But when you enter strongly or leveraged, does the market go against you?
It’s not black magic. It’s a mix of cognitive bias, market liquidity, and institutional manipulation. Here are the key factors:
🧠 Psychology and perception (confirmation bias)
When you enter with little capital, you are relaxed. You don’t care too much if it goes up or down a bit.
But when you put in $200 or more with leverage x10 or x20, your brain goes into "maximum alert" mode, and you start seeing every pullback as a betrayal, every red candle as an ambush.
It’s not that the market chases you… it’s that you see more danger the more you expose yourself.
2. 🧱 Liquidity levels: stop-loss hunters.
The market (especially in futures) is not a fair or neutral entity.
Whales and algorithms know where most retail stop-losses are… and if you enter with a large and poorly placed position, you are part of the fuel for their traps.
Those who move the market need liquidity to enter or exit. And your leveraged order... is part of that liquidity.
3. ⚖️ Size does matter: emotional + technical impact.
When your position is small, it does not affect the order book or your emotional state.
But when it is large, its emotional and technical weight can lead you to make mistakes: moving stops, closing out of fear, or adding more without a strategy.
And also… algorithms do not react the same to a $20 order as they do to a $500 one or, even worse, leveraging $50,000 in a low liquidity market.
4. 🎯 It’s not that the market sees you… it’s that you see yourself as more vulnerable.
With more risk, everything amplifies: anxiety, fear, impatience.
And that pressure leads you to enter late, exit early, or overtrade.
🧩 What’s the solution?
* Use leverage like a scalpel, not like a sword.
* Do not trade by quantity, but by market structure.
* Accept that not all trades are designed for you to win.
* Take care of your mental health: The real stop-loss is in your brain, not on the chart.
The market does not know how much you invested, but you do. And that can be enough to lose.
Building empires, not temporary portfolios.
