You are every bit obliged to provide a level playing field for us small time retails investors as you are for players of size and professionals. We of all people need a level playing field which is impossible at this time.

I don't ask, I demand you do your job and make the IEX a protected quote so that I can purchase an affordable IEX Router and not be handicapped by those who are currently being allowed an unfair advantage and making it impossible for me to participate.

I am just 21 and should I be forced to keep my savings in a mattress or have it stolen from me by this unfair system in place. Moreover, how can I learn market fundamentals at work when they are so distorted.

It is time for you to stick up for Main Street aka the small retail investor so that we have some assurances that our hard earned funds are not taken advantage of. The amount is probably trivial to those using these system but I assure you it's not trivial to me and I worked hard for it.

Thank you,
Jena
