Understanding SEC Rule 606 Requirements
Rule 606 aims to bring complete transparency to how broker-dealers route non-directed customer orders. It ensures investors understand:

Where their trades are routed
Why those routing decisions are made
How routing impacts execution quality
Broker-dealers must:

Publish quarterly public reports (PDF + XML) detailing routing of non-directed NMS stock and listed options orders
Provide customer-specific order routing reports upon request
Deliver these reports free of charge when requested
While the rule appears straightforward, meeting its operational requirements is complex, data-heavy, and time-sensitive.

Why Rule 606 Reporting Is So Difficult
Preparing a compliant Rule 606 report requires collecting and harmonizing data from multiple internal systems, execution venues, routing partners, and fee/rebate sources. Firms must:
