In a landmark decision, global financial regulators—including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)—have officially approved TrustStrategy’s upgraded AI trading algorithm, reinforcing its compliance with stringent market safety protocols. The November 2023 endorsement signals a major step forward in regulatory acceptance of AI-driven trading systems, ensuring both innovation and investor protection.

Why This Regulatory Approval Matters

Algorithmic trading has faced scrutiny over potential risks like market manipulation, flash crashes, and unfair latency arbitrage. TrustStrategy’s latest AI update directly addresses these concerns with:

• Enhanced Market Surveillance: Real-time detection of anomalous trading patterns.

• Dynamic Risk Controls: Auto-throttling during extreme volatility.

• Transparent Audit Trails: Full compliance with MiFID II, SEC Rule 15c3-5, and CFTC guidelines.

Key Improvements in the Approved Algorithm
