How Much Do Day Traders Earn⁉️ (On Average)

🚨 INVESTOR AND TRADER POST ⚠️

• Gotta enjoy yourself otherwise the market can be more stressful than a job 🤣

Mindset produces Assets:

Enjoy the journey smile 😃 laugh 😂 this is as much about us Becoming Better as it is about Asset Accumulation.

• Stop focusing on a quick buck. Hold, and go long.

Collect Assets at a Discount. DCA either way. Be patient

• The Market Ebbs and Flows… like the Ocean 🌊 so be like water 💦 my friend

There’s Cycles and Manipulation so it goes Up and Down like a roller coaster 🎢

• Don't let the Wins go to your Head 🧠

Don't let the "losses" go to your Heart ♥️

• The Key 🔑 is

We win 🏅 short term when there’s red because everything’s on discount (we scoop up Solid long term ETFs and stocks for the low)

And

We win 🏅 long term because in 5-10 years when our assets appreciate we can collect on our wealth and enjoy life - even more than we are now 😏

• Get Taught Up so you don't get Caught Up...

• Don’t let ANYBODY tell you accumulating wealth is easy

If it's easy it's sleezy

It’s simple in theory but definitely ain’t easy in practice 💯

• IF you’re new, conservative and or emotional

Consider Buying more ETFs like SPLG and FTEC etc

Don’t overly focus on NVDA or individual stocks

Consider Buying ETFs and stocks that do Track or Surpass the 📈 S&P 500

Do not get caught up in the hype or anything volatile even if you hear 👂🏽 people talking about it

• When it comes to Stocks, ETFs, Real Estate, Businesses, Precious Metals…

or any asset class in your Wealth Wisdom & Asset Accumulation journey:

Stick to your strategy

Adjust when necessary

Rinse and Repeat 🔂

Energy FLOWS where Energy GOES…

👉🏽 So 👈🏽

…Be INFORMED but not INUNDATED.

• When we understand the cycles ☝🏽 we can enjoy the journey more

We can buy the dips and unplug (or do nothing) when there’s downtrends, dark pool market manipulations, sell offs etc

• We can also enjoy the upswings without getting caught up in FOMO and succumbing to the pressure of buying stuff at All Time Highs

• Propaganda is linked with Dark Pools and Market Manipulation

Remember that.

• They don’t want you to win 🏆 so they control you with fear 😱 and make you think it’s logic 🧠

IF you let them 😏

Remember that 💯

• Look into Capital Gains Taxes, long term vs short term wherever you’re located

When you sell for a profit there are often larger gains taxes which is good to be aware of so you’re not shocked 😳

• Do you understand what taxing unrealized capital gains means?

You can’t tax anything that’s not liquid.

Wealthy People park millions in certain assets so they won’t be taxed on em 😏

• SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES - WE STANDIN ON BUSINESS:

BIG BOY BLUE CHIP (NO CAP) MEGACAP HYPER-SCALERS with an AMAZING UNDENIABLE HISTORICAL TRACK RECORD

• RESULTS > Opinions, BUSINESS PERFORMANCE > Market Manipulation, HISTORICAL DATA > Chatter

ORDER BOOK MANIPULATION

The order book is a critical tool for traders it shows the buy and sell orders for a stock and provides insight into supply, demand, and price action. But what happens when the order book is manipulated? Manipulators can use order book manipulation to deceive traders and control price movements, leaving unsuspecting retail traders at a disadvantage.

What Is Order Book Manipulation?

Order book manipulation is when traders or institutions place fake or deceptive orders to create a false impression of supply or demand. This can influence how retail traders view the stock and trick them into making poor decisions. These manipulative tactics don’t represent real buying or selling intent—they’re purely designed to mislead.

Common Order Book Manipulation Techniques

1. Spoofing
What it is: Placing large fake buy or sell orders to make it appear as if there is strong demand or supply at a specific price.

How it works: A manipulator places a large buy order below the current price or a large sell order above it. This creates the illusion that the price will move in a specific direction, influencing retail traders to follow suit. Once traders act, the manipulator cancels their fake orders.

Result: Retail traders buy or sell based on the fake momentum, allowing manipulators to execute their real trades at better prices.

2. Layering

What it is: Placing multiple orders at different price levels to create an artificial sense of market depth.

How it works: Manipulators stack the order book with fake orders at incremental price levels. For example, they may place several sell orders just above the current price to create the illusion of strong resistance. Retail traders, seeing the apparent supply, might sell or short, and the manipulator cancels their orders and buys at a lower price.

Result: Retail traders react to fake resistance or support levels, and the manipulator profits from the resulting price movement.

3. Iceberg Orders

What it is: Breaking up a large order into smaller, hidden portions to avoid showing true buying or selling interest.

How it works: A manipulator uses iceberg orders to disguise their large positions. For instance, they may break up a massive buy order into small pieces that only show incrementally on the order book. This can fool traders into thinking there’s little demand or supply until the price suddenly moves.

Result: Retail traders are caught off guard by the sudden price action caused by hidden orders.

4. Wash Trading

What it is: Simultaneously buying and selling the same stock to create the illusion of activity or momentum.

How it works: Manipulators execute trades between accounts they control. This inflates volume and creates the impression that the stock is in demand.

Result: Retail traders jump in, thinking the stock is active, but the volume is fake and unsustainable.

How Order Book Manipulation Impacts You

Manipulators use these tactics to:
Influence the price direction without real trades.
Trap retail traders into poor entries or exits.

Create fake support or resistance levels to control sentiment.

For example, you might see a huge buy wall (large order) appear in the order book, making you think the price won’t fall further. But just as you buy, the buy wall disappears, and the price tanks.

How to Protect Yourself

1. Don’t Trust the Surface:

Understand that not all orders in the book are genuine. Look for patterns of orders appearing and disappearing quickly.

2. Focus on Price Action:

The actual trades happening (not just the orders in the book) tell a more reliable story.

3. Be Cautious with Large Orders:

Huge orders at key levels can often be bait. Wait to see if they’re real before making a move.

4. Avoid Emotional Reactions:

Manipulators rely on emotional responses to fake signals. Stay calm and trade with a plan.
Order book manipulation is a sophisticated tactic used to deceive and exploit retail traders.

By understanding these techniques and staying cautious, you can avoid falling for the traps set by manipulators. Remember, the order book is just one toolit’s not always as honest as it seems.

Examples of where this type of manipulation may have taken place:

$Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (FFIE.US)$

$Primega Group (PGHL.US)$

$FOXO Technologies (FOXO.US)$
