First the first question you need to ask yourself is, where does the money I earn come from, or, where does the money I lose in the financial markets come from.
In trying to understand the manipulation of financial markets, the most important thing is to know where not to land.
This is very deep I would say and I'm already digesting it for better understanding, well if what you have pointed out here is sure to enable one succeed in trading then it's fine but majorly you were speaking from someone who must have experienced a failed trade and investment and you think the big people in it are just luring us to gain from us why we lose, but I don't see it that way because I'm every markets you tend to indulge yourself it requires losses and profits and also time and patience to outrun that and another thing that will definitely enable one to always run into liquidity is lack of skills and knowledge for trading in particular, because those popular guys they must have invested in learning to know how the trades works and they often learn new strategies that's what I understand.
