  • CFTC Commissioner Scott O’Malia’s Statement Of Concurrence Regarding Concept Release On Risk Controls And System Safeguards For Automated Trading Environments

    Date 09/09/2013

    During my time at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“Commission”), I have consistently emphasized that the Commission must have a strong understanding of today’s highly automated and interconnected trading environments in order to oversee its markets effectively. As head of the Commission’s Technology Advisory Committee (“TAC”), I have committed considerable TAC time and resources to strengthening our understanding of automated markets. I am grateful for all the hard work of the TAC members as well as the efforts of the members of the Subcommittee on Data Standardization and the Subcommittee on Automated and High Frequency Trading, who have devoted hours of work on issues related to automated trading systems and pre-trade functionality. I hope that this Concept Release, and in particular the public comments the Commission receives in response, will build on this work.
