SEBI recommends a framework to regulate Algo Trading 🏛

On Dec 9th, 2021, SEBI released a consultation paper to receive comments & views on regulating Algo trading & unauthorized algo providers.

SEBI recommendations can be classified into three buckets:

Know your Algo

  • The stockbroker needs to take the approval for all algos from the stock exchange. Each algo strategy has to be certified by Information Systems Auditor (CISA)/ Diploma in Information System Audit (DISA) auditors.

  • Once these algos are certified, they will be given a unique algo ID. Exchanges will only allow certified algos to execute.

Protect the retail investor

  • There are many unregulated & unauthorized third-party algo providers. They are luring investors with high & guaranteed returns. They should be regulated.

  • Their services should be bought under the nature of investment advisory services (SEBI RIA & RA).

Instructions for the brokers & exchanges

  • All brokers should take permission from stock exchanges to provide algo trading.

  • The stockbrokers should implement checks & balances like price range, quantity check, order value check, cumulative open order value, etc.

  • The stock exchange shall identify the dysfunctional algos and advice brokers to shut them down.

  • All orders emanating from an API should be treated as an algo order.

India’s largest stockbroker isn’t pleased. Nithin Kamath of Zerodha, in his blog post, said, “*The broker will now have to get exchange approvals for any algo—an extremely tedious and complex process”. *He also mentioned that implementing this will push all brokers to stop offering APIs, which isn’t a good step in this technology-driven world.

Currently, this is a consultation paper, and SEBI has invited views & comments. We expect things to evolve.
