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.
