Hello, 


Writing to ask that you please consider my feedback for the Order Competition Rule (as identified in the subject of this email). 


Higher fines, and consistent enforcement, for SEC rules that are violated is important. Fines must be high enough to actually deter those who would offend. 


In addition, repeat broker-dealer offenders who treat such fines as "the cost of doing business" should simply lose their licenses. 
  
I completely support the rule. Please implement it. 


In addition, I completely support any and all rule changes that bring transparency to dark markets. All investors should have straightforward access to the happenings of the markets.  


I appreciate your time and your work. 


Thanks,
