Why Did I Keep Buying Tops and Selling Bottoms?

I thought I had it figured out—candles, trends, support, and resistance. It all looked so clear.
But every time I bought, the market tanked.
Every time I sold, it ripped.
Again and again.

At first, I blamed myself. Maybe I was just early. Or late. Or unlucky.

But then I stopped trading... and started watching the exchanges.

That’s when the truth hit me:
It wasn’t bad luck. It was by design.

The fake bounce?
It’s bait.
The “discount dip”?
A trap.

The clean trends and textbook breakouts?
Manufactured. Fabricated depth, spoofed orders, and delayed fills—choreographed to herd retail into dead zones and liquidation pools.

Exchanges aren’t neutral platforms.
They’re predators.

They don't reward smart trades—they hunt predictable ones.
They weaponize your TA, exploit your discipline, and front-run your instinct.

They control the board.
And we’re trading blindfolded.

You're not losing because you're wrong.
You're losing because they designed it that way.
