Shouldn we just synchronize to the NIST atomic clock because we can’t ensure that our time provider is actually in synchronization with the NIST standard?
Not necessarily. You can synchronize your clocks with any time provider. Most time providers provide information about the difference between their clocks and the NIST clocks. Use this information in order to determine if your business clocks are actually in synchronization. If your chosen time provider does not consistently provide this information, or you have reason to believe that the information is inaccurate, contact the time provider and FINRA and, if the problem cannot be rectified, choose another time provider. Your firm is ultimately responsible for its compliance with the OATS Rules.
