The 390 Professional Orders Rule is a regulatory guideline established by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) to classify high-frequency options traders as professional Trader.
Customers are classified as professional Traders if they place an average of 390 option orders per trading day in a calendar month.
Every submitted options order—whether filled, rejected, or canceled—counts toward the 390-order threshold, including:
Each individual buy or sell order is counted separately.
8 legs or fewer → Counts as 1 order
9 legs or more → Each leg counts as a separate order
Each modification counts as a new order
Exceptions apply when replacing "child" orders within a parent-child structure
Orders that adjust based on Best Bid Offer (BBO) or National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) count as a new order each time they update.
