Cevap

Churning matches excessive trading to generate commissions; Capping matches placing sell orders to keep a security's price below a target level; Marking the Open matches placing orders at or before market open to influence initial price; Prearranged Trading matches collaborating traders agreeing on execution details beforehand.
Churning is characterized by excessive trading in a discretionary customer account to generate commissions. Capping is entering sell orders to suppress the price of an equity security below a certain level (often used by options writers). Marking the Open involves submitting orders specifically timed to influence the opening price. Prearranged trading is collusive trading where buy and sell orders are coordinated ahead of execution between participants.
