A couple of days ago, the big brother who brought me into the circle told me a pretty magical story:
“A friend went from 5000U to 300,000U in two months, all the way through shining moments. Then suddenly things started to get weird: orders were precisely targeted, stop-losses were hit and rebounded, whatever was bought turned red, whatever was sold soared—it's as if the account had a built-in reverse buff.”
Do you think it’s metaphysics?
No, it’s truly being targeted by market makers.
He is not losing money; he is making too much, disrupting the market maker's harvesting rhythm 😂.
Then I start to think: what kind of person would make market makers reluctant to engage?
The answer is: these types.
⸻
1️⃣ Always knowing the next scene's 'script sniffer' 📜.
What do retail investors watch?
——K-lines, support levels, news headlines, group shouts of 'get on board quickly.'
But what do seasoned traders look at?
——The script.
Let me list a few scenarios you must be familiar with:
Bought in, just in time for a reversal.
Watching it break through, only to be punctured and slammed back down.
Everyone is shouting that the bull market has arrived, and the market maker neatly takes it all!
Do you think it’s a coincidence?
No, they are reading the script, while novices are just watching the excitement.
How do such people survive?
Watch the flow of funds, not the K-lines for tricks.
Analyze chip structure, don’t listen to the 'bears and bulls fighting' narrative.
Before the surge, they had already bought in; after the crash, they will only say 'that's about enough' haha.
Novices watch the K-line heartbeat, while the big players play on information asymmetry!
⸻
2️⃣ 'Dull Players' who do not let emotions interfere with the market 🧊.
The biggest bug in the crypto world is often not that the market moves too fast, but that people are too anxious.
When the market rises, the group instantly transforms into 'heaven's elevator entrance';
As soon as the market drops, the whole internet wails like it's a disaster movie.
But you will find that there are certain people who remain calm and collected, as if they haven’t bought any coins:
Market greedy? He easily reduced his position.
News full of bad tidings? He suddenly entered the market.
In the group, shouting 'if you don’t get on board now, it’ll be too late!' He is quietly preparing to take profits.
This is not aloofness; he has just gotten used to it!
The market deceiving you once is its fault, but if you are deceived every time… then you really need to reflect.
3️⃣ 'Stubborn Rich Women' who can hold on 💼.
Some people are busy in and out all year, yet their account still has that little bit of pressure.
And what about the rich women?
BTC rose from 10,000 to 60,000, and she was just lying there.
ETH soared from 100 to 4000, and she was still lying there.
Some quality projects went from floor to ceiling; she was 'the earliest shareholder' (^_^).
True wealth is not in short-term fluctuations but in holding onto the good things others discard.
⸻
4️⃣ 'Reverse Snipers' who understand liquidation mechanics 🎯.
You must have seen this kind of scene:
•As soon as you go long, it immediately dives.
•As soon as you go short, the market soars.
•After adding leverage, it feels like the account password has been exposed.
It’s like someone is watching you from the background.
The futures market doesn’t win through technique but by avoiding preset harvesting routes.
So smart people typically play like this:
•Do not touch high leverage, do not become the backdrop for others' liquidation points.
•Watch funding rates + position distribution, like solving a case.
•Probe with light positions when the market is greedy, and go all in when the market is desperate (the success rate is surprisingly high).
Market makers fear them, not because they make too much money, but because it’s too hard to liquidate them.
⸻
5️⃣ 'Account Survival Experts' who manage money like actuaries 💸.
Some people go all in when they win, and when they lose, they flip back all in; they play intensely but exit quickly.
There are also people who are not flashy, not stimulating, but if you look at their account after six months, well, it’s steadily growing 💪.
The secret is:
•Never let a single mistake take you out of the game.
•Every operation has a contingency plan, losing only to the stop-loss, not breaking down.
•The account always has reserves; do not believe in fate, only believe in discipline.
⸻
🪞Which one are you?
Ultimately, market makers are not afraid of your intelligence, but rather afraid of you:
No rush, no trust in groups, no blind actions, no breakdowns.
If you can endure, understand the tricks, and not get liquidated or act rashly…
Congratulations, you are no longer a 'retail investor' but the hardest nut to crack in the market. 🦴
FOMO? Cutting losses? Not a thing; I’m the calmest coin holder 🙃. Making money relies not on impulse, but on calmness + risk control (and a bit of luck too, hehe).
Then you are the type who will be harvested.
Or are you the kind that gives market makers headaches?
Have you ever been liquidated? Have you ever made a comeback? Have you ever had that 'buy and immediately drop' metaphysical moment?
