Thank you, that's an excellent definition.

As a former market maker, I can say manipulation happens all the time, but it happens in stocks where they can make money. Dollar volume is so low here that it would be hard to make any real money.


In 95% of cases, mms manipulate for short time frames so they can unload inventory ... Mms are all about making the spread and ending the day flat. They try to avoid taking directional positions.
