- (1888PressRelease) February 09, 2013 - (New York) Not everyone agrees that using high-speed machines to trade stocks in less time than it takes the average person to blink is a bad thing, but the people who do might be heartened by the letter a congressman sent the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday. Reuters reports that Rep. Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat who has waged a decades-long struggle against computerized trading sent the SEC a hint: The power to curb high-frequency trading has been within its grasp all along.
In his letter, Markey described a law he co-sponsored in 1989 to increase the agency's power to regulate computerized trading, a precursor to HFT that employed computer programs to make trading decisions without the participation of conscious humans. The law lets the SEC "limit practices which result in extraordinary levels of volatility," according to Markey's citation. Markey, nudging further, added: "If the commission simply makes a finding that the markets are currently in a period of extraordinary market volatility and that HFT is reasonably certain to engender such levels of volatility, the Commission can immediately promulgate rules that restrict or eliminate the practice."
Do current market conditions warrant this? The answer, which might surprise congressman Markey, is presented by Mr. Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders, in The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 DVD Video Package: How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX (http://TheSpeedTradersWorkshopDVD.eventbrite.com), the world's most comprehensive review of high frequency trading now available for the very first time on DVD in an insightful 4-disc set:
