The Biggest SCAM In Trading Industry (A Deep Dive into Market Manipulation)

Have you ever wondered who really moves the markets and controls the price action? In this video, I'm going to pull back the curtain and expose one of the biggest scams in the trading industry - market manipulation by the "smart money."
We've all seen the textbook chart patterns retail traders look for - head and shoulders tops, double bottoms, descending triangles. But what if I told you these patterns are intentionally forged to trick you?
I'll break down some concrete examples from stocks, futures, and crypto so you can see this manipulation in action.
We'll look at telltale signs on charts to spot when the smart money are moving in.
Most importantly, I'll reveal strategies you can use to protect your account and even profit from the market manipulation.
It's time we flipped the script on these so-called "smart money" players.

Big banks, institutions, hedge funds dont care about retail we are 7% of the overall market. They are trading against each other our job is to jump onto their big moves and grab a few points. I trade two maybe three times a week on the back of those moves and its made me enough money to give in my job and work from home. Chart patterns stopped working 7-8 years ago now

But if it's the most price-insensitive part of the market, it could be lucrative to give attention to retail order flow. Not because they're large notional amounts, but because it adds a high margin component to your business...

Trading is a scam!! Your strategies most likely work when you are not in the market. As soon as you hit a buy or sell button, your pattern or strategie stops being what it is supposed to be.

Most breakouts fail. Your target should be retails entry. Either trade in the direction of where the liquidity is or trade after the liquidity has been taken. You are trading against an evolving A.I. algorithm that is constantly looking for liquidity and creating patterns to entice retail to enter trades at the wrong time.

[@Mlogan11]

It's best to remember that market price action and trends create the patterns, not the other way around. Thinking the pattern will drive the market is a classic mistake and leads to people trading bullish patterns when the trend is bearish and bearish patterns when the trend is bullish. Understanding proper price action and trends is a must before responding to any trademark patterns.

Technical analysis doesn't work like it should. The algorithm and high frequency trading system is multi million dollar program designed to for them to win. It's designed also to fuck with your emotions. Purposely dropping the price to get you to sell. Payment for order flow is a tool they use to front run trades and already know that the order is placed as soon as you placed it. The options chain is another way they take advantage of premium paid by the retailer.

Luv your channel. I come here most of the time for your high quality educational content thats hard to match. As for manipulations , I dont go all in with my full risk anymore . I usually risk like 1% of capital. But now , I only go int with 30% risk now in 50/50 situation. Ill do 50% risk max on a high confluence situations. That way I leave myselt 1 or 2 chances to recover or profit , knowing that it doesnt matter how perfect your setup is , you can still be wrong no matter what. Forex is not always black and white, your trading can still be wrong, even if technicals and fundamentals on point

An easy rule to follow (from an interview with some old-shcool trader) : place your order where you would initially have placed your stop loss for what you thought was the entry point. Works everytime lol Also, candle wicks analysis works way better than classic patterns (in smaller timeframes especially) as they are an accurate representation of what is happening in the order book.

[@spearsg]

Yes yes, I've said this for a while, but traders in chat rooms and such deny it. For my perspective, *the most abused* pattern is the bull flag or pennant. After a brief consolidation, the pattern should break upward again -- but really, *really* often this is *Exactly* where a flush likes to occur. Then shorts from everywhere hop on and the trend reverses.

I disagree, patterns are not intentionally forged to trick you. They develop as a result of smart money activity. Patterns like head and shoulders have a high success ratio. Double tops/bottoms too are able to achive their targets with a high ratio.

[@smolshamer6072]

It doesn’t matter at all. Just set a tight margin of error and hold on to your winners before swaps. My best positions are me setting ridiculous limit orders at juicy discount/premium and watching them get triggered in a manner of a sweep. The limit orders are truly textbook. You either get viciously disrespected or make ridiculous RR

[@BillGraper]

That's a great idea. Set ridiculous limit orders. If it triggers, you're in at a great price. If it doesn't trigger, you stay away from the slaughter.

[@cgcg73]

If you see a pattern, millions of other people see the same pattern. And more importantly, the big players and their algos see it too. It’s like playing a poker game and the opponent can see your cards. They know what you will do. So predictable. I think long ago there was an edge in patterns and technical analysis but not anymore. Algos have eliminated that edge. You are better off looking to do the opposite of what everyone else will do at a pattern break. Bc that’s what the big players are doing. Trade with the house not against it.

First it might be better to call it "Behavioral Analysis" not Technical Analysis. Second, 80% of trading is done by computers and the code is designed to adjust and optimize results. Call it algos, bots, Machine Learning, AI, Recursive Multiple Variable Regression or whatever, it's following patterns and making profitable trades. It has learned that when price goes to an extreme it can "shake the tree" and see what falls out...bargains to go long or short of course. These programs have no emotions and will eventually react based on the results of what other programs are doing. So, could the algo programs collude in the end, or start working together??

The market makers are trading billions of dollars, they need supply or demand to fill their orders. So they create the buyers and sellers themselves, sounds pretty logical to me. The best tip is to not trade markets that are ranging in the higher time frames because those are the times price will most likely build up a liquidity pool and create an opportunity for market makers to stop out retail traders.

I don't believe in traps specifically set up for retail traders. They wouldn't make sense. As per Google about 95% of all volume comes from institutions. Those need liquidity, but the retail traders obviously can't provide it. So if there are really traps then they were set up institutions against institutions. IMHO that's the reason why strategies and associated indicators stop functioning at some point.

[@markhathaway9456]

Get the big picture. How much money are retail traders representing, and how much is this or that big trader handling? Which moves prices up or down? The one who can move prices is the "smart money". Figure out their moves, and you can be with them instead of against them.
