A message for those who got caught, hoping it might help you
Although I am a newcomer to the market, I have always wondered where the money goes during such huge fluctuations
Let me share a strategy: if I could control the overall market trend, I would first open a short position with 20 billion, then open a long position with 20 billion. When my operations can influence the market and it continues to move in one direction for a while, I would withdraw the losing side, allowing the profitable side to keep earning for some time. Repeating this process several times, I can make a huge profit regardless of the circumstances.
💰 1. Exchanges (the most profitable and risk-free)
Whether you buy long or short, profit or loss:
- Every trade incurs a fee (spot/contracts)
Futures liquidation, funding rates, withdrawal fees also generate income
During extreme volatility, trading volume surges → they earn even more
👉 Exchanges are "casino operators," no matter who wins or loses, taking a cut is inevitable.
🐳 2. Market makers / big players / liquidity providers (manipulators)
Hold large amounts of chips, capable of creating or amplifying volatility
By smashing the market, pulling the market, luring longs and shorting too, they eat retail traders’ stop-losses
Market makers use tiny spreads for high-frequency arbitrage
Ordinary traders are at a disadvantage in information, speed, and capital.
⚖️ 3. Very few professional traders
Strict stop-loss and take-profit + risk management + mature strategies
Avoid emotional chasing of gains or panic selling
Usually trade trends or hedge, rather than blindly betting on volatility
