The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposes Regulation AT to establish comprehensive risk controls, transparency measures, and safeguards for automated trading on U.S. designated contract markets. This rulemaking aims to update the regulatory framework to address the transition from manual pit trading to electronic platforms by consolidating previous industry standards and Commission rules into a unified body of law. The proposal requires algorithmic trading persons and clearing futures commission merchants to implement pre-trade risk controls, testing protocols, and compliance reporting to mitigate systemic risks and enhance market integrity.
