Knight's average daily trades rose to 1.8 million from 1.1 million, while the number of shares in the average trading day fell to 3.3 billion from 4 billion last year.

"We witnessed sporadic increases in volume uncorrelated to volatility which we attribute to deleveraging," Chairman and Chief Executive Thomas Joyce said in a statement.
