Since nobody else has stepped up to answer this, I've never heard of such a thing. It occurs to me that execution fees for some ECNS, and for SelectNet come in nice round numbers like this. Could this be what you are seeing (e.g., $1 to execute against ISLD and $1 for SNET to direct the order)? Just a thought, for what it's worth.

You may be referring to a service charge that many backoffice clearing firms charge per ticket. the .00333 is on a sell. The service charge covers mailing hard copy statements, confirms, 1099s, and other marketable costs. Regards, Steve@yamner.com
