What’s wrong with the following market structure idea? 1. Set up an order book that only retail brokers can send orders to, call it APEX for example. 2. Whenever a retail broker receives a marketable order, send it to the venue with the best price (either APEX or a lit venue)

So I know in the discussion it came up to have retail only price discovery, but I am trying to think about why? I think my issues with PFOF is just monopolization of the space, or maybe its lack of stadardization (that and I dont know if I want my orders routed through an entity)

2/x I believe emily brought up that banning it (pfof) because it has a perceived notion of being "bad" is wrong, but that doesnt mean it cant be used to take advantage of the retail trader.

Never underestimate the willingness of people to ignore financial products that are in their best interest.

I think the element you’re missing that the APEX order book’s data feeds should only be available to retail brokers to minimize leakage of liquidity provider’s alpha to the street.
