" Every single trade is recorded, shouldn't be hard to prove if true. "
Are you even paying attention ?
What happened in NOK trading on 1 August ?
"Recorded" my rear end... Trades that DID happen... are now said "not to have ever happened"... because it wasn't convenient to have the errors made by NITE in their trading... be "made to count" against NITE... rather than against the counter-parties in each of those trades that was "unwound" to benefit NITE ???
One issue is if and how "the market participants" on the other side of each of those trades were made whole. Most probably were... which is likely a very big part of why it cost the $ it did to "fix" the problems ? But, that's a $ issue, and it is still not the point in relation to the accounting issues in the shares in the trade, and volume in the trade, then... versus what we see in the charts ? The VOLUME in the trade on 1 August... IS an separate issue... because of trades being "reinvented" after the fact... and, that's the second issue: Which trades, among those executed IN FACT on 1 August, were later deemed to be "real"... after the fact... and which ones were deemed "not real" and "re-invented", or "un-invented" after the fact ? And, then, how does that "adjustment" made to the "reality" after the fact... show up in your charting ?
But, there's obviously a THIRD issue... because of what we saw THAT DID OCCUR as we watched the trade unfold on 5 September... and the third, and BIGGER issue is... not that they DID "roll back" some history and reinvent it after the fact... but, that the effort made in doing that... appears it is continuing, NOW, or, "when convenient"... as we CAN see that occurring with that EXACT issue popping up in the trading conducted on 5 September ?
OK. NITE imploded... and "they" imposed some fairly extraordinary measures to "fix it"...
But, why are those same tools STILL BEING USED NOW... when there is no purpose that can explain their OBVIOUS use... other than an interest in manipulating the trade ???
I don't KNOW who did that...
But, the FACT of it... is right there...
