HFT Rules: Three Part HFT Harmony High Frequency Trading (HFT) has been in the financial press a lot over the past several years. From the Flash Crash of 2010 to the collapse of Knight Capital in 2012, trading glitches and the negative impact of HFT on markets and investor confidence is well-documented. In this segment of the Restoring Customer Confidence series, Mayer Brown attorney Zachary Ziliak outlines the three sources that will address HFT and help restore customer confidence.

The orders issued by the US Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on Monday against JPMorgan Chase may well disappoint the public.

CBOE holds its own in 2012
by Sarah Rudolph – JLN
William Brodsky has chosen an auspicious time to step down from his role as the Chicago Board Options Exchange’s CEO and become executive chairman of the board. The CBOE has seen steady growth in trading volumes from 2000-2011; average daily volume was down seven percent in 2012, but that was after the exchange hit a record high in 2011, and the 2012 number was an increase over 2010.
“We had a good year in what was a relatively bad year for the financial industry,” Brodsky told a group of reporters at a press lunch Tuesday.
He also said the secular trend of options market growth was “unmistakable.”
“When I left New York City to go to Chicago, people thought I’d lost my mind – going from a stock exchange to a derivatives exchange,” he said. And now, derivatives have become so important that the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), which didn’t exist 15 years ago, is focusing on opportunities in the derivatives markets in its merger with NYSE Euronext. (ICE’s CEO Jeffrey Sprecher said as much in an interview with Maria Bartiromo on CNBC.)
Brodsky also said that the ICE deal would not change the competitive field for the CBOE.
“We’ve been competing with NYSE Arca and NYSE Amex for years,” he said. “The deal has dramatic consequences for clearing, equity markets, and the smaller exchanges in Europe. But our situation is the same as it has always been.”
