Look at a forward price ladder. For example, look at the ES/MES ladders for September. when the market closes RTH. You'll see shit you will not believe. MNQ September was great yesterday after 4PM ET. All the 200-lots coming in on the ladder, which were not really being traded. All spoofing bullshit.
its blantantly obvious you have no idea and have never done it. uts done easily at certain times in the mini es and mini nq and it doesnt take more than a 2 or 3 lot sometimes to get them interested. also ur not looking to get fillled so u can over leverage to get them to move. turns out its extremely simple.
its painfully obvious you are a Dummo trader. once u start putting 1 lots on the book and moving them u will see how every level you move to reacts by qty changes so yeah..2 n 3 lots easily grab attention for them to investigate but u have your own head shoved so far up your own ass looking for pooprofit that you will never get pas your own bullshit. good luck bro.
as a side note 90% of all the volume on the book bekongs to like 3 companies always.so they know what is going on with it
