The classic retail investor's stock trading mentality
What would you lose if you didn’t watch stocks? What would you gain if you did? You would certainly say that if I had held that stock back then, I would have made some profit. As a retail investor, you are not the market maker's match in analysis, research, information, or funds, but even if the market maker wears an iron shirt, they still have unknown vulnerabilities. What do market makers fear the most? The answer I give you may sound ridiculous—market makers fear that you will not watch them! Because they know your greed and fear, and the market maker's schemes are conveyed to you through operators. They make the trading market full of surprises; they make the candlestick chart appear deceptive and dramatic. As long as you open your eyes and look, you will feel anxious and lost, and you will be in constant worry. The market maker conquers you this way, as they treat this trading market as a theater, seeing themselves as the star performer, while you willingly become a loyal audience, allowing them to perform freely. When you do not watch them, when they have no audience, when they play to the void, they are truly afraid because their money is borrowed, and they have to pay the operator's salary. When faced with someone who doesn't watch or inquire or rush, when faced with someone who is ignorant, desireless, fearless, their performance becomes futile. This is the vulnerability of the market maker, and this kind of stock is the retail investor that the market maker can never defeat.
