PROHIBITION ON DOUBLE PRINTING
Market Regulation Services Inc. (“RS”) wishes to remind Participants of the prohibition on “double printing”. The term “double printing” refers to two trades being made on a marketplace when only one trade was required to execute an order. For example, double printing occurs when a firm with a client order to buy purchases stock as principal (into inventory) and then crosses the stock to the client, effecting two trades on a marketplace to satisfy the client order. This practice creates artificial volume and results in inflated trading volume figures for both the firm and the marketplace, damaging the credibility of both the marketplace and its trading statistics.

Please do not trade on my advice or posts: I haven't made a dime yet.
