16 Id. 

17 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii). 

18 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6)(iii) requires a self-regulatory organization to 

give the Commission written notice of its intent to 

file the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and text of the proposed rule change, 

at least five business days prior to the date of filing 

of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time 

as designated by the Commission. The Exchange 

has satisfied this requirement. 19 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

open market and a national market 

system, and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. 

Additionally, the Exchange believes the 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

the Section 6(b)(5) 16 requirement that 

the rules of an exchange not be designed 

to permit unfair discrimination between 

customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers. 

In particular, the Exchange believes 

the proposed rule change protects 

investors and the public interest 

because it provides all Users with an 

efficient process to enter and update 

auction responses. Like quoting, auction 

responses are a critical form of liquidity 

on the Exchange. Auction mechanisms 

and the execution and price 

improvement opportunities they 

provide are dependent on auction 

responses submitted during the 

auctions. Permitting Users to submit 

auction responses into bulk order ports 

is consistent with the purpose of these 

ports and have a similar purpose as the 

orders that Users are currently 

permitted to enter into bulk order ports. 

The Exchange believes the proposed 

rule change may encourage the 

provision of additional liquidity in 

auctions, which will provide additional 

execution and price improvement 

opportunities to auctioned orders, 

which ultimately benefit investors. 

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. The 

Exchange does not believe the proposed 

rule change will impose any burden on 

intramarket competition, as the use of 

bulk order ports and the proposed 

functionality is voluntary and available 

to all Users of the Exchange. Bulk order 

entry functionality is available to all 

Users of the Exchange, as is the 

proposed functionality to submit 

auction responses into bulk order ports. 

Users may already submit auction 

responses to the Exchange using other 

types of ports—the proposed rule 

change merely provides Users of the 

Exchange with an additional method to 

submit auction responses to the 

Exchange. The Exchange does not 

believe the proposed rule change will 

have any direct impact on intermarket 

competition, as the proposed rule 

change relates solely to the manner in 

which Users may submit auction 

responses into auctions occurring on the 

Exchange. 

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants or Others 

The Exchange has neither solicited 

nor received written comments on the 

proposed rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change does not: (i) Significantly affect 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest; (ii) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (iii) become 

operative for 30 days from the date on 

which it was filed, or such shorter time 

as the Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 17 and 

subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b–4 

thereunder.18

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is: (i) Necessary or appropriate in 

the public interest; (ii) for the protection 

of investors; or (iii) otherwise in 

furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 

If the Commission takes such action, the 

Commission shall institute proceedings 

to determine whether the proposed rule 

should be approved or disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act. 

Comments may be submitted by any of 

the following methods:

[Release No. 34–84012; File No. SR–BX–

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq 

BX, Inc.; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed 

Rule Change To Provide New Optional 

Functionality to Minimum Quantity 

Orders 

August 31, 2018. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on August 

20, 2018, Nasdaq BX, Inc. (‘‘BX’’ or 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I and II 

below, which Items have been prepared 

by the Exchange. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to provide 

new optional functionality to Minimum 

Quantity Orders. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on the Exchange’s website at 

http://nasdaqbx.cchwallstreet.com/, at 

the principal office of the Exchange, and 

at the Commission’s Public Reference 

Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of and basis for 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item IV below. The 

Exchange has prepared summaries, set 

forth in sections A, B, and C below, of 

the most significant aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange is proposing to provide 

a new optional functionality to the 

Minimum Quantity Order Attribute,3

which is identical to the optional 

functionality provided by The Nasdaq 

Stock Market LLC (‘‘Nasdaq’’).4

Current Functionality 

An Order designated with the 

Minimum Quantity Order Attribute 

(‘‘MQ’’) allows a market participant to 

specify a minimum share amount at 

which it will execute. For example, a 

market participant seeking to buy or sell 

a large position may desire to execute 

only if a large quantity of shares can be 

traded to reduce the price impact of the 

security being bought or sold. An Order 

with MQ will not execute unless the 

volume of contra-side liquidity available 

to execute against the order meets or 

exceeds the designated minimum. When 

an Order with MQ is received by the 

Exchange, it will execute immediately 5

if there is sufficient liquidity available 

on the Exchange within the limit price 

of the Order with MQ. Specifically, the 

Order with MQ will execute if the sum 

of the shares of one or more resting 

Orders is equal to or greater than its 

minimum quantity. In the case of 

multiple resting Orders being aggregated 

to meet the minimum quantity, each 

contra-side order creates a separate 

execution and thus there can be 

multiple executions that, in aggregate, 

equal or exceed the minimum quantity. 

If an Order with MQ does not execute 

immediately due to lack of contra-side 

liquidity that is equal to or greater than 

the designated minimum, the Order will 

post 6 to the Exchange book as a NonDisplayed Order with the characteristics 

of its underlying Order Type.7 Once 

posted, an Order with MQ will execute 

only if an incoming Order is marketable 

against the resting Order with MQ and 

is equal to or greater than the minimum 

quantity set on the resting Order with 

MQ. Multiple potential executions 

cannot be aggregated to meet the 

minimum quantity requirement of the 

posted Order with MQ. If an Order with 

MQ executes partially and the number
