Henry W. Rogers Jr.

__NOTOC__ 
Henry W. Rogers Jr. was a prominent figure in Chicago's grain trade and served as president of the Chicago Board of Trade in 1881. He was a key member of the Board for over half a century, contributing significantly to its growth and development.
== Early Life and Career ==
Henry William Rogers was born on March 27, 1832, in Bath, Steuben County, New York. His parents were Gustavus A. and Susan Ann (Campbell) Rogers, from families with colonial American roots. After receiving a common school education, Rogers began his business career as a ship chandler in Buffalo, New York, where he operated until 1860.
=== Move to Chicago and Board of Trade ===
After a brief period as a merchant in Clinton, Iowa, Rogers moved to Chicago in 1862. He quickly established himself in the grain commission trade and became one of the early members of the Chicago Board of Trade. In 1863, he founded the grain commission firm of H. W. Rogers & Brother with his younger brother, James Campbell Rogers.

Throughout his long career, Rogers played a crucial role in the development of the Chicago Board of Trade. His tenure as president in 1881 came at a time when the Board was solidifying its position as a central institution in the U.S. grain trade. Rogers' leadership contributed to the Board's growth from a relatively small organization to the world's preeminent grain exchange.
=== Civic Engagement ===
Beyond his business activities, Rogers was involved in Chicago's civic affairs. He served for several years on the board of directors of the Chicago Public Library. Politically, he was aligned with the Democratic Party, though he never sought public office.

Hidden Pegs

Hidden Pegs are a type of order execution strategy used in foreign exchange (FX) trading and other financial markets. This order type allows traders to place large orders without fully revealing their trading intentions to the market, thereby potentially reducing market impact and improving execution quality.
== Functionality ==
A Hidden Peg order is designed to automatically adjust its price in relation to a specified reference price, typically the best bid or offer in the market. The key feature of this order type is that only a portion of the total order quantity is visible to other market participants, while the rest remains hidden.
== Types of Hidden Pegs ==
There are several variations of Hidden Peg orders, including:
* Primary Peg: Pegged to the same side of the market as the order (e.g., buy orders pegged to the bid). 
* Market Peg: Pegged to the opposite side of the market (e.g., buy orders pegged to the offer). 
* Midpoint Peg: Pegged to the midpoint between the best bid and offer.
== Usage in FX Markets ==
In the FX market, Hidden Peg orders are particularly useful for large institutional traders who need to execute substantial orders without significantly impacting market prices. These orders help manage the trade-off between market impact and execution risk in fragmented and highly liquid markets.
== Benefits and Considerations ==
=== Benefits ===
* Reduced market impact
* Improved execution quality
* Enhanced anonymity for large orders
 
=== Considerations ===
* Potential for partial executions
* Complexity in order management
* Regulatory scrutiny regarding market transparency
== Regulatory Aspects ==
The use of Hidden Peg orders is subject to regulatory oversight to ensure fair and transparent markets. Regulators may impose restrictions on the use of hidden orders to maintain market integrity and prevent potential abuse.

Hidden Road

Hidden Road Partners is a prime brokerage focused on digital assets and foreign exchange. 
The firm allows banks or other institutions that can't hold digital assets directly to post dollars as collateral in a “tri-party” setup with a custodian, and receive profits and losses in dollars. Clients can trade with exchanges as well as liquidity providers including Virtu Financial Inc., Optiver BV and Wintermute Trading Ltd.
Hidden Road provides clearing and financing for customers’ trading activities, but clients have to execute those trades themselves, according to Justin Chow, the firm's head of digital assets. It raises capital from investors such as pension funds and pays them a return on capital, which it generates by providing financing to clients for their trading activities. Hidden Road itself mitigates risks by using a real-time system, which sets risk limits and requires portions of collateral upfront.
The company said it plans to enter futures and options clearing.
== History ==
Hidden Road was founded in 2018 by Marc Asch, formerly with SAC Capital and Point72 Asset Management. The firm started with foreign-exchange services and then expanded into digital assets. It is based in the British Virgin Islands and named after the street in Massachusetts where Asch grew up. 
In July 2022, Hidden Road completed a $50 million Series A funding round led by Castle Island Ventures, with participation from Citadel Securities, FTX Ventures, Uncorrelated Ventures, Greycroft, XBTO Humla Ventures, Wintermute, SLN Capital, Profluent Trading, Coinbase Ventures and Corner Capital, among other global investors. At the end of August 2022 executives at the firm said it was in discussions with hedge funds and many of the top 20 global banks about providing access to trade or hedge their crypto risks.

High-touch Trading

High-touch trading is a term used to denote market trades made with people doing the decision making and executing the order, as opposed to a "low-touch" method where a computer algorithm decides what and when to trade and executes the order.
High-touch trading was the norm for trading but slowly lost favor as markets moved to electronic trading. Low-touch methods were faster and less expensive than having a person in the loop.
Nevertheless, high-touch trading never entirely went away and has recently (2020) regained some of its popularity among some traders.
