spoofing can only work well if the participants in the market dont know or realise there is an attempt going on to spoof it.stueytrader wrote: ↑Sun Jul 15, 2018 10:39 amI do get the points about needing sufficient liquidity to make the exit, I agree. Though that does sort of suggest that the entire concept of spoofing/manipulation would never work in any market, so is that true....?Dallas wrote: ↑Sun Jul 15, 2018 10:24 amA general rule of thumb is watching the next three prices behind you and if the stake you're about to use exceeds whats available at these then you have a problem if you need to get out quickly without taking a bigger loss than neededstueytrader wrote: ↑Sun Jul 15, 2018 12:18 amSo, mostly the liquidity seems the biggest criteria for upping or downing staking from the replies above.
I can see that the amount the market can take is a good issue to consider, though possibly would anyone ever consider that putting a larger amount is a positive? E.g. moving a market into a position you wanted. I realise that comes under the 'spoofing' area of trading of course.
if they can spot it, it can be exploited, or treated as noise (depending on various factors as to which).
