Read my post, it's not about ghosting.

I am not talking about ghosting in my post anywhere so I have no clue where you made that connection. Did you read my post at all?

I'm simply talking about them perfectly legally manipulating the amount of volume they are showing on the bid or ask individually. Anyone can do it, MM's or no with simple algorithms to automatically replenish trades. I want to trade 100k? instead of showing 100k on the ask I show 10k, but have an algorithm to instantly put up another 10k the moment it's filled until all 100k are through. At the end 10k was all that was shown on the ask the entire time. I fail to see how you could think this is illegal.

Definition

Ghosting: An illegal practice whereby two or more market makers collectively attempt to influence and change the price of a stock.

If you read my post you'd notice that this doesn't even come close to applying to what I was talking about O.o. I never even came close to insinuating that MM's are working together to manipulate the price o.O.
