Order Protection Rule
The Order Protection Rule requires marketplaces to establish, maintain and ensure compliance with written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent inferior-priced orders from “trading through”, or executing before, immediately accessible, visible, better-priced limit orders.
On November 13, 2009, the CSA introduced the Order Protection Rule through amendments to National Instrument 21-101 Marketplace Operation and related Companion Policy 21-101CP, and National Instrument 23-101 Trading Rules and related Companion Policy 23-101CP. The Order Protection Rule took effect on February 1, 2011.
