I believe, as an individual Investor, that this new rule allowing for 24/7/365 trading for a completely automated system will bring much more harm to the markets than it will provide good. It seems that the current system is unable to provide the necessary regulations that keep FTD's and other loopholes from being used excessively and without prejudice. Allowing market makers to trade wildly in a market that that's control over individual Investors retirements and pensions will have profound negative affects. This is taking away even more security form the household investors and placing their futures into the hands of corporate overlords that will squeeze every penny from the individual Investor while simultaneously gaslighting them into thinking the entire market is perfectly fine and working entirely in order.  

I seriously urge you to now allow this rule to go though.  

Please do what is right and protect the household investor!
