Title: Watching a manipulator
Post by: Babylon on May 06, 2013, 11:34:00 AM
I am watching a wall that was at 123, then moved down a bit, then back up, and has pretty clearly been pushing the market up to the askwall at 125.  Whoever it is is definitely manipulating the herd fairly well.  I'm kind of impressed.  They did quite a few legitimate buys, which they clearly plan to recoup when the two walls collide.

Not sure the herd is following but the bots are.

He did help in tearing down the $120 wall, will he do the same to $125 ?

Well, she's pushing a herd of bots then,  that works just as well as a herd of people.

I don't know what was accomplished by dropping the wall just before it collided with the 125 wall though.

I was just watching the bid and ask walls on MTGox live.  The manipulator kept building a bidwall at or just below the market price, slowly pushign it up toward 125.

Clarkmoody is the best place to check what's going on as far as walls go i find.

What I see now is someone selling at market a few k BTC into bid, then someone is buying at market a few k into  ask. A little pause and a repeat. 35k was traded like so in last 40 minutes in 116-124 range. Fun to watch.

Some bot went crazy and mixed pluses and minuses again perhaps?


PirateAt40 fail trading?  :P
