Most retail traders see the market as candlesticks


Market makers see the market as liquidity
Retail traders study daily:
Support levels, resistance levels, indicator golden crosses, news, calls, price predictions
But professional market makers actually focus on:
Which side has accumulated leverage
Which side has placed stop-loss orders
Where the liquidation chain is
Which side the dealer will be forced to hedge
Where there is a liquidity vacuum
Which positions are most vulnerable
Many people think the market is about "predicting the future"
But often, the market is just:
First eliminating the most fragile participants
Why do most people always:
Chase the rise and get crushed
Buy the dip and get pierced
Fake breakouts after a breakout
Because essentially,
They are actively walking into liquidity pools
Top-tier traders are not the ones with the most accurate predictions
But those who:
Know where forced transactions will occur
Know which side is in the most pain
Know when liquidity will suddenly disappear
Candlestick charts are just the result; position structure is the cause
After upgrading from a "candlestick trader" to a "liquidity trader"
You will suddenly find: the market is slowing down
