Good thread on manipulation, though those are NOT "market maker's techniques" as @StartaleTV claims, but general manipulation methods available to all. Thread also confuses Market Makers with Funds, which are different things.

There are exceptions, where clients get taken advantage by market makers executing their orders. This is a great example. justice.gov/opa/file/87742… #FX #Manipulation

I've talked before about Russian #disinformation, and how the goal is to exploit existing divisive issues to weaken the enemy. 1 #InformationWarfare #WednesdayWisdom #CambridgeAnalytica #Russie #Putin #deza
Bernie v. Hillary, Benghazi & the "email scandal" were perfect targets. There was already tension & division on those topics, so they were easy to exploit. 2
Russia also targeted #peopleofcolor (specifically black voters) to sow distrust of Hillary & the political process, which helped Trump's campaign. 3
