Rebuilt every trading night.\n SCEP bid-ask spread and liquidity\n IQ Liquidity Score\n Not scored, 1 of 6 measured.\n A fixed 0 to 100 scale of trading conditions, the same anchors for every fund; 100 is the easiest to trade.

ETFIQ measures this fund\u2019s own day once it has trade data. Size Up to $10m is 1% of what its holdings can absorb in a day, for a buy or a sell. Coming with trade data\n Spread through the day, buyers against sellers, an estimate of retail flow, large trades and the closing auction\u2019s share, each once ETFIQ has trade and quote data.\n Questions people ask\n Who is the LMM for SCEP? SCEP\u2019s lead market maker (LMM) on Cboe BZX is Susquehanna Securities, LLC. Lead market maker per Cboe BZX, as of Oct 23, 2026.
