Algo trading avenue likely to open up for small investors soon

In a consultation paper floated on Friday, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) suggested making algo trading available to retail investors through licensed brokers, who will register clients' algorithms with exchanges, ensure compliance with rules, and watch for irregularities.

In 2012, Sebi opened algorithmic trading for institutional investors through its Direct Market Access (DMA) facility. Its latest proposal aims to bring benefits such as faster order execution, reduced transaction costs, greater transparency, better audit trails and improved liquidity to retail investors as well. Sebi proposed that these algorithms may be extended to an investor's immediate family, including spouse, dependent children and parents.
