Rogue Trader

A rogue trader is a trader who acts independently, often outside the regulations or ethical boundaries of their financial institution. They engage in risky or unauthorized trading activities, potentially incurring significant losses or manipulating markets for personal gain. This behavior can lead to severe consequences for the individual and their organization, including financial devastation and legal repercussions. Rogue trading is typically a violation of company policy, and it highlights the importance of oversight and risk management in financial markets to prevent unethical practices and protect investors’ interests.
