Adrian Alvarez Comment On Regulatory Notice 26-15

I’m an individual investor. I am writing about Regulatory Notice 26-15 and FINRA's request for comment on modernizing its best execution guidance under Rule 5310. It asks whether order-by-order review of internalized orders should still be required, whether a firm's own order router can count as the review of that router, and whether there should be safe harbors for documented procedures. Order-by-order review is the only standard under which the price I actually receive is what gets reviewed. Relaxing it would remove the last point at which this rule touches my money.
