I agree with you 100%.growltiger said:In essence yes to both questions.
But the answer to (1) bifurcates, because if you decide to move up a time frame you have to grit your teeth and expect to ride through gyrations (turbulence pockets) that would not occur without the spoofing; and if you decide to confront the spoofer, as in my provisional response, you will be moving down a frame and adding another dimension to your trading (ie resolving how to handle the movements of the spoofer).
As Quercus has said, the spoofer appears to be offering a free ride in the direction opposite to the spoof order, and this is a challenge. But this brings me to your second point, mental and moral resources: I am not sure whether it is possible to sustain the level of concentration required to accommodate the complexity of the added dimension, nor whether the effort will be net profitable (whereas in the absence of the spoofer price/volume trading clearly can be).
This is why the development of the correct mental attitude is crucial with respect to to your second point.
