The market is rigged. And it’s not fair. Anyone telling you otherwise is either lying or already broke.
Institutions see your trades before you feel them. Your stops. Your size. Your fear. Every market order exposes emotion. Every stop loss advertises where you’ll panic. Every options trade reveals what you think should happen next. They don’t trade opinions. They trade your behavior.
Retail doesn’t get hunted by accident. Retail makes it easy.
That’s why price rips through obvious levels. That’s why breakouts fail. That’s why GLD or SLV or whatever the hottest thing move before the headlines hit your screen. Smart money positions early, then lets retail chase the story and call it conviction.
By the time something is trending, you’re not early. You’re exit liquidity.
Posting your positions doesn’t make you brave. Diamond hands aren’t strength. They’re signals. Every screenshot, every public entry, every “I’m holding through this” post is free data. You’re not fighting the system. You’re helping it sharpen the knife.
And yeah, we all do it. Ego. Validation. Dopamine. Knowing the game is rigged doesn’t magically make you immune to it.
The difference is what you do with that knowledge.
The market is rigged.
We trade it anyway.
Because don’t fight the system.
We exploit it.
