French term
ordres « en face à face »
La jurisprudence de la Commission des sanctions en matière de manipulation de cours donne des exemples classiques de pratiques et manœuvres incriminées, qui tendent essentiellement à donner une image fictive du marché, tels que :
• l’entrée dans le carnet d’ordres de nombreux ordres à des cours ne permettant pas leur exécution immédiate, puis annulés aussitôt après avoir produit leur effet baissier ou haussier, ce qui a permis à l’auteur de ceux-ci d’acheter parallèlement des titres sur la tendance baissière et d’en vendre sur la tendance haussière, tendances qu’il avait directement provoquées ;
• les *** ordres « en face à face » *** consistant à passer un ordre d’achat ou de vente, rapidement suivi du passage, à partir d’un autre compte, d’un ordre en sens contraire et portant sur un volume similaire, donnant ainsi au marché des indications fausse ou trompeuses quant au volume de l’offre et de la demande.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
