is order matching just never going to happen or are you working on improving that?

ray,

can you please explain to me that if Reg NMS is followed to the "T," How can you have a crossed or locked market more than a split second at a time?

Thanks,
jt

The reason we have locked markets for more than a split second is that both parties are under the belief that they posted first. Their routing procedures state that if I'm first then the other exchange/ecn should route to me. Once a market is locked, neither party wants to route to the other to unlock the market because of they would lose the tape revenue (and they believed they were first). Until there is some sort of agreement in place between all market participants, locked markets are here to stay. One solution would be to require the smaller quantity of the two "locked" participants be required to ship to the the larger quantity.
