Guidelines for Supervision of High Speed Traders
The Financial Services Agency establishes supervisory standards for High Speed Traders, requiring the development of internal rules, adequate staffing, and robust operational control systems to prevent abnormal operations and unfair trading. Entities must implement mechanisms such as hard and soft limits and kill switches within their High Speed Trading systems, while officers must meet specific eligibility criteria and undergo rigorous appointment checks. Regional Finance Bureaus are mandated to enforce these requirements through delegated administrative processes, including registration examinations and the power to order business suspensions or dismiss officers for non-compliance.
