Master the Whale Mindset: 6 Rules to Trade Like Smart Money
Tired of fakeouts and emotional trades? Stop thinking like a retail trader — start thinking like a whale.
Here’s how smart money sees the game:
1. Liquidity is the Goal
Whales hunt stop-loss zones above highs and below lows. That’s where the real moves start.
2. Flip Retail Psychology
If it looks too obvious, it’s bait. Think ahead of the crowd.
3. News ≠ Catalyst
Good news? Price drops. Bad news? Price pumps. Whales use headlines to trap traders.
4. Ranges = Setup Zones
Tight ranges = big moves coming. First breakout? Often fake. Wait for confirmation.
5. Stop Hunts Are Signals
Sharp spikes then reversals? That’s liquidity being taken. Don’t react — analyze.
6. Ask: Who Benefits?
Before entering, ask: Is this a trap? Think like a market maker, not prey.
Bonus: Patience Pays
Chasing kills accounts. Let trades come to you.
