$LAB This dog market maker really plays both the long and short sides like they’re at their fingertips
The day before, it plunged hard to smash the market and scare off all bottom-fishing retail traders; then it turned around and violently pumped the price from 13 to 16
The long side crazily piles on positions, while the short side has to keep holding orders while also paying a high amount of funding fees—both sides are repeatedly harvested
When it goes up, it uses wick/needle moves to lure shorts; when it drops, it stretches to lure longs—up or down all depends on the market maker’s mood
No matter whether retail traders go long or short, as long as they dare to hold positions through adversity, sooner or later they’ll get liquidated by those needle moves—every bit of the price action is a script for the dog market maker to harvest retail traders.

It’s humans who set the direction, machines that carry out execution. If you want a quant trading tool, DM me—I’ll give you #量化 for free
