How does Citadel Securities trade in equity markets?

One way Citadel Securities trades in equity markets is by paying brokers like Robinhood a fee to receive retail investors’ orders, competing with the likes of Virtu — the publicly traded market maker — and Susquehanna to trade those orders at or better than current market prices. It’s a controversial practice known as payment for order flow.
