Why I Kept Getting Liquidated — Until I Finally Understood

I used to think I could outsmart the market.

Charts, strategies, leverage — I thought I had an edge.

But every time I entered a trade, the exchange reminded me who really runs the game.

I wasn’t trading.

I was being baited.

My stop-losses?

They weren’t protection — they were signals.

Beacons that told bots exactly where to strike.

One sharp wick, and everything I built vanished in seconds.

I didn’t lose because I lacked discipline or skill.

I lost because I trusted a system designed to hunt me.

The high-frequency bots weren’t reacting.

They were orchestrating.

Every fake breakout.

Every sudden spike.

Every perfect liquidation…

It wasn’t random — it was engineered.

Over time, I saw the pattern:

The more I leveraged,

The more I bled.

Leverage didn’t amplify my gains —

It amplified my exposure

To a market that fed on timing, speed, and deception.

My losses weren’t just bad trades.

They were harvested, extracted, and recycled —

By the same platform I thought was giving me opportunity.

It wasn’t a fair shot.

It was a setup.

And I walked into it willingly —

Believing I had control.

🎯 Leverage can make you rich — but only if you understand who you’re up against.
