Does the market watch somebody?

[Gposas]

In respect to trading crypto, it is obvious that a trader must have a grounded knowledge on trading before venturing into it otherwise he'll be recording losses on any of his trades.
Even up to the professional traders, they also have the strategies and risk management techniques to maximize profit and reduce loss.

But I have a little experience about the crypto market... the market always go in an opposite direction whenever I place any trade.
Even if the trade is speculated correctly and ends up on a perfect prediction, the market must always move opposite to the trade before bouncing back....

I begin to feel the market is watching ones trade in a way....

How many of you have experienced this and do you feel the market is watching ones trade?

You'd start to doubt whether you really have learned to trade when your entry point is not really making you profit after days. But if you are just in spot market, then all you need is just time and waiting is the name of the game.

You may want to consider the kind of market when you buy. Most of the long term holders buy their coins in the bear market. The indicators can tell you when is the o ice at its lowest point.

You still need to learn more about analyses. I have a friend that told me this some months ago. I myself have also thought of it before. But I know that it is not like that. Just learn more about analyses. Be using very low leverage and know that as a coin rise, it can fall. Know the market trends and use it to trade. So if the market go against your position, it can still later continue in the trend. Just continue to trade with very small amount of money to learn more.

Besides being emotional, this situation when it looks like you have being watch on positions mostly occurs when a trader is on a margin or future leverage options. The market trends most times moves to liquidate over leverages positions on either a short or long positions over times
As a trader, it is advisable to always follow some expert traders who try to display the market Heat Map of Bitcoin or other altcoins short or long positions. This positions will play out overtime especially if you monitor them regularly.

The stage you are now and what you’re experiencing is what every other trader have passed through in the past before they became perfect at trading. The market is not watching you at all, it is just that your strategy is yet to be fully developed to a profitable trader type. This is not a gambling game that you can just predict and when luck shines on you, you’ll win those games. It’s practically about understanding the market, using a strategy that works better for you and sticking to your strategy to achieve maximum success and more understanding of the market through that method. When you begin to understand the market better, you’ll see that your analysis will work better and you won’t feel that the market watches you when it doesn’t at all in real sense.

Come to think of it. Let's say an expert trader is watching you trade. What would be his benefit of watching you and your position? Are you trading with that much money so that the expert trader must watch what trades are you doing.

It's funny that people think like this where in fact, it isn't possible. I've also experienced that feeling when I lost my money for the first time but later, I realized that the problem was with me because of my wrong analysis and wrong decisions. It's not like that somebody's watching you like a ghost. It's how you're feeling when you're making wrong trades consecutive times.

That simply means it's a part of the experience needed in becoming a profitable trader. Since most traders has also experienced a thing like this, I guess I'm on the right track still.

Because I keep wondering why does it at most times happen like this, the market always giving opposite direction to ones trade, almost making me feel I'm trying luck when I'm trying to make analysis according to the market trend. But at most times, the trade will be successful but after showing that opposite move and then swing back to my prediction.

However, I comprehend you are likely pointing that what I need now is to learn more about making right analysis, focusing on the market, understanding candlestick patterns and predicting the market trends accurately.

If that is possible, it is very possible big traders will watch what small traders are doing because they know small traders are more vulnerable as they will use high leverage that will make their liquidation not far at all which the big traders can use to manipulate the market. I am not saying this is how it is but I am saying that there is nothing big traders can not do to do some manipulations if possible.

This has happened to me several times before, I really get the feeling that the market is watching me all the time and is doing the opposite to the directions I choose, it always happens the opposite when you buy the coin goes down and when you sell it goes up.

A trader gets this feeling when he makes several losing trades, but the reality is definitely not like that, as you gain more experience you will learn that the secret is in patience and choosing the right time to enter and exit trades, that's all.

Although he only feels like someone traders are watching his trades, it may very well be true that whales are watching the orderbook analysing whether there are more bulls and bears in the market as part of their strategy to go all in holding for long term or just keep trading to accumulate.

For user to notice their trades are being watched, they could either be paranoid or they are learning too well 😁

our brains can play tricks on us when things don’t go our way our brain tend to find ways to blame something or someone but at the end it’s really us that just need improvement i am sure that over time you’ll improve and by then you will see huge differences

trading is difficult some had to learn it for a year some had to go pay for lessons even it was never going to be easy just be patient and don’t get frustrated study more but do it with responsibility

Experience is essential if the price is stable and moving within support and resistance levels. Here, technical analysis will play a role in determining price trends and thus, to a large extent, in determining profits and losses. But at times like these, when the price changes dramatically, you do not need to learn much, but rather invest and then sell to achieve profits.

Trading involves a continuous learning and discovery curve...and it will not really stop even if you are already a successful professional trader making millions upon millions. Of course, once you made it on top the view can be so different and am sure your takeaways will be changing. For many of us just starting to get wet in trading, we may feel that the market is focusing some limelight on us and purposely pulling the rug under our feet...but I am sure this is not the case and this can be the biggest symptom that we need more analysis and experience. Do not stop because eventually you will get there...gains will not magically happen without going through the many discouraging losses.

Market is not watching you or anyone, it just move based on lots of factors like news related to crypto, political events and even government policies but at the end of the day it's just a random event and doesn't follow any path.

If you feel that market is behaving opposite of what you assuming then you only need to change your strategies.

No, the market isn't watching you, it's just your thoughts and nothing else. One should always think positive because positive things always bring happiness and good feelings in ones life. When it comes to market works well for you, but if you feel that others watch you then that feeling can bring fear and so many other emotions with you.
