False disclosure rules are distinct from insider trading rules and may or may not be specifically enumerated in securities laws and/or within an exchange's rule book. For instance, market participants might actively distribute false or misleading information that has the effect of distorting the marketplace. False disclosure can be carried out by a broker or client independently and does not require trade execution or a change in beneficial ownership. It does not violate price/time priority but does mislead price and volume.

Parking or warehousing refers to the failure to disclose information, such as the mandatory disclosure of ownership interests above a certain threshold level, which is typically set at 5 percent in many countries around the world, by having third parties controlled by an individual or associates trading in their names. Clients initiate parking/warehousing, but it may be done in collusion with a broker. Parking/warehousing requires trade execution but it does not require a change in beneficial ownership or violate price/time priority. Clients benefit from parking/warehousing, but it does not directly affect price or volume.

Overall, this section refers to trading rules on price manipulation, volume manipulation, spoofing, and false disclosure as the market manipulation rules. Cumming, Johan, and Li (2011) aggregate these rules to form separate indices for each, which they call subcomponent indices. They then combine them in their sum total to form the Market Manipulation Rules Index. These indices are considered separately from insider trading rules and broker-agency conflict rules, which form the other two primary indices.
