Many retail investors don't understand that the long and short positions in the market actually originate from the same group of people—professional main players. They are not strictly opposing sides; rather, it's a sophisticated game of capital.



Let's look at a real case: a main trader manages 100 million in funds, with a simple strategy—50 million long, 50 million short. When market sentiment heats up and buying pressure strengthens, they immediately cut the short positions. Large short positions are closed en masse, naturally triggering follow-up buying. At the same time, short squeeze forces from liquidations further push up the price, making it easier to close shorts.

After halving the short positions, they then start to systematically close the longs. The final result: long gains > short losses, net profit for the account. Then they move into the next balanced price range, reopen both sides, and repeat this logic once the market trend becomes clearer.

This is the secret to the main players' success—don't bet on the direction, only on the market rhythm. Risk is controlled within 0.5%, with a win rate approaching 100%. Retail investors always want to follow the winning team, but the main players have long been controlling both sides.

Wow, isn't this the standard routine of cutting leeks... Retail investors are always the ones taking the fall.

Really, retail investors are still debating long or short, while the big players have already trapped you on both sides to fleece you.

Wow, this is the real art of cutting leeks. Both sides are making money while we're still debating long and short. No wonder we're losing so quickly.

Awakened, the main force doesn't need to gamble on ups and downs at all, they just rely on harvesting the leeks to win every time.

This is the real way to harvest the little guys—profiting while losing, as long as the net profit is achieved.
