Series 24: 5.10.2.3. Two-Sided Quote Obligation

Taken from our Series 24 Online Guide

5.10.2.3. Two-Sided Quote Obligation

A stub quote is a quote that is intentionally made so far from the prevailing market to guarantee that it will not be executed. Stub quotes were used in the past by market makers when they did not want to trade at certain prices but needed to meet their two-sided trading obligation. Then on a single day in 2010, a deep drop in the market triggered the execution of a large number of trades against stub quotes.

The SEC responded with a new rule that requires market makers to post continuous two-sided quotes within a certain designated percentage of the NBBO (see table) for NMS securities during market hours. These requirements hold for both Nasdaq and ADF entries. If no NBBO exists for the security, then the price range (known as a price band) must be calculated based on the last transaction.

I studied for the Series 24 for two and a half months. I thank God for his grace passed on the first attempt. The exam simulator is superb, it's projection of readiness to sit for an exam is spot on. All the feedback I received on how difficult the test was proved to be very helpful. As a result I over studied and followed the recommended study plan step by step which was key. Thanks again Jeremy and team, Solomon exam prep is the best ;)

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 passed the Series 24 on the first try with an 80%! This was the highest of all of my Series exam scores and I attribute much of my success to Solomon's amazing study materials. The practice exams are spot-on and the video lectures were a great supplement to the readings. I suggest following the study schedule Solomon provides for a successful outcome!

I took my Series 24 on July 28 and passed!! I had not passed 2 prior Series 24 exams and was down to my last attempt. A fellow principal on my team who had not passed his Series 24 his first time told me about the Solomon practice tests and how they helped him. It was such a big help for me passing exam as the questions were structured more like the real exam than any other practice tests I’ve taken. I have since gone to other employees at my firm for other tests, such as the Series 7, SIE among others and have told them about the Solomon test materials and some of them are now purchasing Solomon as well.

Finally! Having used the study material provided by my firm, I couldn't get over the passing level. Came out of pocket for Solomon, and passed [the Series 24] on the first effort - Thank you!
