9 Algorithmic Trading e F inance Buy Side institutional Broker Algorithmic trading is - a trading service - that enables order submissions - without human intervention based on predefined quantitative models Historical Data Quantitative Models Algorithmic Trading Engine Real-time Data The algorithms determine the splitting and timing of orders on the basis of predefined parameters using historic and real-time market data. Algorithmic trading is referred to both a proprietary trading tool of brokers ECNs MTFs Exchanges and a service provided to buy-side customers by brokers.

21 Assessment of the role of trading technology in financial markets by the European Commission Draft MiFID II (recital 46): The use of trading technology has increased the speed, capacity and complexity of how investors trade. [ ] Trading technology has provided benefits to the market and market participants generally such as wider participation in markets, increased liquidity, narrower spreads, reduced short term volatility and the means to obtain better execution of orders for clients. Yet, it also gives rise to a number of potential risks such as increased risk of overloading systems of trading venues due to large volumes of orders, risks of algorithmic trading generating duplicative or erroneous orders or otherwise malfunctioning in a way that may create a disorderly market risk of algorithmic trading systems overreacting to other market events which can exacerbate volatility if there is a pre-existing market problem. Finally, algo/high frequency trading can lend itself to forms of abusive behaviour if misused. (European Commission, 2011)
22 Introduction of a definition of Algorithmic Trading / HFT in Art. 4 MiFID Draft MiFID II (Art. 4 par. 2 (30)): "Algorithmic trading" means trading in financial instruments where a computer algorithm automatically determines individual parameters of orders such as whether to initiate the order, the timing, price or quantity of the order or how to manage the order after its submission, with limited or no human intervention. Draft MiFID II (recital 44): A specific subset of algorithmic trading is high frequency trading where a trading system analyses data or signals from the market at high speed and then sends or updates large numbers of orders within a very short time period in response to that analysis. High frequency trading is typically done by the traders using their own capital to trade and rather than being a strategy in itself is usually the use of sophisticated technology to implement more traditional trading strategies such as market making or arbitrage. (European Commission, 2011)
23 Proposals for Algo Trading / HFT (I) - MiFID II scope - Bringing Algo Trading / HFT under the scope of MiFID In MIFID I set-up, even if an Algo Trader / HFT is involved in significant amount of trading, he may not be subject to MiFID requirements and supervision by a CA due to exceptions in MiFID I (Art. 2, par. 1 (d)) on licensing for dealing on own account Proposal of the EC in Draft MiFID II (Art. 2, par. 1 (d)) : This Directive shall not apply to:. (d) persons who do not provide any investment services or activities other than dealing on own account unless they: (i) are market makers (ii) are a member of or a participant in a regulated market or MTF; or (iii) deal on own account by executing client orders In contrary to public consultation (October, 2010), no specified minimum quantitative threshold is applied
24 Proposals for Algo Trading / HFT (II) - Organisational requirements for investment firms - New specific organisational requirements introduced in MiFID II (Art. 17) for investment firms : Effective systems and risk controls to ensure that trading systems are resilient and have sufficient capacity are subject to appropriate trading thresholds and limits prevent the sending of erroneous orders prevent the system otherwise functioning in a way that may create or contribute to a disorderly market Information provision to competent authority (at least annually) on description of the nature of its algorithmic trading strategies details of the trading parameters or limits to which the system is subject key compliance and risk controls that it has in place details of the testing of its systems Liquidity provision i. e. Algorithmic trading strategy shall be in continuous operation during the trading hours of the trading venue to which it sends orders or through the systems of which it executes transactions ensure that the strategy posts firm quotes at competitive prices with the result of providing liquidity on a regular and ongoing basis to these trading venues at all times, regardless of prevailing market conditions
25 Proposals for Algo Trading / HFT (III) - Organisational requirements for trading venues - New specific organisational requirements introduced in MiFID II (Art. 19, 20, 51) require trading venues to have in place effective systems, procedures and arrangements to ensure System resiliency, i.e. its trading systems have sufficient capacity to deal with peak order and message volumes, are able to ensure orderly trading under conditions of market stress, are fully tested to ensure such conditions are met and are subject to effective business continuity arrangements Adequate handling of errors and of extreme price movements, i.e. reject orders that exceed pre-determined volume and price thresholds reject orders that are clearly erroneous and to be able to temporarily halt trading if there is a significant price movement on that market or a related market during a short period and in exceptional cases, to be able to cancel, vary or correct any transaction Adequate handling of electronic trading systems, i.e. that Algo systems cannot create or contribute to disorderly trading conditions to have systems to limit the ratio of unexecuted orders to transactions being able to slow down the order flow if system capacity might be reached to be able to limit the minimum tick size on the market rules on co-location and fee structures to be transparent, fair and non-discriminatory.
26 EU Parliament s March 2012 First Reading Key Amendment Proposals Algo / HFT HFT explicit definition: trading at speeds where the physical latency of the mechanism for transmitting, cancelling or modifying orders becomes the determining factor in the time taken to communicate the instruction to a trading venue or to execute a transaction; HFT-strategies' explicit definition based on four of these characteristics: (i) it uses co-location facilities; (ii) it relates to a daily portfolio turnover of at least 50 %; (iii) the ratio of orders to trades exceeds 4:1 (iv) the proportion of orders cancelled exceeds 20 %; (v) the majority of positions taken are unwound within the same day; (vi) over 50 % of the orders or transactions are made on trading venues offering discounts or rebates to orders which provide liquidity are eligible for such rebates; Liquidity provision requirement only for firms that engage in high-frequency trading strategies Regulated markets to have effective systems, procedures and arrangements in place to ensure that all orders entered into the system by a member or participant are valid for a minimum of 500 milliseconds. Regulated markets to impose a higher fee for placing an order that is subsequently cancelled than an order which is executed and higher fee on participants placing a high ratio of cancelled orders to executed. Regulated Market allowed to adjust its fees for cancelled orders according to the length of time for which the order was maintained. Fee structures should not create incentives for disorderly trading conditions or market abuse. End the practice of direct electronic access to ensure that market participants can be identified and held accountable for any disorderly conditions for which they are responsible.
27 While MiFID II while not have to be applied before 2014, ESMA Guidelines on HFT are applicable since May, 2012 Guidelines: Systems and controls in an automated trading environment for trading platforms, investment firms and competent authorities Guideline 1 and 2 Organisational requirements (OrgReq) for regulated markets, multilateral trading facilities and investment firms electronic trading systems (including trading algorithms) Guideline 3 and 4 OrgReq for regulated markets, multilateral trading facilities and investment firms to promote fair and orderly trading in an automated trading environment Guideline 5 and 6 OrgReq for regulated markets, multilateral trading facilities and investment firms to prevent market abuse (in particular market manipulation) in an automated trading environment Guideline 7 and 8 OrgReq for regulated markets and multilateral trading facilities whose members/participants and users provide direct market access/sponsored access and OrgReq for investment firms that provide direct market access and/or sponsored access
28 A look into the future of Electronic Trading The front office of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment 28
