Using fees to force liquidation is the most common trading-manipulation tactic used by dirty market makers. They turn the fees into negative numbers, and make the figures especially outrageous—crushing powerless retail traders and forcing them out of the market. In the end, they trigger a fierce dump. Usually, there are trapped orders ahead🈶; the dirty market makers don’t want spot traders to get their positions back out, so they keep it pinned there without moving. Shorting can only be done via futures contracts, and futures have fees—so they use the fees to grind down the short sellers, seeing whether the short sellers can hold on. If they can persist, it turns into a big profit 🙂🙂🙂$SIREN
