Getting you better than National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) prices for your orders translates to extra money in your pocket. How does a price improvement affect your bottom line? If the best quoted price for your sell order of 1,000 shares were $20.50 for example, and we were able to have your order executed at $20.51, you would earn $10 more as result of this price improvement.
