Zero Uptick
A zero uptick occurs when the purchase of a security is executed at the same price as the immediately preceding trade, but at a higher price than the trade before that, by the smallest increment allowed within the specific trading system. For instance, if a share is traded at $45 and is subsequently sold for $45.5 and $45.5, the two $45.5 trades are considered a zero uptick. Traders who hold long positions benefit from zero uptick rules as they help mitigate the potential for short sellers to rapidly drive down a security’s price.
