The Miami International Securities Exchange’s planned U.S. options venue will compete for orders by giving priority to market makers that meet certain quoting requirements, according to its application to regulators.

MIAX, as the proposed exchange is called, may become the 11th U.S. venue to trade equity options if the Securities and Exchange Commission approves its application published yesterday. The exchange has been planned for several years and its filing, submitted to the SEC in April, provides the first detailed look into its trading plans and rules. The SEC is seeking comment on the exchange as it considers approval.
