SL is not a risk management tool it is a data collection tool, every time I used SL it was like an invitation for price action in that direction. Remains a grinder not a market.

How Did The Exchange Always Know Where My Stop Was?

I used to follow every thread, every YouTube guru, every “winning system.” I memorized candlestick patterns like gospel, timed entries to the second, and backtested strategies until my eyes burned. And still—trade after trade, I bled. Why? Because I didn’t understand the battlefield.

The exchange isn’t just a platform—it’s a predator. It sees your position size, your stop-loss, your leverage. It feeds on it. Liquidity sweeps? That’s no coincidence. Those aren’t fakeouts—they’re traps laid by algorithms built to hunt retail reflexes. Price doesn’t move; it manipulates. You’re not trading against other traders. You're trading against the house—with eyes on your every move, and tools you’ll never access.

The idea that you can win consistently in this environment is a fantasy wrapped in marketing. “Smart leverage” and “perfect timing” don’t matter when the exchange controls the entire board.

They sell you the illusion of precision while quietly engineering your failure. This isn’t a market—it’s a meat grinder. And you're not invited to win.
