Beware of market traps: what you see is not always what happens

In the world of trading, even professionals can fall victim to market illusions. How many times have we seen a bullish breakout that deceives traders into believing that the price is heading towards the peak, so they enter with confidence... only for the price to suddenly collapse and trigger a stop loss?
The same thing happens with popular technical patterns like head and shoulders, which may mislead into thinking a reversal in direction is occurring, but in reality, the model is false and the price continues to rise!
On platforms like MetaTrader or those that rely on CFDs (, the problem is greater. Because trading does not take place in the real market, but within the platform itself, the market maker becomes your opponent... and the referee at the same time.
The price you see may not reflect the true global price, but rather the price the platform wants you to see. Sometimes, a slight delay in execution or a small difference in price may be enough to turn profit into loss.
How do you protect yourself?
Don't rely solely on technical analysis... Confirm it with fundamental analysis or real liquidity.
Do not trade during strong news... The microns control the market then.
Do not make your stop loss exposed and easy to trap.
Use flexible trading plans, and always be ready for scenario changes.
In the end: perception is the key to survival... not everything that appears on the screen is the truth.
