Transaction Spoofing

Definition

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.
