This is what trading means. It is all trading can ever offer you

In the immortal words of mark douglas, "thats what trading is all about as a passive technical trader. Unless you're doing some other stuff, I said it all right then and there."

If you're doing anything other than this, you're not trading, you're gambling.

It doesnt sound as nice as a get rich quick scheme? Too bad. This is all trading is. This is all trading can or ever will offer you. Try and make this into anything else and you'll get ran over. Not by "manipulation" or some "whales" that you blame, but by your own lack of understanding.
