Can You Really Win a Game Where the Rules Shift After Every Trade?
There was a time I believed I could master this. That I could outsmart the charts, decipher the cycles, beat the odds. But I didn’t realize the real opponent wasn’t the market—it was the exchange itself. You’re not trading with it; you’re trading inside it. And that’s a cage dressed up like a game.
They see your stop-loss before you set it. They anticipate your fear before you feel it. With every candle move, the exchange feeds on your behavior, not just your capital. It’s not volatility—it’s orchestration. The price doesn’t just fall; it hunts. It doesn’t spike; it triggers. Every liquidation, every bounce, every fakeout is engineered precision. Your emotions are not incidental—they’re the main product being extracted.
I learned the hard way: no amount of technical skill can outplay an entity that rewrites the rules in real time. This isn’t a market built for traders—it’s a mirror maze designed to trap them in their own reflection.
You don’t lose because you’re wrong. You lose because they need you to.
