Conversation Starter How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?

Example of ways we make money and conflicts of interest:

As noted above, one of the ways we make money from payments from market centers for directing to them – through our instruction or the instruction of our clearing firm and executing broker, Velocity Clearing – your order flow. This structure enables us to offer you commission-free trading in your account. The more actively you trade the more money we make.

Payment for order flow has been described as a conflict of interest for various reasons. Orders that are executable may not get executed as they may be routed to market makers that do not have the highest liquidity. In addition, the quality of the prices on market or limit orders may be diminished due to the orders being routed to a particular market maker rather than the venue with the best execution price.
