easy · Market Microstructure

A spoofing strategy involves a trader placing a 50,000-share sell order at $50.05 while the NBBO is $50.00 × $50.02.

If the trader's actual intent is to buy 5,000 shares at $49.98, how does the 50,000-share order facilitate this?

  1. By technically satisfying Reg NMS transparency rules.
  2. By providing genuine liquidity to other buyers.
  3. By narrowing the bid-ask spread for the whole market temporarily.
  4. By creating a false impression of heavy selling pressure.
