From the directive and its technical standards. The own account exemption that would otherwise cover a person trading their own money is withdrawn from anyone who is a venue member or participant, who makes markets, or who applies a high frequency algorithmic trading technique, and the first limb of that definition covers high speed direct electronic access.

The testing, kill functionality and annual self assessment duties apply to investment firms. A retail client trading an automated strategy through a broker meets them indirectly, through the direct electronic access rules the broker must apply to that client.
