If yes, is there any way to take advantage of it?

@WH Chan: HFT is about High Frequency - most positions are very short lived (from seconds to hours).

Buy something @ 1 unit bellow market and sell it @ 1 unit above market - it will provide (immediate) gain of 2 units.

It really does not matter is there is some market manipulaiton. Learn to trade options from McMillans book on Options as a Strategic Investment. You can make money anyway.

Of course there are manipulators.

Let's say stock A with a market cap of 50M.

You invest let's say only 5000 shares into this.

Post on a variety of financial blogs that a new medication/drug is invented by stock A and will pass FDA approval from some stinky library in Pittsburgh. Stock will rise, you will sell.

bing bing bing, kajing $$$.

Obviously this practice is illegal, but read any linkedin/seeking alpha/yahoo finance board and you will see 99% of those similar stories. If you are rich enough you can manipulate small cap stocks purely for the fun of it.

Consider what happens when HFT is on the other side of your market order. How have you effectively helped your position as you did not remove or add any supply from/to the market?
