Yesterday the CFTC announced that it is set to increase oversight of algorithmic trading , in part because it now accounts for 80 % of natural gas contract trading . "Algorithmic trading has dramatically increased in our markets, and that changes the way we regulate, changes the way we do surveillance," Massad said after a speech focused on CFTC's actions in the five years since the Dodd-Frank financial reform law was enacted on 21 July 2010. The potential increase will cover the need for registration of trades , tightening pre - trade controls to cut faulty - line trading , and " setting standards for the development , use and monitoring of trading algorithms . "
