We, the trials, the new rules to prevent the repetition of "flash crash".

Under U.S. regulator of the Securities and Exchange Commission plans, stock trades will be limited to a group on each side of the average price of the share during the last five minutes.

Bush hopes that it will be a more sophisticated tool that the current so-called "circuit breakers". These automatically stop operations a hand for five minutes if it moves more than 10pc in five minutes and were laid shortly after the fall of last May.

May 6 event was triggered after a typical decline of an index of future shares of unexpectedly a wave of sales of computerized business models which, in turn, led a race for the output of other investors. In all, $862bn (£ 527bn) was wiped off the value of the US stock markets.

"These rules, good or bad, will bring the confidence of investors to the market," said Larry Peruzzi, a trade of fairness to Cabrera Capital Markets.

The new rules will also see a share suspended for five minutes, if it cannot trade within the price band designated for more than 15 seconds. The SEC said that the group will be expanded in the minutes immediately after the market opens and the closing minutes each day.
