Uncovered Options Trading System
Bucketing: Bucketing is directly or indirectly taking the opposite side of a customer's order into a broker's own account or into an account in which a broker has an interest, without open and competitive execution of the order on an exchange. Also called trading against.
Cross Trading: Cross Trading is offsetting or non-competitive match of the buy order of one customer against the sell order of another, a practice that is permissible only when executed in accordance with the Commodity Exchange Act, CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) rules, and rules of the exchange.
Wash Trading: Wash Trading occurs when entering into, or purporting to enter into, transactions to give the appearance that purchases and sales have been made, without incurring market risk or changing the trader's market position. The Commodity Exchange Act prohibits wash trading. Also called Round Trip Trading, Wash Sales.
