ACT Reporting Requirements
Trade Reporting
ACT is the platform where all equity trades are reported. Participants executing a transaction must either input trade reports to ACT or browse the inputted report and either accept or reject it. Reports must be filed within 30 seconds of execution. The contra-party must accept or decline the trade within 20 minutes of execution.
Information submitted in a transaction report includes the following: (1) the symbol of the security, (2) the number of shares or bonds, (3) the price of the transaction, (4) a symbol indicating whether the transaction is a buy, sell, or cross, and if applicable, short sell, and (5) the time of execution. Additional information may be required as well, but transaction reports consistently include the five components listed above.
Both parties may submit reports. However, only one is assigned the specific reporting responsibilities for standard trades. See below.

TESTIMONIALS

I passed the 24 the first time with the help of the Solomon materials. The online course and the exams really helped focus in and clarify what was important. I've recommended them to all of my colleagues!

I stuck to the outline day by day and it really helped me with sticking to a routine and curriculum. I passed the Series 24 on my 1st try! Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the Securities Industry.

I just passed the series 24! It is, by far, the hardest test that I have ever taken. I had failed it 4 times using other study materials. I have never felt more defeated! Solomon Exam Prep is the best! I took over 154 practice tests...without seeing the same question twice. I was able to finally grasp the material and passed! My only regret is that I did not use the Solomon Exam Prep on my first attempt!

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!

Between September 18 and December 3, I took exams for the Series 62, 63, 6 and 24. I studied for everything with Solomon, and passed them all on the first try. Solomon’s interactive/Ask the Professor teaching method was extremely helpful in grasping the necessary concepts. What a relief to be done. Thanks, Karen!

I tried studying on my own using materials from another vendor, which was super wordy and lengthy. After much frustration, I looked for new study materials and discovered Solomon. It is concise, clear and presented well. The subject area quizzes and practice exams were unlimited and very helpful. Six weeks later I passed the Series 24 with an 85! I would not hesitate to use Solomon again, should the need arise.
