How the Exchange Knew My Liquidation Price Before I Did
I used to believe losing trades were my fault. I blamed emotion, poor timing, or bad setups. But after years inside this market, I saw something far more sinister beneath the surface — a coordinated, invisible force playing against me: the exchange itself.
At first, it seemed random. Why did the price spike just enough to liquidate me, only to reverse seconds later? Why did order books look thick, then vanish in real-time? Why did wicks get longer the moment I added leverage?
Then I learned: many exchanges create the illusion of neutrality, but in reality, they’re active participants. They see your stops, your entries, your leverage. They aggregate retail data, then unleash engineered volatility — fake volume, spoofing, wash trading, even server lags — all calibrated to flush out the majority.
They don’t want winners. Winners withdraw. Losers recycle.
The house doesn’t gamble. It profits off your attempt to guess.
Once I saw the system clearly, I stopped trying to beat it.
If you're still trying to trade your way to freedom, remember this: you're fighting a machine that already knows your next move.
