US execution venues offer cheaper trading

Two US trading venues, equities platform Direct Edge and options exchange International Securities Exchange (ISE) – which owns 31.54% of Direct Edge – will introduce new fee schedules on 1 May that offer more attractive pricing.

Direct Edge will increase the rebate for posting liquidity on its EDGX trading platform for “Super Tier” customers to $0.003 from $0.0029 while leaving the change for taking liquidity unchanged at 0.0026.

Users qualify for Direct Edge’s Super Tier if on a daily basis they either: add 40 million shares to either of the EDGX or EDGA trading platforms or both combined; add 20 million shares to either or both platforms and route 20 million shares or more through EDGA; or add 10 million shares or more to EDGX, as long as added liquidity on the platform is at least 5 million shares greater than the previous calendar month.
