Position Limits and Position Accountability for Security Futures Products

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposes to amend its position limits rules for security futures products by increasing the default equity position limit and modifying the criteria for setting higher limits and accountability levels. The proposed regulation grants designated contract markets discretion to apply limits to either a person's net position or their position on the same side of the market. Additionally, the Commission proposes criteria for setting position limits on security futures products other than equity securities, generally based on an estimate of deliverable supply.
