Commissioner Chilton disclosed calling on his colleagues to require cheetahs to be registered. “All speed traders, HFTs, whatever we want to call them, should be registered next year,” he said. In explaining why he thinks registration is urgently needed, Commissioner Chilton said: “The third largest trader by volume on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is a cheetah based in Prague. That is fine, but shouldn't we know who runs these cheetah firms? Don't we want to know where they are located? After all, we have seen many examples of potential financial terrorism. We've seen hackers get into mainframes from NYSE to Citi to the U.S. Senate. Registration would add a bare minimum of information on cheetahs for regulators. Registration and related due diligence of cheetahs is a step that makes common sense.” The Speed Traders, published by McGraw-Hill Inc., available online at amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, BORDERS, and INDIEBOUND, among multiple bookstores, is the most comprehensive, revealing work available on the most important development in trading in generations.
