magoo is an unknown quantity at this point
Of course, FOREX market is manipulated. Everyone knows that the BoJ won't let the Yen go too high. And there are many other examples of such interventions from Central Banks (CHF, GBP, even EURO).

But the term manipulation is not appropriate to explain every movements of the market that you don't understand or cannot anticipate. I'm affraid that, no offense to anyone, this is called paranoļa.

Another myth : brokers can make a currency lose 100 pip, just to hit the stop loss of your 2 mini lots...

On it's own plateform, a broker can quote what he wants, true. But there is no retail broker able to move the whole market significantly during day hours. Please, be serious, you can't move the mountains with a spoon.

I agree with Croesus, if you feel more comfortable thinking that you hold THE right explanation, ok, the forex is a big manipulation. So what?
