Abstract
Market manipulation is an issue that is almost as old as the earliest speculative market. The prevalence of “pump and dump” or “dump and cover” strategies was widely reported in financial press. Even though market manipulation might be much more
severe in the early years of financial markets, it is too early to say that manipulation is no longer of importance. In modern financial
markets, manipulations are often taken in hidden ways that cannot be easily detected and outlawed. In many emerging markets where market regulations are weak, manipulation is still quite rampant.
This thesis introduces an improved formal model for stock market
manipulation with an implemented software tool based on the developed trading system. This tool with its associated database and other artifacts enabled by the model is used to capture market manipulation criticisms to weakness of the existence trading
system in Cairo and Alexandria Stock Exchange (CASE) and map these criticisms into our developed model objects to be used in synthesizing a set of open issues from manipulators to be maintained. These manipulations are resolved by examining and testing manipulators behaviors, and then propagating the change down in the developed system hierarchy in a consistent and controlled manner.
