STOCK USA EXECUTION SERVICES has prepared this
report pursuant to a U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission rule requiring all brokerage
firms to make publicly available reports on
their order-routing practices. The report
provides information on the routing of
"non-directed orders" - any order that the
customer has not specifically instructed to be
routed to a particular venue for execution.
This report is divided into four sections: one
for securities listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, one for securities listed on The
Nasdaq Stock Market, one for securities listed
on the American Stock Exchange or regional
exchanges, and one for exchange-listed options.
For each section, this report identifies the
number of non-directed orders as a percentage of
total customer orders.

Order Routing Information
Stock USA Execution Services customers typically choose their own execution venues by entering their orders through direct access order execution software. Non-directed orders are a relatively small percentage of our clients' order flow. It is our policy to send non-directed orders to brokers, dealers, market makers, exchanges, and other execution venues with the ability to provide best execution consistent with adherence to SEC Regulation NMS.
In some circumstances of non-directed order flow, Stock USA Execution Services, Inc. receives compensation for directing certain equity and options order flow to selected exchanges, market makers, brokers and dealers. Compensation is in the form of a per-share or per-contract payment. In cases in which orders are routed to exchanges, the rebates are paid according to rates posted on the exchanges' websites, and the credits may help to offset other exchange charges. Exchange rebates are less than or equal to the equivalent of $0.003 per share. In cases when Stock USA's non-directed order flow is routed to market makers, the compensation is less than or equal to the equivalent of $0.001 per share.
You should note that, consistent with the requirements of SEC Rule 606, the statistics capture only a small portion of Stock USA's order flow. This report is intended only to provide an overview of the firm's order routing practices for the orders not self-directed by our clients. Accordingly, the data is not a reliable basis upon which to assess whether the firm or any trading venue to which the firm routes orders has satisfied its best execution obligation.
Further, while we have taken care in preparing the data presented in this report, the data has not been audited and may contain errors. Any decision about whether to open an account or direct orders to Stock USA should not be based solely on the information presented in this report, but on a broader evaluation of the full range of services and products we offer.

the identity of the venue to which the customer’s orders
were routed for execution in the six months prior to the
request, whether the orders were directed orders or
non-directed orders, and the time of the transactions,
if any, that resulted from such orders.
