They Didn’t Liquidate Me by Chance. They Designed It.
The first time my position got wiped out to the dollar, I called it bad luck. The second time, coincidence. By the fifth, I knew better. My liquidation price wasn’t a vulnerability—it was a target. And the exchange knew exactly where to aim.
They thin out liquidity near popular levels, letting even small moves trigger massive wicks. Your stop-loss becomes a stepping stone. Your liquidation, a source of liquidity. Every trade you open is broadcasted to a system that sees your position size, margin, and the precise price that breaks you. And when enough traders align? The market “accidentally” spikes there.
It’s not volatility—it’s a surgical sweep. A liquidation isn’t just a loss—it’s profit for someone else. For them.
You think you’re trading price. But the price is trading you.
They hand you leverage and give you the illusion of control. But behind the candles, there’s a script—and you're the one they’ve written out by force.
Ask yourself: if they know your breaking point, why would they ever avoid it?
