To whom it may concern: As a retail trader I have witnessed repeated and endless price manipulation/suppression on multiple stocks via abuse of FTD’s and other illegal tactics - such as PFOF, naked shorting, and dark pool abuse. Allowing SR-NSCC-2022-03 to pass will only broaden the scope of potential abuse of the FTD’s. As the SEC, part of your mission is to ensure a free and fair market for all. As an individual retail trader, I no longer believe you are upholding this mission, or perhaps have lost sight of what it means. I implore you to reconsider this rule change and strike it down. The retail community is losing faith in your ability to protect us. Thank you, Steve LaBard
