Some things to remember:


  • Limit Orders and Marketable orders with no dark liquidity available will rest in the dark.
  • Round Lots only. Odd lots will be rejected. Mixed Lots may be executed if they are matched exactly, or, they may be executed in round lot increments with the remainder cancelledback.
