The Securities and Exchange Commission has postponed a roundtable on market technology issues and measures to ensure stability that was originally set to take place on Friday. Due to scheduling conflicts and a greater-than-anticipated level of interest, the sessions will be pushed up to Thursday, Oct. 2.
The roundtable, to be held at the SEC’s Washington, D.C. headquarters, is open to the public and will be webcast. On the agenda is a discussion on current best practices for creating, deploying, and operating systems used to automatically generate and route orders, match trades, confirm transactions, and disseminate data. An afternoon session will focus on error response, with experts discussing how the market might better deploy independent filters and real-time crisis-management techniques to detect, limit, and terminate erroneous market activities.
