All option exchanges instituted this charge at same time. So much for
competitive, free markets and consumer friendly supervision by SEC!

Is this being done by all brokers or specific brokers?

Alex,
I don't know who dreamed up this cancellation fee, but it is a tax on all
traders which is going to reduce liquidity:
1) This week I paid a $1.20 for canceling a GTC order which had been working
for a week. I will not place GTC orders in the future since it is cheaper to
allow day orders to expire and replace the order if desired.
2) I will also avoid leaving limit orders in the market during the day since
adjusting these orders during the day will cost me $1.20 for each
adjustment.
I am also doing my little bit to protest this fee:
1) This week I elected to use SP emini futures contracts in lieu of some SPX
deep in money option trades I would ordinarily have executed.
2) I filed a written complaint with the SEC. Not only is charging a fee
without executing an order or providing a proven audit trail, egregious, but
the $1.20 charged is far in excess of any incremental cost which the
exchanges might justify.
