ETrade to offer choice in trading

ARLINGTON, Va.

Traditional "market makers," which currently handle most trades, pay brokerages to send them orders. They often use their own inventory of stock to complete orders, pocketing the difference between what they paid to buy it and the investors' purchase price. ETrade, based in Palo Alto, Calif., will begin offering customers a choice between the two methods in the fourth quarter, USA Today reported Wednesday. It will route orders to an ECN called Archipelago, of which ETrade owns 25%. See full story
