Shortly, the German High Frequency Trading Bill (“Hochfrequenzhandelsgesetz”) will come into force. The Bill contains various requirements for market participants and market operators with respect to on-exchange trading.
It is planned to implement the deliverables of the technical prerequisites of all three requirements of the High Frequency Trading Bill in the fourth quarter of 2013. The required adjustments of the rules and regulations will be made at the same time. We will keep our participants informed continuously about the state of the concepts and their implementation.
This circular contains further information on the implementation of the Bill.
