Inspired by fellow traders aquarian1, Beljevina, and many others I decided to open this thread and start venting.
Is ES market manipulated? -- what's on your mind regarding this issue?
For example market stops -- they are like sitting ducks ready to be taken a way by the control boyz -- pack them, wrap them and label them with one low price and make a profit from them.
Some floor traders even have them painted in different colours (i.e. brown ) on their computers so they can be easy to spot.
Here is the note from one of the gold sites however same situation is happening here (ES) as well.
Because I’ve seen these moves occur in one minute and I’ve read from traders who had market stop orders at 1567 during the last drop ---only to be filled 10 dollars lower at 1557 at the market lows is enough proof to suggest that the market was manipulated to take all the stops out at the LOWS by removing bids from the markets. I’ve seen this in the past also, where you have a stop and you get filled at the lows of the day instead of at or near the stops. So there is a lot of risk.
