Specifically, MiFID II introduces a number of changes that are relevant to organizations that use algorithmic and high-frequency trading (HFT) strategies. Clearly, the regulator recognizes the growth of these strategies, and while well-disposed to their use, it acknowledges the potential risk they pose, which could lead to disorderly markets.
High frequency and algorithmic trading obligations MiFID II and MiFIR introduce closer regulation and monitoring of algorithmic trading, imposing new and detailed requirements on algorithmic traders (in certain cases, even where they are exempt from authorization under MiFID II) and the trading venues on which they trade. On 3 January 2018, EU regulators began enforcing stringent requirements for firms using algorithmic trading strategies and trading systems under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II), which are detailed in Regulatory Technical Standard 6 (RTS 6). Neither algorithmic nor high-frequency trading (HFT) fell within the scope of MiFID I.

High frequency trading: MiFID MiFID II will introduce specific provisions to ensure that high frequency trading (HFT) does not have an adverse effect on market quality or integrity. The details of the provisions will be determined through ‘Level 2’ implementing measures. A subset of this, as defined in MiFID II, is High Frequency Trading (HFT) which employs technologies, such as colocation, which involves placing servers as close as possible to the exchanges, and high speed networks which allow trading at very high speeds and take advantage of very small windows of opportunity.
