Notice 2018-011 - CSE Trading Fee Schedule

December 20, 2018

 The Canadian Securities Exchange announces changes to its trading fee schedule that will take effect on January 1, 2019.

1. Flat Fee

The current flat fee model used for TSX-V listed securities is being expanded to TSX listed securities.

For TSX listed securities trading below $1.00, a flat fee of $15 will apply to each side of a trade that is greater than or equal to 200,000 shares.

A Trader ID or a Trader ID Group with orders that reach the stated target percentage of time at the NBBO on a per symbol basis will be awarded fee credits based on all of their eligible passive trades on that symbol for the month.  Eligible passive trades means passives trades excluding intentional crosses, registered unintentional crosses, odd-lot trades, flat fee trades and dark trading volumes.
