NYSE American
Membership

When applying for membership on NYSE American you obtain reciprocity of membership on NYSE for equities as well, and vice versa. NYSE American Membership provides broker-dealers with a price-time priority execution model similar to NYSE Arca. Membership brings access to features designed to facilitate increased midpoint trading such as a delay on incoming orders and proprietary market data and a Discretionary Peg Order that executes up to the midpoint if the quote is deemed stable or rests passively if deemed unstable.

Membership Types

The NYSE American equities platform provides for two types of participants: Market Maker/Market Maker Authorized Traders (MMATs) and Electronic Designated Market Makers (eDMMs).

Market Makers (MMAT)

A Market Maker is an ETP holder or firm that has registered with NYSE American to trade securities. Market Makers are obligated to maintain continuous two-sided Q Orders in all registered securities.

Electronic Designated Market Makers (EDMM)

Any registered Market Maker may apply to become an Electronic Designated Market Maker (eDMM). eDMMs may operate on or off-the-exchange trading with more stringent quoting obligations and in some cases, participation guarantees. eDMMs must maintain specified cash or liquid assets based upon the number of issues traded.
