The Hardest Game in the World — Why Trading Feels Rigged Against You
If you’ve ever felt like the market is watching your every move, you’re not alone. Every trader has had that moment — you enter a position and suddenly, it’s like the market decides to move against you instantly.
It’s not paranoia.
It’s just the reality of trading against some of the smartest, fastest and most well-informed minds on the planet.
You’re Up Against the Best
When you step into the market, you’re not just trading against some guy in his basement. You’re going head-to-head with hedge funds that have billions to throw around, algorithms that can execute trades in microseconds, and insiders who have access to information you’ll never see.
And let’s not forget the media…
Hedge funds know exactly how to manipulate sentiment, feeding half-baked stories to the financial press just to push prices in their favor. Jim Cramer himself once admitted that when he ran a fund, he could call up The Wall Street Journal, throw out some nonsense and watch it hit the news.
The result? Misinformation is everywhere.
You can find a bullish or bearish case for any stock if you look hard enough. And when you’re trading based on headlines, you’re reacting to information that’s already been priced in by those who had it first.
The Market Will Teach You Lessons — Usually the Hard Way
If you don’t come into this game with a plan, the market will teach you one. And you’ll pay for that education — financially. I’ve blown up accounts… 10 of them, actually.
Many of you reading this probably have or will blow up an account at some point. I learned to trade from the school of hard knocks — I didn’t get fed with a golden spoon at an investment bank.
But I kept the accounts small while I was learning, and that made all the difference.
The biggest mistake new traders make is thinking they can just follow someone else’s trades. That never works. If you don’t understand why you’re in a trade, you won’t know when to get out — and when things go south, you’ll freeze.
That’s how accounts get wiped out.
You also need to forget the idea of making quick, easy money. Your first goal in trading isn’t to hit home runs — it’s survival. If you take massive losses early, you won’t last long enough to actually learn how to win before you give up and quit.
You have to pick your battles carefully.
I only trade high-probability setups and ignore the rest. That’s the only way to stay in this game. If you’re throwing darts at the market, you’re playing right into the hands of those who have been doing this longer, better, and faster than you.
So before you put another trade on, ask yourself one question: Do I actually have an edge, or am I just hoping this works?
If it’s the latter, you already know how that ends. | | | | |
