Igor Oystacher

__NOTOC__ 
Igor Oystacher is a founder and head of proprietary trading firm 3Red Partners. He gained notoriety for being accused of spoofing futures markets and the ensuing litigation. A story about his trading and alleged spoofing was the subject of a front page story on the Wall Street Journal.
He is a competitive speed chess player. 
== Background ==
Oystacher was born in Moscow and has dual Russian and American citizenship. 
His career in trading began in 2003 with Gelber Group, LLC, a proprietary trading firm that hired him after he dropped out of Northwestern University. As soon as 2004, traders in the E-S&P Mini were discussing suspicious trading activity that would later be attributed to Oystacher. 
By all accounts Oystacher was successful, becoming the firm's specialist in S&P 500 futures. 
Oystacher left Gelber in 2010 to start his own prop trading group, 3Red Partners, with Edwin Johnson, another trader at Gelber. 
In October 2016, the CFTC brought a civil case against Oystacher and 3Red Partners based off an investigation that began in 2012. The CFTC alleged that he had spoofed futures markets on the S&P 500, copper, natural gass and a volatility index.
Oystacher and his firm settled the case in December 2016 for $2.5 million while neither admitting nor denying wrongdoing. As part of the settlement, Oystacher and 3Red agreed to hire an independent monitor to examine their trading activity for the next three years.. Jim Lundy of Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP was appointed as the independent monitor of Oystacher's trading by Judge Amy J. St. Eve of the U.S. District Court.
During his time trading, Oystacher has been fined for market manipulation by CME Group, ICE and Eurex. In May of 2015, Germany’s Eurex banned Oystacher from "trading for 30 days and fined him a total of €340,000 ($364,656) for two separate instances of spoofing."
Oystacher's trading was analyzed by software vendor Trillium in a 2016 commentary on the spoofing software company's website.

Imperative Execution

Imperative Execution builds automated trading systems (ATS).
Its first product was the IntelligentCross ATS, launched in September 2018. Through a variety of features, IntelligentCross aims to negate the effect of high frequency traders on execution quality. 
== History ==
Imperative Execution was founded by Roman Ginis, a former trader with Cubist Systematic Strategies, the systematic trading arm of Steve Cohen's Point72.
The idea for the venue came to Ginis while a "medium-frequency" trader for Cubist, employing algorithms that held stocks for only a day or two. In his role as a quant trader, Ginis had to deal with the problems posed by slippage, or when execution prices differ from the expected price of a trade, a phenomenon generally experienced when trying to fill large orders. IntelligentCross is designed to mitigate such slippage.
In 2017, the firm raised $5 million in seed funding from five investors. In December 2018, Imperative announced it raised $9 million in Series A financing.

Impersonation Schemes Fraud

Impersonation schemes fraud is a type of deception where criminals pose as legitimate organizations, individuals, or businesses to trick victims into disclosing personal information or transferring money. These schemes exploit the trust people place in recognized entities and can take various forms, ranging from impersonating government agencies to mimicking legitimate investment professionals.
== Common Types of Impersonation Schemes ==
# Government Agency Impersonation: Fraudsters may pose as representatives from agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or other regulatory bodies.
# Financial Professional Impersonation: Scammers impersonate registered brokers or investment advisers to gain trust and access to victims' finances.
# Business Impersonation: Criminals create fake websites, social media accounts, or advertisements that mimic legitimate businesses.
# Celebrity Impersonation: Scammers pose as well-known figures, often on social media platforms, to promote fraudulent investment opportunities.
== Tactics Used in Impersonation Schemes ==
Impersonators employ various methods to appear legitimate and convince victims:
# Creating Fake Websites: Scammers design websites that closely resemble those of genuine organizations.
# Using Official-Looking Documents: Fraudsters may forge registration documents or public reports to establish credibility.
# Exploiting Social Media: Impersonators use social media platforms to reach potential victims and promote scams.
# Employing High-Pressure Sales Tactics: Scammers often use aggressive techniques to push victims into making quick decisions.
== Red Flags of Impersonation Schemes ==
Several warning signs can help identify potential impersonation schemes:
* Unsolicited contact from supposed financial professionals or government agencies.
* Requests for personal information or financial details through unofficial channels.
* Promises of high investment returns with little or no risk.
* Pressure to act quickly or make immediate financial decisions.
* Inconsistencies in communication methods or contact information.
== Impact and Prevalence ==
Impersonation schemes can result in significant financial losses for victims and damage the reputation of legitimate entities. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in such frauds, with the Federal Trade Commission reporting 12,491 cases of government impersonation fraud and 8,794 cases of business impersonation fraud related to COVID-19.
== Prevention and Protection ==
To guard against impersonation schemes, individuals and businesses can take several precautions:
* Verify the identity of contacts claiming to be from official organizations.
* Use official channels to confirm the legitimacy of investment opportunities or requests for information.
* Be cautious of unsolicited communications, especially those requesting personal or financial information.
* Regularly monitor financial accounts and credit reports for suspicious activity.
* Report suspected impersonation schemes to relevant authorities, such as the SEC or Federal Trade Commission.

Implied spreads

Matching engine implied spreads marry the liquidity of the outright months/strikes with the liquidity of the spreads to achieve the tightest markets in both with the greatest depth. There are two types of implied spreads, in and out. 
Implied in spreads create a spread order from two outright orders, implied out is the opposite, an existing spread is combined with an outright to create an order in the other outright.
Some market participants profess that all match engine level implied spread functionality should be enabled for all markets as it harnesses technology to keep markets in line and maximizes trading opportunity and executed trades. Other market participants argue that market participants, not the match engine, should be the only mechanism used to keep markets in line, they argue that arbitrage will occur and keep markets in line.

Implied volatility

Implied volatility is a theoretical value designed to represent the expected annualized fluctuation ("volatility") of a security, by looking at the prices of options contracts that underlie the security. It is the market's prediction of future volatility. It can be seen as the difference between an option's theoretical price -- as calculated based on the current price of the security, the option's strike (contract) price, time to expiration and other known variables -- and the option's actual trading price.
In equity markets, implied volatility tends to increase when the market is bearish and decrease when the market is bullish, because bearish markets are seen as more risky. 
==Calculating Implied Volatility==
Calculating implied volatility requires the use of an options pricing model such as the Black-Scholes Model:
 
The formula basically states that the theoretical value of a call option (C) is worth a fraction of the price of the underlying security - a stock, a futures contract, a bond, etc. - based on five factors:
* the current price of the security (S)
* the exercise price (or "strike price" of the option (K)
* the risk-free rate of return (r) (if the underlying security is a stock, stock index or other dividend-paying security, the rate also includes an adjustment for dividends paid during the life of the option)
* the time left until the option's expiration (T)
* the annualized standard deviation of the security (σ) - essentially a measure of the security's price fluctuations over a year's time or its volatility.
Since we know all of these variables, except its volatility, and we know where the call option is currently valued by the marketplace, we can plug the current call price, current security price, the strike price, interest rate and time to expiration into the formula and solve for σ.
This is the level of volatility implied by the market or its "implied volatility."
==VIX==
One of the most widely recognized uses of implied volatility is the CBOE Volatility Index, or "VIX." 
The VIX, introduced in 1993, measures the market’s expectation of future volatility implied by a basket of options on the S&P 500 stock index (SPX). In other words, VIX Index uses options pricing as a way to measure perceived market risk and uncertainty. The VIX Index is a 30-day risk forecast of stock market volatility and typically has an inverse relationship with the S&P benchmark as it tracks option prices that investors are willing to pay as a protection on the underlying stocks.

Independent Commission on Banking

The Independent Commission on Banking (ICB, also known as the "Vickers Commission") is a five-member panel appointed by the U.K. government in 2010. The commission, which is chaired by former Chief Economist of the Bank of England Sir John Vickers, issued its final report and recommendations on September 12, 2011. 
==Summary==
The ICB recommends that banks "ringfence," or separate retail banking operations from trading and investment banking activities. Ringfenced operations would be required to have a separate board of directors, and a 10 percent equity capital reserve. Among the goals and recommendations in the 363-page report:
*the emergence of a competitor to the "Big Four" British banks - Lloyds, Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC, and Barclays;
*a "firewall" between a bank's retail and investment banking operations, with stricter capital reserve requirements than those of Basel III;
*elimination of the implicit guarantee that taxpayers will bail out failed banks, which tended to "unduly encourage risk-taking by banks; and 
*regulations to improve competition and choice "to the benefit of consumers."
