Today is the 236th day of my dynamic post, and I have not missed a single day. Each post is not perfunctory, but carefully prepared.

In the crypto circle, can ordinary people really not defeat the institutional investors? Actually, not all retail investors are lambs to be slaughtered. Institutional investors are most afraid of these types of people, who not only survive in the market, but also even snatch money from the institutional investors!
1. The old player who 'sees through the market script'
Most retail investors lose money because they simply don't understand the game played by institutional investors.
Have you ever encountered these situations? Just bought in and it plummeted, just sold out and skyrocketed. After breaking through the pressure level, it instantly retracted, and the stop loss was just swept away and continued to rise. The market seems very strong, but suddenly it plummets, blowing up a bunch of leveraged long positions. If you think these are just 'bad luck', then you have fallen into the trap of the big players. The real old players will not easily believe the K-line on the surface of the market, but will dissect the operating logic of the big players and lay out in advance. They understand that the script of the market is written in advance, and the main force will not easily pull or smash the market. Each move has a purpose. Breakthrough does not equal real breakthrough, and volume does not equal real rise. Big players like to play deceptive moves. Capital flow is the real indicator, not the K-line, but the trading volume, position distribution, and contract funding rate.
2. A master of understanding "anti-human trafficking".
Most retail investors are controlled by emotions. When the price rises sharply, they have FOMO and enter at high prices. When the price drops sharply, they panic and cut their losses. They want to take a gamble when they see others making money. The most adept trick the institutional investors use is to manipulate the weaknesses of the retail investors and play them round and round.
True masters, when trading, go against human nature. When the market is greedy, they start reducing positions or watching from the sidelines. When the market is in extreme panic, they quietly enter the market. When everyone is chasing after higher prices, they have already positioned themselves to sell in advance. Their way of operating is often completely opposite to that of ordinary people, which is also what the market makers fear the most.
3. The long-term player of "holding coins patiently".
What the house likes most is to keep the retailers trading non-stop, because this way the exchange can earn transaction fees and the market can harvest your emotions. But there is a group of people that the house can't do anything about - long-term holders.
Do you still remember the process of Bitcoin rising from a few hundred US dollars to tens of thousands of US dollars? Do you still remember the process of ETH rising from a few US dollars to over a thousand US dollars? If you had just held onto a quality coin back then instead of frequent trading, you might have achieved financial freedom long ago. Market makers fear these people because they are not scared off by short-term fluctuations and do not easily give up their chips. In each bull market, those who truly make big money are often the ones who 'hold and don't move'.
4. Smart Traders Who Understand Contract Traps
Futures trading is the bloodiest place in the currency circle. 90% of people entering the market are giving money to the market. Because in futures trading, the big players can not only earn your principal, but also burst your position and squeeze you dry. You must have seen this situation: you go long, the market instantly smashes, bursting a bunch of long positions. You go short, the market instantly rises, bursting a bunch of short positions. You leverage on a trend you are bullish on, and just after adding it, the market reverses. This is not luck, but the precise control of the big players! They use holding data, contract funding rates, and liquidation points to decide when to harvest the retail investors. But there is a group of people that the big players are afraid of—those who understand the traps of futures contracts.
✅ They won't use high leverage casually, because they know that the liquidation point is the target of the whale.
✅ They understand money management and won't go All in because they know the market is a game, not gambling.
✅ They analyze market sentiment and utilize the market instead of being used by the market.
What kind of trader are you? Have you ever been harvested by the market makers?
