More Bank Trading Strategies - www.DayTradingForexLive.com How The Banks Manipulate Retail Forex Traders - Day Trading Strategy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDhXG02KgWE In this video I walk through some recent market manipulation that occurred around economic data. In general news offers a good opportunity to identify manipulation in the market which gives us a great indication of what smart money is doing. Because 5 banks control 58% of the daily forex volume they must search out liquidity when they have the desire to buy or sell. Simply put you cannot buy what someone else is not willing to sell, and you cannot sell what someone else is not willing to buy. In order to find liquidity smart money looks for areas of high liquidity as well as certain times where overall market direction will be one sided. If they have the desire to sell they need buying pressure and thus entering the short position is easier when overall market direction is long. News represents a great time when a one directional market is likely to occur and thus allowing smart money a great opportunity to manipulate overall market sentiment. -Sterling
