The market is merely a mirror, and sometimes when it's held up to your face, it will reflect your deepest insecurities, accompanied with the smuggest of grins.
All you will see is the deepest, darkest depth of the despair that is burrowed away in your mind.
Every single bad memory stored, every horror witnessed, every negative experience lived, every single bad emotion that you have felt before… When that mirror is held to you, it can all be brought to the surface of your mind.
For that is exactly what it's designed to do.
It's one of history’s most elaborate psychological operations; it's designed to manipulate your ever so malleable mind.
As a retail trader you are targeted, manipulated and commodified; all in an effort to utilise your hard earned money as exit and entry liquidity for the biggest players in the world that are using high frequency trading algorithms
That is the sole purpose of the retail market.
It's just a mirror designed to be held up to speculators, or suckers, most of whom are incapable of handling the reflection that it inevitably shows them.
If you can't handle the reflection that you see when the market stares right back at you, there are deeper issues at play than just risk management and edge.
To master trading is only to master yourself, and your psyche.
If you don't like the reflection that stares back at you, and you are not willing to do the things you need to do, in order to change what is shown to you by the mirror… Then there is no hope.
The only thing you can do to change the reflection is to change yourself.
Get your shit together.
@trq212 Been waiting for support reply for over a week, account was gifted a month of 5x max and it downgraded me to free upon using it, no human replies
The most interesting near-future deployment scenario is the convergence of three layers: a cryptographic transport-agnostic stack operating over encrypted spread-spectrum as the physical layer, with mix semantics imposed at the app layer.
The ISP disappears from the threat model entirely.
For secure messaging, seconds-level latency is operationally invisible.
The privacy benefit is absolute.
unlock your spectrum, own the silence!
Privacy maxis often say:
“Use Tor and you’re anonymous.”
Reality is more complicated.
If an adversary can observe enough entry and exit traffic, statistical correlation can link them.
This has been Tor’s core research problem for 20+ years. Encryption was never the hard part.
Hiding the patterns at the packet level is.
And we are probably the only few working towards that.
Encrypted spectrum is the last frontier of privacy.
Own your silence.
@MTradingX No arguments there, but if the 1 in 100k are losing out because of fraudsters, there's still a problem
It's all speculation ultimately, but as you say, those with any kind of edge or mathematical excellence are being shafted by idiot who are just gaming the system
@MTradingX These fraudsters are about to get slapped back into reality, there's huge things coming to the prop space in the way of risk management systems
@MTradingX Some girl crying on twitter isn't proof of good trading being denied a payout, anywhere from 25-50% of payouts are going to complete frauds who are gaming a broken system and ruining it for real traders
