WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) — U.S. traders, clearing
firms and exchanges could reduce the risk of a runaway computer
program roiling markets by
using controls, such as kill
buttons, an advisory panel to the U.S. futures regulator said
on Tuesday.
After the May 6 «flash crash,» where a large trade executed
by an algorithm contributed to a sudden 700-point plunge in the
Dow Jones industrial average, regulators, including the U.S.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission, have been under pressure
to step up oversight of the trades.
Five members of the CFTC's technology committee,
representing exchanges, brokerage firms and academia, proposed
a framework of multiple, redundant checks to offer «robust
protection» to markets — information the CFTC will consider as
it crafts
regulation for testing and supervising algorithmic
trading.
«By raising the standards and establishing best practices,
we can ensure that all participants are treated equally and
ensure that the markets are protected from untested algorithms
that could undermine well functioning markets,» said Scott
O'Malia, the CFTC commissioner who leads the agency's
technology advisory committee.
