ACT Reporting Requirements
Trade Reporting
ACT is the platform where all equity trades are reported. Participants executing a transaction must either input trade reports to ACT or browse the inputted report and either accept or reject it. Reports must be filed within 10 seconds of execution. The contra-party must accept or decline the trade within 20 minutes of execution.
Information submitted in a transaction report includes the following: (1) the symbol of the security, (2) the number of shares or bonds, (3) the price of the transaction, (4) a symbol indicating whether the transaction is a buy, sell, or cross, and if applicable, short sell, and (5) the time of execution. Additional information may be required as well, but transaction reports consistently include the five components listed above.
Both parties may submit reports. However, only one is assigned the specific reporting responsibilities for standard trades. See below.

What are people saying?
I
would like to say that Solomon test prep had the most varied and comprehensive
test bank I have seen. The questions ranged in difficulty and the answer
feedback was so detailed, that I felt that I was mastering concepts rather than
trying to pin down certain facts in a question just to get the 'one,' answer. I
saw many iterations of the sample examinations, and with the courage to keep
clicking next and learning, I passed with a score I'm more than happy to claim.
Also, the staff are very responsive. I'll be coming back.

I passed the 24 with the help of the audio, book and test questions. I previously took this test and failed walking away with the thought nothing I studied looked familiar. I also didn't really understand how certain areas functioned... but found the information provided with Solomon worked best for me. The flow charts and extra resources section were extremely helpful in breaking down sections of this "Dry" test. The audio was great to review and the book format was easy to read and concise. I felt almost every question I knew what they were asking and I was able to eliminate one or two questions. Don't waste your money with other sites. Solomon will allow you to pass on the first time. Good luck!

I passed the 24 the first time with the help of the Solomon materials. The online course and the exams really helped focus in and clarify what was important. I've recommended them to all of my colleagues!

I watched the videos twice, took notes from them, and took hundreds of practice problems. The test simulator was the best part of the program. I found it helpful that you could go back and look at the questions you missed and use them to help refine what to study. I definitely would recommend the program. Get 85%+ on the practice and you should pass the 24.

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!
