- (F) A memorandum of each brokerage order, and of any other instruction, given or received for the purchase or sale of securities, whether executed or unexecuted. The memorandum shall show the terms and conditions of the order, and of any other instruction, given or cancellation thereof, the account for which entered, the time of entry, the price at which executed and, to the extent feasible, the time of execution or cancellation. Orders entered pursuant to the exercise of discretionary power by that broker-dealer, or his/her employee, shall be so designated. The term instruction shall be deemed to include instructions between partners and employees of a broker-dealer. The term time of entry shall be deemed to mean the time when that broker-dealer transmits the order or instructions for execution or, if it is not so transmitted, the time when it is received;
- (G) A memorandum of each purchase and sale of securities for the account of that broker-dealer showing the price and, to the extent feasible, the time of execution;

- (J) A record of all puts, calls, spreads, straddles and other options in which that broker-dealer has any direct or indirect interest or which that broker-dealer has granted or guaranteed, containing, at least, an identification of the security and the number of units involved. Those records shall not be required with respect to any cash transaction of one hundred dollars ($100) or less involving only subscription rights or warrants which by their terms expire within ninety (90) days after the issuance thereof.
