Greetings,
I don't see it so much as "manipulation", as it is the market carrying out its primary function. As Pete Stedlymayer said some time ago in his book, Mind over Markets; "The primary function of the markets is to facilitate trade".
And I believe the best place to "find trade" is to seek out where the retail stops are located. If you look at you charts from that perspective, and seek join the "Big Boys & HFT's" rather then fight against them, you might see things in a different light. Its kind of eye opening I think,...what do you guys think?
