Hello folks today I want to show some predatory algorithms using by WALL STREET Sharks
Front Running
The broker uses the order information from the customer to buy and sell in his own favor .
Spoofing
Place large orders at multiple prices and mislead other investors’ forecasts.
Strike robbing (Strobing)
Placing an order on the board for a moment misleads other participants’ predictions.
Momentum Ignition
Placing an order in a specific direction misleads other participants’ predictions.
Stop Loss Ignition
Induce price movements by aiming for stop loss orders from other investors.
Push the Elephant
When there is a large order on the board that seems to be willing to buy or sell, induce a large order by updating the best quote with your own order.
Gaming
Update the best quote on your order and manipulate the price of the dark pool referring to the quote.

The biggest and worst one in my opinion is the systematic widening of spreads for an hour each day to trigger stops from unsuspecting beginners like in this post i replied to yesterday…

Its normal and happens everyday after NY session close and lasts for about 1 or 2 hours. Google oanda historical spreads.
If you have tight stops during these times then it will most likely get triggered so best to either close your positions or temporarily remove your stops during that period until spreads return to normal.
This is daylight robbery by the whole industry and its the same even if you have an ECN broker. They tell you its because of low liquidity but its BS. There’s absolutely no reason why the big banks and brokers can’t maintain reasonable spreads in that 1 hour window.

There’s a way we can take advantage of these things they’re doing? I feel like they’re too big for all of us. We’re just pawns.

I’m trading only bitcoin at the moment. Don’t think this applies to crypto currencies.
