Hedging

Market Manipulation and Deception

• Spoofing, layering, price manipulation, fraudulent order entry, or any conduct designed to distort market prices, create false impressions of supply and demand, or deceive other market participants.

High-Frequency and Algorithmic Exploitation

• Using HFT systems, tick scalpers, bulk order automation, or any algorithmic tool designed to exploit execution speed advantages, platform inefficiencies, or simulated fill conditions, rather than to express a genuine directional market view.
