Mind Over Markets: Trading Psychology Podcast Spoofing in ES Futures: How to Spot Fake Orders on the DOM Before They Stop You Out
In this finale, George reveals how spoofing, fake orders on the DOM—tricks traders into exiting winning trades.
Using a real 437-lot example, he shows how to spot fake vs real liquidity, stay in trades, and only exit when the market truly changes.
This episode closes the series by teaching one core edge:
Don’t react to what the market shows, read what it actually does.
Key Takeaways
- Spoofing = fake large orders meant to manipulate behavior
- 3 tells: never fills, reappears, pulls before price hits
- Most traders lose by reacting emotionally and exiting early
- Big orders above your long = targets, not threats
- Exit only when the order actually trades (real seller appears)
