Cevap

1. Non-bonafide canceled orders match Spoofing. 2. Trading near session end to affect closing price matches Marking the Close. 3. Selling unpaid cash account purchases matches Freeriding. 4. Trading ahead of an unexecuted customer block order matches Front-Running.
Each trade practice corresponds directly to its FINRA and SEC regulatory definition: entering phantom orders to deceive market depth is Spoofing; manipulating final daily valuation prices is Marking the Close; settling purchases using sale proceeds prior to cash settlement is Freeriding; and trading proprietary accounts ahead of pending customer orders is Front-Running.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the scenario involving non-bonafide orders intended to be canceled before execution.
Identify this practice as Spoofing.
Spoofing creates illusory liquidity or depth in the order book without a genuine intent to trade.
2
Analyze the scenario involving trades executed near market close.
Identify this practice as Marking the Close.
Executing transactions near session close to impact published closing prices violates anti-manipulation rules.
3
Analyze the scenario involving buying and selling securities in a cash account without paying upfront.
Identify this practice as Freeriding.
Federal Reserve Regulation T prohibits paying for a security purchase using the proceeds from selling that same security.
4
Analyze the scenario involving trading proprietary orders ahead of pending customer block orders.
Identify this practice as Front-Running.
FINRA Rule 5270 explicitly prohibits taking advantage of material non-public customer block order information for proprietary gain.
