NYSE Gets SEC Nod on Plan to Distribute Limit Orders

New York, Dec. 12 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission approved a New York Stock Exchange plan to
publicly post limit orders, which are requests to buy or sell
stock at set prices, the Big Board said.

The world's largest equity market will publish its limit
orders through market data vendors in a service called NYSE
OpenBook. It goes into effect January 24 and will be updated every
10 seconds.

The product is intended to provide traders with a better
sense of supply and demand in specific shares. Since U.S. markets
introduced penny pricing earlier this year to replace fractions,
stocks began trading at 100 ``price points'' per dollar, instead
of 16, typically used in smaller orders.

The Big Board currently distributes the last sale price and
the best prices to buy and sell along with the number of shares at
those prices.

``NYSE OpenBook responds to the demand of broker-dealers and
institutional investors for depth-of-market data,'' NYSE group
executive vice president Robert Britz said in a statement.
