The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has concluded that the growth of high-frequency trading has tapered off. ASCI’s latest review of the practice has concluded “tactical advantages” formerly enjoyed by high-frequency traders have been dissipating as algorithmic execution of trades has become an increasingly mainstream tool.
Concern over the impact of high-frequency trading (HFT) operations on the Australian equities market has declined, according to new research released by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
The Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) reportedly may resurrect the idea of implementing a 500 millisecond pause on trades in an effort to put the brakes on high-frequency trading (HFT).
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission today confirmed it will not move ahead with previously proposed regulatory changes to rein in high-frequency trading (HFT), after a report released earlier this year found that the impact of HFT on the Australian market was minimal.
