"Rat trading"—"front-running" in the U.S.—is a typical criminal behaviour in the securities market. To better reduce the emergence of "rat trading" behaviour, this paper expounds on the essence of "rat trading" behaviour through theoretical analysis. It highlights the defects in the current "rat trading" behaviour management. Because of the existing flaws, this paper puts forward solutions for the reference of relevant personnel.
