Cryptocurrency futures trading began at the end of 2017, essentially a young emerging market with a full range of manipulation schemes that are largely absent in traditional markets.

Some of the most common types of manipulations that many have heard are:

  1. Pump/Dump

  2. Spoofing is the creation of an imbalance in the order book by placing large limit orders without the intention of their execution.

  3. Wash-trading is a manipulation aimed at generating fake volume on an instrument by concluding a large number of transactions, most often with oneself

  4. Cornering is the manipulation of the price of an asset due to the ownership of the majority of the circulating supply; most often, such manipulations can be seen on listings.

  5. Quote Stuffing is a type of high-frequency manipulation in which a large number of orders are placed and then immediately canceled in order to overload the trading engine and create artificial volatility.

  6. Front Running - the process of placing a limit order before the order of another trading participant (here there is often a direct agreement with a broker or exchange)

  7. Social pressure - creating information noise through social media. networks.

To identify such complex manipulations, there is the Spread Fighter platform.

The main interesting module of the platform is the Manipulation monitor, which shows from 0 to 100% manipulation on the market in the form of a screener that highlights all the most significant manipulations throughout the market. It looks like this:

The tool is built on AI - which distinguishes manipulation from normal market movement (if Bitcoin is rising, and behind it all alt also goes up, the tool will not signal manipulation, since this is just a market movement behind Bitcoin).

The developers provided their own interpretation of the values, where it is clearly visible that if the value is red, the major player has most likely already completed his manipulation, and will soon let the asset float freely.
