BATS Trading Inc. announced today that it will offer inverted pricing for New York Stock Exchange-listed securities in September in an aggressive move designed to encourage more trading in fully automated markets.

Under the program, BATS will pay rebates of 0.34¢ per share for adding liquidity to the BATS order book while charging 0.24¢ for removing liquidity. The plan will be in effect until the end of September or until BATS handles 10 billion shares, whichever occurs first. Standard routing charges remain unchanged at 0.26¢ per share.

“The U.S. markets are on the edge of a tipping point for NYSE-listed trading,” BATS chief executive Joe Ratterman said in a recent email announcing the pricing to subscribers and other industry participants. “We now see conditions developing in the market that fit the model of a trend that is ready to explode.”

Earlier this week, BATS announced its ability to quote via the ISE Stock Exchange in addition to the National Stock Exchange, offering quoting redundancy and resiliency to ensure that BATS’ quotes are fully and consistently available to the marketplace. Ideally, BATS will send a mix of its quotes to both the NSX and the ISE.

BATS regularly handles more than 6% of daily U.S. equities volume, offering trading in NYSE-, Nasdaq- and Amex-listed securities. The firm launched trading in January 2006.
