trading accounts also have an electronic connection

What is IslandECN(ISLD)
Island is one of the most liquid
ECN limit books on the stock market. Islands mission
is to provide investors with an open, transparent and
fully accessible marketplace. Island is about finding
a better destination for your order; a better marketplace
for your broker to send your order. Traditionally, a
broker/dealer would forward an investors order
to a market maker, or to an exchange floor specialist.
By placing your orders with Island, your broker often
avoids the costs and time-loss linked to these middlemen,
and takes advantage of a cheap, fast and reliable execution
of trades. Island is the pioneer in bringing the advantages
of electronic markets to individual investors. Hours
8am to 8pm
Reliability
Island has developed a state-of-the-art system
that is simple enough to remain stable, efficient enough
to handle a trading volume of more than 53 billion shares
in 2000.
Anonymity
Investors often prefer anonymity. On Island they
have it. Island displays the number of shares and the
price, but it does not show the brokerage house that
placed the order on Island, nor does it provide any
other clue about the investors identity, regardless
of whether the order was received from an individual
investor or a large institution.
What is Archipelago ECN? (ARCA)
Orders in the ARCA book can be
matched internally or will be preferenced to other market
participants. ARCA's SmartBookTM proprietary execution
algorithm utilizes an exclusive preferencing algorithm
to find the best price available internally and/or externally
by routing the order directly to the market(s) displaying
the best price and order/execution ratio (based on %
fill history, time and size shown). Multiple preferences
can be sent simultaneously. Orders that are not marketable,
at the time of entry, will be added to our National
Order Book. Use the ARCA system to preference an order
to a specific Nasdaq Market Participant or Listed Market
Center. To improve your chance of getting a fill, your
directed Nasdaq order will always check the ARCA book
before it routes the order to the selected Market Maker
ID (MMID). Hours 8am to 8pm
SuperSoes
Once an order is entered
on SuperSoes, the following will occur:
The order will go to the Market
Maker at the specified price. The order may be split
up among many available market participants. If there
are a remaining
number of shares to fill, SuperSOES will target the
Market Makers with
reserved amounts (after its targeted the participants
posting, first).
SuperSoes
can execute orders up to 999,999 shares. Orders in excess
of the size limits may be divided into smaller orders
to meet the size requirements. Professionals and Professional
may enter orders on this system.
Participation
SuperSoes participation
is mandatory for the NNM securities in which a Nasdaq
Market Maker is registered. Participation is optional
for electronic communications networks (ECNs)/alternative
trading systems (ATSs) and unlisted trading privileges
(UTPs) exchanges.
Hours Of Operation
SuperSoes orders priced as
"market" may be entered into the system beginning
at system open (8:00 a.m. Eastern Time [ET]) for execution
at market open (9:30 a.m., ET). Marketable limit orders
and market orders may be entered into SuperSoes during
the normal market hours of 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., ET.
SuperDOT
An electronic method of
sending your orders to the trading post on the NYSE.
