Primary Peg Launching September 30
Effective September 30, 2025, Cboe Canada will add a visible “Primary Peg” order type, also known as a “Near-side Peg” to its NEO-L and NEO-N trading books. This order type is designed to peg at or away from the Protected National Best Bid (PNBB) for buy orders and at or away from the Protected National Best Offer (PNBO) for sell orders.
A Primary Peg order can optionally include a peg offset amount on the order to peg away from the PNBBO by a specified amount. If the peg offset amount is not supplied by the Member on entry, the order will peg to the PNBB for buy orders and to the PNBO for sell orders.
Please note that only non-aggressive peg offset amounts are accepted; buy orders must have offsets with a negative amount (e.g., -0.01), and sell orders must have an offset with a positive amount (e.g., +0.02).
Additionally, an order can optionally include a price cap, and as the PNBBO changes, the order will not be priced more aggressively than that price. The order will re-price to the PNBB or PNBO once the PNBB or PNBO is no longer more aggressive than the price cap.
For additional information, including a trading example illustrating how the Primary Peg will function, please see the May 2025 Trading Notice, in which the Primary Peg was initially proposed.
