easy · Market Microstructure

A stock is priced at $1.05. A market participant submits a quote with a price of $1.0505.

Why is this quote rejected under Rule 612 of Reg NMS?

  1. Because only market makers may submit quotes in sub-penny increments.
  2. Because for stocks priced at or above $1.00, the minimum price increment is $0.01.
  3. Because the quote is not at least 1% away in price from the last reported trade.
  4. Because the minimum increment must be at least $0.001 for all NMS stocks regardless of price.
