Ever stop to think about who's on the other side of your trade?
That counterparty you're betting against isn't just some random player. They could be a seasoned trader who's spent years reading charts, an algorithm optimized for execution, or an institutional player with deeper pockets and better information flow.
When you buy, someone's selling. When you short, someone's going long. The question is: do you have any edge over them?
This is worth sitting with before you hit that button. 🎯

Thinking about my trading records, thank goodness I didn't bet my entire fortune.

Most of the time, we're betting against robots or large funds, and that idea really hits hard.

Honestly, most of the time we're just serving dishes to institutions, happily thinking we're trading.

Most people start going all-in without even thinking about this problem... I bet five dollars that the person sitting across from you is an institution.

Hmm... I never thought about this every time I put my finger on the trade button, now I'm a bit panicked.
