Regulation Automated Trading

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposes modifications to its Regulation Automated Trading framework to enhance market safety and soundness. The proposal shifts from a three-level to a two-level risk control structure and introduces a volume-based threshold to define the scope of regulated algorithmic trading participants. Additionally, the Commission seeks comment on revised definitions, source code retention requirements, and streamlined certification obligations for market participants.
