Myth: The market is manipulating me personally — the conspiracy theory
The most dangerous psychological trap preventing you from improving
Why do you feel the market is targeting you? And how can you stop falling for this psychological trick?
Why do we believe this theory?
• Confirmation bias: We focus on losses and ignore winning trades
• Agency bias: The brain looks for an actor or a conspiracy to explain chaos
• Losses are psychologically more painful than gains, creating a feeling of being targeted
Myth vs. reality:
Myth: The market is manipulating me personally and targeting my trades
Reality: The market doesn’t know you. It’s a massive system of supply and demand, liquidity, and random algorithms
Signs you’re falling for the conspiracy theory:
- Blaming the market instead of reviewing your trading plan
- Trading emotionally and trying to get revenge on the market
- Ignoring risk management and failing to set stop-losses
- Feeling that everyone is against you and that you’re being targeted
How can you overcome it?
1. Keep a record of your trades: Note the reason, plan, and outcome — without emotions
2. Manage risk: Don’t risk more than 1–2% of your capital on a trade
3. Accept randomness: A 50–60% win rate is enough to be profitable in the long run
4. Focus on what you can control: your analysis, discipline, and commitment to your plan
Binance Square tip: Focus on data, education, and risk management. Avoid emotional news. Develop a plan and stick to it
