Bank/Hedge Fund Information

Good morning!

I have known for a long time that funds and other institutions that trade have much more info and reports on positions, order books and similar stuff. They share info between each other as I have been told and probably work all together to move the prices in the willing directions.

Now, the question is how can someone gather that info? I have met a guy(we are now good friends) who has a friend that has the position right under the hedge fund manager(like the 1st officer, don't know what is his position, maybe vice-manager or something like that). He is getting weekly info on the changes of many institutional positions, but he pays for it. He is not willing to share with anyone, not even to his mother, because the guy from the fund could have problems with it.

He has been giving some hints for the past few weeks, and they really go through as he says. He only opens some trades on the market open and checks them at the end of the week.

So can someone tell me if they may know anything about this? Or has any contact with someone who works in similar institutions?

Please, any irrelevant info or mocking of this post will be asked to be removed by the moderators.

There is no question this is going on. Just look at the news on the Australian class action against such manipulation found in 2013.

Unless you're already a massive player, hedge fund or work at a major bank I don't see how you are going to be able to access such a group.

You can generally spot these areas on a price chart anyway above swing highs and lows.

So let me get this right. You are suggesting widespread collusion between major Financial Institutions including price manipulations and exploiting private information which is illegal since it falls under insider information (amongst many things) punishable by incarceration. Just saying, maybe it happens.

Right? And you are here on a public internet forum attempting to gain access to this illegal information or make contact with someone who may be able to provide you with this information, an action punishable by incarceration.

Fascinating, truly truly fascinating.

Interesting topic, RulerEraser
This is also what I'm claiming in my thread, I will add a link to it, that's easier than explaining my thoughts on it because it's described more in detail-depth there.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with suggesting this, actually, I believe that researching into possible manipulation of the biggest capital market in the world is a great course. He is here on a public internet forum to share his thoughts with fellow peers, nothing wrong with that.

Fair enough, also just my five cents on the topic. And I ofc also condemn any illegal activities.

ANd of course, why would there be thread without mbrown to go with healing his complexes on every single post and even ignoring me after replying ot my thread... IF you have nothing smart to answer then please don't answer...

Anyways, I am not talking about the illegal activity of brokers. I am talking of "institutions" dragging the price in their own way, removing liquidity when they want it and similar stuff that can be arranged between big players easily. That was my point of view.

I thought someone might have researched it better, might have more info on that.
