PSX Pricing
All U.S. Equities**
**Please note that this prices list is abbreviated. For the most comprehensive view of Nasdaq PSX connectivity options and fee schedule please review Phlx Equity 7of the Rule Book.
For all Add pricing tier/incentives on this fee schedule, Nasdaq PSX will calculate a member's percentage of consolidated volume twice - (1) once including activity at all price levels and (2) once excluding all volume below $1 (in the numerator and denominator) while also increasing the required volume percentage threshold by 10% (i.e. 0.10% becomes 0.11%). Nasdaq PSX will determine under which consolidated volume calculation a member receives the best rebate/fee and apply it automatically.

PSX Market Data Revenue ("MDR") Rebate:
1. A PSX Participant may receive a quarterly MDR rebate in proportion to the PSX Participant’s quoting of displayed orders in Tapes A and C securities from the previous calendar quarter (“MDR Rebate”) subject to meeting the requirements mentioned below:
- Quote* at the NBBO at least 25% of the time during Market Hours in an average number of securities (specified below) per day over the course of the quarter through the PSX Participant’s MPID:
| At least 250 symbols | At least 300 symbols |
*For purposes of this Section, a PSX Participant will be deemed to quote at the NBBO if the PSX Participant’s MPID has a displayed order of at least 100 shares in a security at either the national best bid or the national best offer or both the national best bid and offer.
2. MDR will be calculated separately for quotes in each Tape A and C security, for a total of two MDR pools. If the MDR received by PSX in any given pool exceeds the following thresholds in any given calendar quarter, 40% of such excess MDR will be payable to PSX Participants in proportion to their respective quoting of displayed orders in that pool.
| $110,000 | $200,000 |
3. A PSX Participant will not be paid an MDR Rebate in any calendar quarter in which the total MDR Rebate attributable to the PSX Participant is less than $500.
4. Please see the example below:
- PSX Actual Quoting revenue for Tape C = $350,000.
- Excess Revenue = $350,000 less $200,000 = $150,000.
- Amount to be shared with participants = $60,000 ($150,000*40%).
- There are five PSX Participants (i.e., Participants A, B, C, D and E) that had eligible quote activity in Tape C securities in the previous calendar quarter. After calculating the Tape C quote credits for each Participant, the attributed MDR for each Participant would be as follows:
| Attributed MDR | ||
| A | 24,000 | $1,440 |
| B | 75,000 | $4,500 |
| C | 201,000 | $12,060 |
| D | 300,000 | $18,000 |
| E | 400,000 | $24,000 |
| Total | 1,000,000 | $60,000 |
Membership Fees
Firms must be members of Nasdaq PHLX (PHLX) in order to trade on PSX. However, there are currently no participation fees for trading equities as part of a PHLX membership. Refer to the PHLX membership page for more information.
Rule 11890 Fees
Complaints
PSX will charge fees for members who file more than two unsuccessful clearly erroneous complaints during a calendar month.
- Each security listed in a filing is treated as a separate complaint for purposes of this fee.
- An unsuccessful complaint is one in which PSX does not break any of the trades included in that complain
Following the second unsuccessful complaint, the member shall be assessed a fee of $250 for each additional unsuccessful complaint.
Appeals
There is a $500 fee for unsuccessful appeals of Clearly Erroneous Rule 11890 adjudications. The party initiating the appeal shall be assessed the $500 fee if the Market Operations Review Committee (MORC) upholds the decision of the Nasdaq official who made the initial determination. The fee will be reflected in the monthly invoice.
Sales Fees to Fund Section 31 Obligations
In order to fund Section 31 exchange obligations, we assess a Sales Fee to Clearing Firms relative to the covered sale activity of their executing brokers on PSX.
The Sales Fee will be assessed no later than the 10th calendar day of the following month and facilitated through a direct debit against the Clearing Firm's settlement account at the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC).
The PSX sales fee invoicing is performed separately from NASDAQ and BX. There are discreet invoices and support files available. The PSX direct debit appears on the Settlement Account line #62 of firm's DTCC settlement invoice. The BX direct debit appears on the Settlement Account line #45 and the NASDAQ direct debit appears on the Settlement Account line #43.
