Through the management and supervision of online securities trading services, the State Securities Commission has found that there is a phenomenon of using robot technology to place automatic online securities trading orders with high frequency. This activity has many potential risks and affects the stability of the stock market.

The State Securities Commission requires securities companies to stop using automatic order placement.

In the latest announcement of the State Securities Commission, this agency has requested securities companies to review and immediately stop using the form of automatic order placement; at the same time, take technical measures to prevent the form of automatic order placement and request investors to stop using the above form without permission from the management agency.

According to the State Securities Commission, the phenomenon of using robot technology to automatically place online stock trading orders poses many risks and affects the stability of the stock market.

Specifically, automatic order placement causes a sudden increase in orders from securities companies to the Stock Exchange at the same time, leading to the number of orders entering the floor exceeding the design capacity of the entire system, causing system overload. At the same time, this activity leads to the risk of chain breakdown when the market develops badly, thereby negatively affecting the risk management of securities companies.

Accordingly, the State Securities Commission requires securities companies to seriously implement and take full responsibility before the law for the above issues.
