The CFTC will begin to tackle automated and algorithmic trading by proposing rules meant to help regulators keep increasing computerized activity from inundating markets. Commissioners meet Tuesday to consider rules for markets in which almost all trading is electronic in some form and automated activity has come to account for more than 70 percent of all activity in recent years. Read the CFTC meeting notice here.
