Transaction Spoofing is a deceptive trading practice where an entity places a large order with the intent of canceling it before execution, aiming to manipulate market prices. By creating the appearance of significant buying or selling pressure, the spoofer attempts to induce other market participants to trade based on this false signal, profiting from the resulting price movement. This tactic is employed to mislead other traders and distort market dynamics.
Context
Transaction Spoofing is a concern in both traditional financial markets and increasingly within cryptocurrency exchanges. News reports may detail investigations by regulatory bodies into manipulative trading activities or highlight instances where large, quickly canceled orders have demonstrably impacted asset prices. The challenge lies in distinguishing genuine trading intentions from manipulative spoofing attempts, requiring sophisticated surveillance and enforcement mechanisms.
