Which of Martin’s suggestions will most likely be effective in limiting the systemic risk introduced by his algorithm?
选项:
A. Only Suggestion 1
B. Only Suggestion 2
C. Both Suggestion 1 and Suggestion 2
解释:
C is correct. Both suggestions will likely be effective in minimizing the systemic risk introduced by electronic trading. First, exhaustive testing of the algorithm prior to its launch can minimize risk relating to programming errors, which could result in an extreme market reaction that could trigger an even more extreme market reaction. Second, imposing mandatory trade halts in case of large price changes (outside a given threshold) would limit potential undesired results and help minimize systemic risk.
