Andreas, I have been carefully watching CPQ movement this morning on a live RT system, and I see some strange things happening. I saw several instances where trades were made above the bid/ask range. It also seems that the ask price is being kept at 28 or below. Sometimes you can see, for the briefest instance, where the ask price will move below the bid price. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening? It appears to be MM manipulation, but maybe somebody on the thread can offer a better explanation.
