Abstract:
Regulation Automated Trading is NOT being submitted today; Regulated Automated Trading SUPPLEMENTAL is being submitted. In Regulation Automated Trading, Commission seeks to update Commission rules in response to the evolution from pit trading to electronic trading. The risk controls and other rules proposed in the NPRM and the Supplemental NPRM are focused on algorithmic order origination or routing by market participants, and electronic order execution by DCMs. In addition to mitigating risks arising from algorithmic trading activity, the proposed rules are intended to increase transparency around DCM electronic trade matching platforms and the use of self-trade prevention tools on DCMs. Furthermore, the proposed rules are intended to foster transparency with respect to DCM programs and activities, including market maker and trading incentive programs, that have become more prominent as automated trading becomes the dominant market model. The proposal being submitted is a Supplement to the Automated Trading proposal, which is not yet final. Proposed § 1.3(x)(1)(iii) would require certain floor traders that have Direct Electronic Access,engage in Algorithmic Trading, and satisfy a volume threshold test, to prepare and submit forms to register with the Commission. The collection of information is necessary to determine fitness for registration under the Act and to prevent and mitigate risks arising from algorithmic trading activity. The obligations created by the proposed rules are essential to avoid prevent disruptions to market integrity, avoid systemic risk and promote responsible innovation and fair competition among boards of trade, other markets and market participants.
