While this trading approach has been largely used by institutions and proprietary traders, retail traders have also started adopting algo trading due to increased market access and technological advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.8;text-align:justify\">Given the rising popularity of algo trading among retail investors, SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) released a consultation paper proposing a framework to regulate retail participation in algo trading. This paper outlines steps to enhance transparency, reduce risks, and prevent market disruptions caused by unregulated or poorly coded algos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:1.6;color:#777\">This article describes a SEBI consultation paper and was published on 16 December 2024.
