Trade rotation
Trade rotation is the documented order in which accounts or groups are traded when the same decision affects many portfolios and cannot be executed simultaneously.
Without a rotation policy, whoever gets traded first systematically receives a different price from whoever gets traded last — and over time that difference is not random.
Examiners look for a policy, evidence it was followed, and evidence that no group is consistently advantaged.
