Closed Ban robotic trading of stocks, shares or financial derivatives

Closed on

Robotic/algorithmic trading of stocks, shares and financial derivatives are used by big corporates to steal money from retail investors.

Big banks and institutions should not be allowed do use automatic trading which could cause flash crash in the markets eventually stealing money from weak hands of retail investors. Such trading should be banned. Markets would be less volatile and retail investors feel more secured to invest in such a situation.
