Why Did I Keep Losing, Even When I Knew What I Was Doing?
There was a time I thought I could outsmart the market. I spent nights under the blue glow of trading screens, flipping between charts like my life depended on the next candle. I studied every pattern, tracked volume flows, watched RSI and MACD like sacred texts. I thought I was getting closer to mastering it.
But I wasn’t trading. I was bleeding—slowly, then suddenly. Every win was erased by the next blindside liquidation. No matter how much I learned, the exchanges always seemed one move ahead. Their precision wasn’t luck—it was leverage. Liquidity hunts, fakeouts, sudden wicks. They were the house, and I was playing with marked cards.
I tried everything—bots, signals, even paying for mentorships. But the deeper I went, the clearer it became: this game wasn’t built for me to win. It was engineered to extract. Exchanges profit whether I lose fast or slow. Long-term? It’s not survival. It’s erosion.
Now I don't trade. I build. I invest. I accumulate. Because finally, I understood: if you're still trying to beat the house, you've already lost.
