I’ve traded almost every market except maybe Soy beans, pork, bonds, yields, etc and what I’ve learnt is that almost every market is manipulated. Whether it’s big or small. It doesn’t matter.

And the degree of difficulty to trade it is also the same whether you are trading crypto, stocks or bonds. There is no market that’s easier to trade than another. Stocks are perhaps good if you hold them long term like a retirement account however most people trade them short term and lose money.
