Piyush, for most retail clients, they will go to the market where they think they can make the most on the spread... in other words, they go "off market". if fidelity has a buyer and a seller to match, they'll do that as the first option, as they can keep the entire spread.... at least, with fidelity, the chances of having a quick match is pretty good....with some others, they may hold when they could have executed the trade elsewhere...

I use Wall Street Access for options and I like it. They approve trades quickly (Schwab can take up to 5 minutes) and they send it to the primary exchange for the option (Schwab rotates between 4 on a random basis).
