I was once a sardine

Sardines represent small investors who, unlike whales (big players) and sharks (experienced investors), have little experience, knowledge and preparation. Just like in the ocean, sardines in the financial market are numerous, but they tend to be vulnerable and easily “captured” by more experienced investors.
Why do sardines often lose at the market?
1. Lack of information:
• Sardines do not understand what is happening behind the scenes in the market, such as large whale orders, price manipulation or news influence.
