During analysis: The Wolf of Wall Street
During preparation: Institutional-level trader
During execution: The direction becomes increasingly skewed
Result: Another day of warming the market

This trader's true portrayal is too vivid. The pain of 'a fierce operation like a tiger, only to find the account is a mere two hundred and fifty' is something everyone has probably experienced countless times.

As long as the general direction of logic hasn't changed, I won't get tangled up in 'I must get on board.'

Many times, even if the direction is correct, I still get swept away or can't hold on to a position because the 'friction' at the entry point is too great.

I started to repeatedly ask myself: under what conditions can I enter without falling into the internal conflict of stop-loss and self-doubt?

Direction is determination, entry is rhythm, and being extremely frugal with cost prices.

Good trading shouldn't be a brawl, but should be like sailing with the wind.

Don't get entangled in what you've missed, just be persistent about that moment that minimizes psychological pressure.

Learn to coexist with your own biases and wait for that most comfortable fit.

This is the subtraction of trading.

😂A little trick—emotional anchor.

Stick a piece of paper next to your computer and write:
"The market doesn't owe me money, but it will definitely take my money"
"Missed opportunities are not my money"
"Preserving the principal is the top priority"

Every time you feel impulsive, take a glance at this paper and calm down.

Real stable trading is basically quite boring.
Watching the market for a long time, yet nothing happens.
Because trading itself is 99% waiting and 1% execution.

Most of the time, you are just quietly watching.
Not placing orders, not guessing directions, and no need to explain the market trends.
Waiting for the price to move to where it should.

Before the conditions are met, do nothing.
This step seems the simplest, but it is actually the most counterintuitive.
It is also where the gap between beginners and experienced traders truly opens up.

When that 1% occurs, placing an order feels rather unremarkable.
Not excited, nor can it be described as tense.
Just very clearly: it’s time to act.

So many people stay in the market for a long time but never manage to trade well.
Technical skills are never the only issue; more often, it's the inability to quit dopamine.
And the market never pays for emotions.

If you are here for excitement.
Then this place is not suitable for you.
Real good hunters usually look quite boring.

The essence of liquidity strategy is to learn to think like a Market Maker.

To translate theory into practice, internalize the following points as your trading principles:

🔹 Abandon retail thinking: Deeply understand that the market serves MM; your goal is not to beat the market but to walk alongside MM.

🔹 Focus on liquidity: Stop chasing prices and concentrate your analysis solely on finding retail stop losses. Always ask yourself: Where is the effective buying side liquidity (BSL) and selling side liquidity (SSL)?

🔹 Leverage predictability: Master and apply the dual drivers—trading patterns and trading sentiment, systematically pinpoint these liquidity areas, as they will become your map for high-probability trades.

Every time your stop loss is triggered, the market moves in your direction again. When you're right, but your position is gone, doesn't it always feel like the market is just targeting you?

The following are the “three-step” psychological traps that retail traders fall into when setting stop losses, which are also the roadmap the market uses to harvest. Let’s take a look at what kind of psychological loop leads retail traders to hand their stop loss orders over to the slaughter.

🔹Step One: Instinctive Drive
As traders, the most basic and intuitive action we take when setting a stop loss is to place it at a swing high or swing low on the chart. This is the most primitive form of risk management.

🔹Step Two: Seeking False Security
Humans are inherently drawn to seek protection in places they perceive as “solid.” On the chart, we project this psychology onto swing highs or swing lows.

For example, a swing low is defined by the lowest price of a candlestick, with the lowest prices of the candlesticks to the left and right being higher. Retail traders believe that these visually prominent points are reliable protective barriers.

The fatal fallacy lies here; what retail traders perceive as the most “safe” positions are precisely the areas where liquidity is concentrated and most likely to be attacked in the market.

🔹Step Three: Greed Determines Distance
One of the powerful emotions driving retail traders is greed, which forces us to pursue high returns, inevitably leading to one outcome: setting stop losses too tight.

When the need to “find a safe zone (swing highs and lows)” collides with the greed of “setting tight stop losses,” it results in the final decision: retail traders will choose to set their stop loss at the closest “safe” swing high or swing low to their entry point.

The liquidity the market requires is all at the stop loss levels set by retail traders. Therefore, to find the maximum liquidity, one only needs to aim for those swing highs or swing lows closest to the entry point.

The analytical method I use is purely technical analysis, relying on no indicators, but solely identifying liquidity driven by retail behavior patterns through S&R and market structure—understanding retail behavior and emotions.

Before your next entry, ask yourself: Is the stop loss I set exactly the point the market wants to harvest?

The "safest and most standard" stop-loss level you see on the chart is, in the eyes of MM (Market Maker), a pile of shiny gold mines.

When trading, don’t just focus on where retail investors are "getting in"; you need to pay attention to where retail investors will "crash".

That place where bodies are strewn about is actually the most liquid area.

With such a large amount of capital, if MM wants to sell, who can take it? If he wants to enter the market, who will sell to him? He cannot just slam the market price directly, as that would be too costly.

He has to set a trap, forcing you to hand over the chips in your hands.

When retail investors go short, stop-loss orders are essentially buy orders. When tens of thousands of retail investors' short stop-losses are triggered instantly, that results in a flood of buy orders.

At this point, the large sell orders in MM's hands can comfortably be handed over to retail investors.

Therefore, your stop-loss order is the fuel that ignites the market for MM.

The more "strong support" that everyone can see, the more stop-loss orders are buried underneath.

For the Market Makers behind it, it's a feast that must be consumed (liquidity).

What others see as support is a trap in my eyes.

What others see as opportunity is also an opportunity in my eyes, but the opportunity is the opposite.

When you earn a thousand, you feel it's taken for granted.

When you lose a thousand, it feels like a knife has cut you.

This is the most fatal aspect of human nature and a true reflection of most people's trading experience.

Because of the fear of pain caused by losses, many people are unwilling to cut losses when caught in a position.

Watching the account constantly shrink, they keep fantasizing, "Just wait a little longer, it should rebound."

The result is that small losses turn into large losses, and large losses lead to liquidation.

You must understand that cutting losses is never a failure; it is merely the cost of doing business in trading.

Just like running a restaurant requires paying rent, utilities, and labor, you wouldn’t feel pained because without paying these costs, the business cannot continue.

Similarly, why do you feel targeted by the market when you have to take a loss in trading?

If you want to survive in the market, put that little bit of pride aside.

Before each trade, think clearly: "If I take a loss, am I willing to bear it?"

When the price reaches the stop-loss level, execute it directly; a loss is a loss. Cut and exit without hesitation, without fantasy, and don’t add drama to yourself.

When you can accept a stop-loss as calmly as paying utility bills, you will truly begin to understand trading.
