Every time you go long, it dips, and every time you short, it pumps. Trust me, it’s not the whales targeting you.
Every day, someone asks me: Am I being singled out?
To be honest, with your little capital, the market isn’t going to ‘specifically target you’.
What’s more common is that you’re stepping on the same repeated mistakes.

1️⃣ Stop-loss placement is too concentrated.
A lot of folks place their stop-losses at:
previous lows, round numbers, or near moving averages.
The market is well aware of these spots, making it easy to trigger a ‘resonance stop-loss sweep’.
The result is:
right after you hit your stop-loss, it moves in the opposite direction.
A more reasonable approach is:
your stop-loss should consider volatility, not just fixed points.
If the market doesn’t go your way after entering, it’s cleaner to exit early rather than waiting for the stop-loss to trigger.

2️⃣ Chasing emotions instead of waiting for confirmation.
The most common mistake is rushing in after a big bullish candle appears.
But true breakouts usually won’t just give you a fleeting moment.
A more stable approach is:
wait for a close confirmation, or wait for a pullback that doesn’t break previous support before getting involved.
Taking it slow can help you avoid a lot of mistakes.

3️⃣ Only looking at price, not volume.
A lot of price spikes that look ‘super strong’ actually have weak volume.
This can easily lead to a pump and dump.
Conversely, if a drop is accompanied by high volume, it indicates support.
The real signals in the market often hide in the volume, not the price itself.

Most of the time, you’re not being targeted by the market; rather,
you’re entering trades based on too much emotion, with mechanical stop-losses, and only half the information.

After adjusting these three points, you’ll find:
the market isn’t really ‘targeting you’.
It’s just your previous trading style that made it seem that way.
