Hello, 


I strongly support S7-30-22 to establish minimum pricing increments, access fees, and requirements for the display of better-priced orders. This is absolutely critical to ensure that all investors have equal access to market information and opportunities. With the current lack of transparency, market makers and broker dealers are able to manipulate and tweak prices to their liking and this eliminates the entire foundation of a fair market. 

Furthermore, the proposed amendments are expected to enhance market quality and increase investor confidence in the integrity of the financial markets. By promoting transparency and reducing the potential for market abuse, the SEC can help foster greater trust and participation in the financial markets.
