Cevap

Churning matches excessive trading to generate commissions; Freeriding matches selling purchased securities before paying for them; Marking the Close matches executing trades near market close to influence final price; Capping matches entering sell orders to prevent price from rising.
Each prohibited practice corresponds directly to its established regulatory definition under FINRA and SEC rules. Churning targets commission abuse by representatives; Freeriding violates payment requirements under Regulation T; Marking the Close artificially inflates or suppresses closing prints; and Capping places sell volume to prevent upward price movement.
