GTS’s Joseph Pleffner states that market structure regulation should be a guiding light and less prescriptive, especially when rules seem to be solutions in search of a problem. During his panel at the Security Traders Association National Conference, he suggested the industry take a closer look at existing regulations causing issues in today’s trading environment, including limit-up limit-down, listed sub-dollar securities, and short sale downtick restrictions. #STAOrlando2024 https://lnkd.in/er8Wpxyq
