Dear SEC,

I support IEX because as a nobody from Louisiana, I am attempting my hand at day trading and have seen first hand lots of manipulation, quote spoofing, and other bogus action first hand that the current market allows and SEC does nothing about. Trading has become a well known game of "dealing with the manipulation" and one of the few ways to alleviate this is to allow more brokerages, more exchanges in which traders can opt to trade through.

IEX should be a protected quote because I want the chance to have my orders executed on a fair market that does not provide select participants with speed advantages and I don't want my orders sent to an Exchange that identifies my orders as being from a retail investor (BATS/EDGX, NASDAQ, NYSE). I intend to use the IEX Router because I cant afford to build my own and I do not want my orders subject to latency arbitrage.

Thank you.
James G, day trader from Louisiana
