blaming losses on market manipulation will never make u a better trader - even if it’s true, your job is to factor that into the equation and position for it. rather than being angry at someone else, it’s a better use of your time to figure out where you went wrong and then figure out how you’re going to bounce from it. personally i thought i lowered my risk significantly from what it was at the end of summer, thought my book was setup cautiously but i still suffered a bit drawdown from the highs (and it all looks rather obvious in hindsight) no point being sad or angry, sometimes ur just wrong, gotta take it on the chin, stay alive and figure out what’s next.
