Algorithmic/algo trading means a sell/buy order gets executed automatically when the predefined levels are met. For example: You have 10 stocks of ABC company bought at ₹10 and you feel the stock will move up to ₹20. In such a case you can put an upper limit to the selling price and execute a trade beforehand. This sets you free from monitoring the stock every minute and executing the trade conveniently. So, definitely it feels like algo trading is the future, but apparently there are many concerns for the regulator regarding the misuse of such automated products especially by retail investors who have a small ticket size (average amount of investment). "This kind of unregulated/unapproved algos pose a risk to the market and can be misused for systematic market manipulation as well as to lure the retail investors by guaranteeing them higher returns. The potential loss in case of failed algo strategy is huge for retail investor [sic],” said SEBI in the consultation paper. Some of the key factors from <keyword id="12710158" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sebi-consultation-paper" source="Orion">SEBI consultation paper</keyword> that indicates it wants to control algo services for retail investors. <ul><li>Stock exchanges — BSE, NSE — should approve all algo trades before execution from stock brokers.</li><li>Stock exchanges need to develop a system to ensure that only those algos which are approved by the exchange and having unique algo ID provided by the exchange are being deployed.</li><li>Brokers shall also deploy suitable technological tools to ensure that appropriate checks are in place to prevent unauthorised altering/tweaking of algos.</li><li>All algos developed by any entity have to run on the servers of broker wherein the broker has control of client orders, order confirmations, margin information etc</li><li>Stock brokers need to have adequate checks in place so that the algo performs in a controlled manner.</li><li>Stock broker is responsible for all algos emanating from its application programming interface (APIs) and redressal of any investor disputes.</li></ul>SEBI has put out the paper to seek comments from various stakeholders including market intermediaries. One of the online broking platforms that offer algo services to investors says that SEBI may want to control the automated process. “SEBI has put [out] a consultation paper with the intent of curbing unregulated algo platforms that promise guaranteed returns. But the way it's planned will mean brokers will have to stop offering APIs. This will be 2 steps back in a tech-first future,” said Nithin Kamath, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of <keyword id="759851" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="zerodha" source="Orion">Zerodha</keyword> in a tweet. Deepak Shenoy, founder and CEO at wealth management firm Capitalmind said the problem isn’t algorithms, it's the way humans are misusing the technology. “The problem wasn’t the algorithm. It did exactly what it was supposed to do. But the human thinking that technology could save the day was exactly what ruined the day. Too many people blindly relied on technology that didn't know how to deal with the compounding effects of its own actions,” said Shenoy. Head of investment platform Dhan — Pravin Jadhav — also shared his views on SEBI’s recommendations saying SEBI is not intending to ban it, but wants more accountability on such trades. “SEBI wants stock exchanges to know which orders are coming from where and how; as a regulator it is a very fair ask [sic]. If you are worried because you are doing something wrong, then you shouldn’t be doing that in the first place,” said Jadhav. SEBI’s growing concerns over misuse of the automated features to trade in stocks is in line with the increasing popularity of algo trading platforms especially for young investors. In the consultation paper, SEBI is asking brokers to get exchange approvals for every algo trade, which is ‘an extremely tedious and complex process’ as per Kamath. Disallowing APIs will just shift investors from using broker APIs to third party automation tools which aren't in the control of the brokers. API establishes an online connection between a data provider (i.e., stock broker) and an end-user (i.e., client).

Nearly a quarter of recently surveyed parents with kids in a summer program said they expect to pay more than $1,000 a month per child this summer. And those costs can balloon well beyond that, with one family spending $6,000 for a three-week sleepaway camp.Further complicating things is most camps don't cover the two-plus months parents need to fill for their kids. The result is sometimes a patchwork system of camps and part-time nannies that parents need to cobble together.Sometimes costs crop up before camp even starts. Parents spend hundreds, or even thousands, on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/parents-spend-hundreds-summer-camp-packing-services-kids-2024-6">packing and prepping their kids before shipping them off</a>.Just about everyone feels the squeeze on their wallets when the temperature rises.An Intuit Credit Karma survey found 61% of parents with children under 18 said it "feels even more expensive to raise kids in the summer months."It's a brutal reality check for parents who thought their days of high childcare costs were behind them when they became DIPS (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/parents-paying-preschool-childcare-costs-new-term-dinks-dips-henry-2024-2">dual income, public school</a>).Instead, some are even going into debt, despite sky-high credit card interest rates, to make it work.<div type="image" title="Illustration of a teddy bear with makeup in front of campgrounds and cabins." height="1500" width="3000" msid="111587547" hostid="261" sizebytes="1234734"></div>Things don't always get easier once kids are at camp, though.This year, skincare products proved to be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sephora-kids-sleepaway-camps-ban-expensive-skincare-beauty-products-2024-6">a lightning rod for kids and parents at elite summer camps</a>, writes BI's Anna Silman.

How to invest as the conflict in Ukraine intensifies: A complete guide to protecting your portfolio as global markets react to Russia's invasion

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Seth Wenig/APTraders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in New York, Monday, Dec. 24, 2018.</div></div></div><ul><li>Stocks edged higher Friday after a dramatic week.</li><li>They remain on track for their worst month since the 1930s.</li><li><a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch the US indexes trade in real time here.</a></li></ul>Stocks rose for a second session Friday as Wall Street attempted to shake off concerns about a government shutdown, trade tensions, and the prospect of slowing growth, which have led to wild market swings in the final week of 2018.The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose nearly 100 points, or 0.4%. The S&amp;P 500 gained 0.4%, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.3%. On Thursday, the major averages made a dramatic comeback to end slightly higher after dropping more than 2% each."All this did, however, was add to what has become a surprisingly volatile end to the trading year, seemingly doing its best to compress 2018's moves into the space of just a few days," said Mike van Dulken, an analyst at Accendo Markets.The final week of the year has been marked by dramatic equity movements and threatened to end the longest bull-market run in history amid worries about rising rates, trade tensions, and the prospect of slowing economic growth around the world. Even after the Dow jumped more than 1,000 points to post its best daily point increase on record and other averages posted their largest percentage gains in nearly a decade on Wednesday, a series of sharp sell-offs have left stocks on track for their worst December since the Great Depression."Unfortunately, we expect to see this sort of intraday volatility remain in place through year-end as large trades make their way through a liquidity-challenged (and algo driven) market," Scott Buchta, a strategist at Brean Capital, said in an email. Turmoil in Washington has added to uncertainty, with the government entering its seventh day of a partial shutdown. Lawmakers on Thursday <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/27/government-shutdown-congress-thursday-1075993">punted</a> a funding dispute that would reopen the federal government to the next Congress, as President Donald Trump doubled down on demands for his long-promised wall along the US's southern border.Perhaps helping the mood, China said it would <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-usa-trade-rice/china-allows-first-ever-us-rice-imports-in-goodwill-gesture-ahead-of-trade-talks-idUSKCN1OR0LB">allow </a>rice imports from the US for the first time. That could thaw tensions between the largest economies ahead of a March deadline for a trade agreement. A day earlier, however, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-huawei-tech-exclusive/exclusive-white-house-mulls-new-year-executive-order-to-bar-huawei-zte-purchases-idUSKCN1OQ09P">Reuters</a> reported Trump is considering an executive order that would ban American companies from using equipment from China's Huawei Technologies and ZTE.On the commodities front, oil prices rose nearly 1%. But they remain deep in a bear market, down more than a third from October highs, with West Texas Intermediate trading at about $45.20 a barrel and Brent just above $52.The dollar slumped 0.3% against a basket of major peers, a day after consumer confidence readings dropped by the most since 2015. Treasury yields, meanwhile, were slightly higher. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/2019-market-outlook-blackrock-kate-moore-on-trade-war-possible-recession-2018-12">The equity chief at $6.3 trillion BlackRock weighs in on the trade war, a possible recession, and offers her best investing advice for a tricky 2019 landscape</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

Stocks are fighting to stave off their the worst December since the Great Depression

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_left float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">REUTERS/Lucas Jackson/Files</div></div></div>The Mumbai-based National Exchange of India (NSE) is having its own <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HVJB4VM/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&amp;btkr=1">"Flash Boys"</a> moment. With 40% of all stock trading volume on the exchange now coming from high frequency and algorithmic transactions, up from low single digits five years ago, rumors abound of collusion and high frequency traders gaining preferential access at the NSE.The Securities &amp; Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is looking into measures to slow down high frequency trading over the next three months, according to its chairman, as reported in the <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/stocks/news/sebi-plans-rules-to-slow-down-high-speed-trading/articleshow/53393667.cms">Economic Times of India</a>."In a discussion paper to be issued in the next month or so, SEBI may propose a sub-second speed bump, a requirement that traders alternate electronic trades with manual ones, and a ban on cancelling algo orders before they are confirmed by the exchange," broker ITG said in a note. "The regulator is also considering rules randomizing orders rather than executing them according to time priority and also a requirement that order book information be made public. SEBI could implement final rules before the end of the year if it decides no further consultation is needed." This is a familiar story. In the US, the Investors Exchange (IEX) was founded by Brad Katsuyama three years ago in response to what it considered questionable trading practices, a saga memorialized in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HVJB4VM/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&amp;btkr=1">Michael Lewis' book "Flash Boys."</a>IEX set out to level the playing field for traders. Strategies include those proposed by SEBI, including the use of a so-called speed bump. After a controversial battle that attracted both praise and criticism across Wall Street, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/iex-gets-sec-approval-2016-6">the SEC approved IEX </a>to run a US stock exchange.It remains to be seen what happens in India, but no one can fault the SEBI for trying to run a fair exchange. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/malcolm-gladwell-revisionist-history-donate-princeton-vassar-bowdoin-tipping-point-outliers-blink-2016-7">MALCOLM GLADWELL: 'Anyone who gives a single dollar to Princeton has completely lost their mind'</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="tlNzV5NDE68LblejgkI-6sByYCuoiDZ7" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
