🚨 The Harsh Truth About Retail Trading – Stop Getting Played! 🚨
Did you know that 90% of retail traders lose money? And it’s not because they lack skill—it’s because the market is rigged against them!
💰 Here’s how the big players trick you:
🔺 The Fakeout Trap – You see a breakout, jump in, and then BOOM! The price reverses, wiping out your position.
🎯 The Stop-Loss Hunt – Ever wonder why your stop-loss gets hit right before the price moves in your favor? Market makers love to grab liquidity before the real trend kicks in.
📰 News Deception – When the media screams “BUY NOW,” guess what? The smart money is already SELLING.
⚡ Liquidity Whipsaws – Sharp moves in both directions aren’t random—they’re designed to trap traders before the real move begins.
So, how do you stop falling for these traps?
✔ Think like the smart money. Trade where liquidity is hiding, not where emotions push you.
✔ Use key price zones. Focus on supply & demand, order blocks, and institutional levels.
✔ Zoom out. Higher timeframes give clarity—don’t get tricked by short-term noise.
✔ Master your psychology. FOMO and revenge trading will wreck your account faster than a bad strategy.
