The Truth About Trading: How Institutions, Brokers & Prop Firms Profit Off Retail Traders
📍 Key Takeaways from This Course
✅ 1. Brokers and Funded Accounts Are NOT on Your Side
Most brokers profit when you lose—they're betting against you.
Funded accounts are designed for you to fail, keeping you trapped in an endless cycle of resets.
Your goal? Stop playing their game and start playing like an institution.
✅ 2. The Retail Trading Industry is Full of Lies
Most trading educators are marketers, not traders.
IB agreements = educators getting paid when you lose.
The “forex guru” flexing Lambos? That’s not from trading, it’s from selling courses.
✅ 3. Retail Traders Lose Because They Follow the Herd
The real game is played by institutions and banks.
Smart money does the opposite of what retail traders do.
If you want to win, you have to think and trade like the professionals.
📍 How to Apply This Knowledge Right Now
🔹 Start Tracking Broker Behavior – Notice spreads widening before news events? Stop hunts happening at key levels? Start paying attention.
🔹 Develop a Strategy That Avoids Retail Traps – No more gambling on indicators that brokers love (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands).
🔹 Think Like an Institution – Trade with logic, not emotions. Look for where the smart money is moving, not where retail traders are getting baited.
🔑 Final Words:
You’ve made it this far, and now you know how the game is really played. The question is: Are you going to keep falling for the retail traps, or are you going start trading like the ones winning?
