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.

After trying numerous study materials, Solomon was the key to pass my Series 24. The live class was a perfect complement. Thank you Karen for your assistance!

Marie, Miami, FL

Stick to the plan and pass! 4 times in a row, 7, 63, 24 and now 79. You can't beat the Solomon materials.

Eric Altmann

I passed my Series 24 with two weeks of nearly full-time study, using the textbook, the online class, and the exam simulator. The textbook was very readable and helpful in providing complete explanations, as well as helpful memorization tips. The online class and pre-recorded sessions were crucial to get through all of the material and put it in relative context. It was helpful to be able to have questions answered instantly and via email afterward. The online simulator questions were just like the exam questions, and the immediate feedback function was essential for learning from the practice quizzes and exam. I needed every minute of my study and practice time to count, and Solomon Exam Prep made it possible. Thank you!

3rd time is a charm and it took Solomon to do it. None of the other materials in my first two attempts were strong enough to enable me to reason my way to the correct answers. Solomon's angle on this material was closest to the actual test and was the reason I got there.

As an aside, the ongoing personal help was very surprising and commendable. Thank you, Solomon!

Jason Bowen, Southington, CT

I was very impressed with all elements of Solomon's Series 24 offerings. Solomon provided an incredibly organized system for me to utilize, which kept me "on point" and focused. I felt good confidence going into the test because of the structured system that Solomon developed. I would certainly recommend Solomon to anyone that is taking the Series 24.

William Bundy, Bundy Group. Charlotte, NC

I just took the Series 24 and passed with an 80%. I couldn't have done it without the Solomon test simulator.
