Ok, I have to flag this. First, the article is from September. Second, the headline is incorrect. Third, this has nothing to do with banning HFT, instead it discusses a ban on a particular practice that many exchanges undertake. Flash orders are orders that are presented to a select few market participants before they are presented to the general market. In return, those market participants keep the order flow within one specific market. Banning flash orders will not ban HFT. It might cause certain HFT to retire certain models and come up with new ones, but that's about it.
