Series 24: 5.10.2.3. Two-Sided Quote Obligation

Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

5.10.2.3. Two-Sided Quote Obligation

A stub quote is a quote that is intentionally made so far from the prevailing market to guarantee that it will not be executed. Stub quotes were used in the past by market makers when they did not want to trade at certain prices but needed to meet their two-sided trading obligation. Then on a single day in 2010, a deep drop in the market triggered the execution of a large number of trades against stub quotes.

The SEC responded with a new rule that requires market makers to post continuous two-sided quotes within a certain designated percentage of the NBBO (see table) for NMS securities during market hours. These requirements hold for both Nasdaq and ADF entries. If no NBBO exists for the security, then the price range (known as a price band) must be calculated based on the last transaction.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

Recently passed the Series 24 Exam. I owe it to the Solomon Exam Prep series. The format of study and testing preparation was easy to follow and comprehend. I had taken the exam before and used study material through a different provider. It did not give me the sense of readiness in the "connection of the dots" and time-management like the Solomon series did. Such a relief to see the word PASS.

After trying numerous study materials, Solomon was the key to pass my Series 24. The live class was a perfect complement. Thank you Karen for your assistance!

Passed the 24 today ... fun test.. You have a great product. The material was easy to follow and the practice tests were very, very helpful. Thank you.

Danny Klingler, Kestra Financial, Austin, Texas

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.

Kris Nyden, Seattle, WA

I passed my Series 24 with two weeks of nearly full-time study, using the textbook, the online class, and the exam simulator. The textbook was very readable and helpful in providing complete explanations, as well as helpful memorization tips. The online class and pre-recorded sessions were crucial to get through all of the material and put it in relative context. It was helpful to be able to have questions answered instantly and via email afterward. The online simulator questions were just like the exam questions, and the immediate feedback function was essential for learning from the practice quizzes and exam. I needed every minute of my study and practice time to count, and Solomon Exam Prep made it possible. Thank you!
