Crypto Futures: A Game You’re Programmed to Lose
I used to think I was honing mastery—refining entries, tightening stops, wielding precision like a surgeon. I’d stare at the charts deep into the night, convinced I was closing in on something—a formula, a method, an edge.
Then came the moment that shattered it. My setups were flawless. My risk was measured. Yet right before profit, the floor shifted. Again. And again.
That’s when it hit me. I wasn’t trading in a neutral market—I was maneuvering inside an algorithmic battlefield. The system wasn’t reacting to my trades. It was anticipating them. It tracked me, studied me, learned my weaknesses—and struck precisely when I was most vulnerable.
Leverage isn’t opportunity—it’s control. That sudden wick? That spread spike? Not flukes. Not randomness. Deliberate mechanisms.
For too long, I blamed myself—mindset, discipline, timing. But then I saw the truth: I wasn’t losing because I was wrong. I was losing because I was mapped, modeled, and monetized.
This market wasn’t built to reward skill. It was engineered to liquidate you the moment you thought you had it figured out.
