Wash trading simulation

Matched trades between linked accounts, shown trade by trade. The pattern first shows in the trade record, but only account records confirm it.

Every trade below is synthetic and scripted, not observed. Account codes are constructed labels, not real market participants. The blotter shows what an analyst sees first, a pattern between the same two counterparties, and what it takes to move from a suspected problem to a confirmed one: a review of account records showing the same owner on both sides of the trades.
