NYSE Arca Equities Membership Types
The NYSE Arca equities platform provides for three types of participants: Market Makers, Lead Market Makers and Order Routing ETP Holders.
Market Makers
A Market Maker is an ETP holder or firm that has registered with NYSE Euronext to trade securities. Market Makers are obligated to maintain continuous two-sided Q Orders in all registered securities.
Lead Market Makers
Any registered Market Maker may apply to become a Lead Market Maker (LMM). LMMs operate off-the-exchange trading with more stringent quoting obligations and in some cases, participation guarantees. LMMs must maintain specified cash or liquid assets based upon the number of issues traded.
