What is Spoofing & fake walls?

Spoofing is placing large orders to fake supply or demand, then cancelling them before they fill. Spoof detection flags walls that repeatedly appear and vanish without trading.

How to read it

A genuine wall absorbs trades and holds; a spoof wall pulls the instant price approaches. EnsoTrade's wall-lifecycle tracker flags the difference in real time.
