In this segment, Jesse Rogers (the 9‑figure trader) breaks down a common market micro‑structure scenario where a large block of orders at the 90 price level is suddenly removed, leaving the order book thin. He explains that this liquidity pull forces buyers to decide whether to keep pushing the price higher, and if they hesitate, the earlier buyers become trapped as the price falls. Rogers then highlights two prevalent trader errors: buying every upward spike hoping for a breakout and shorting every downward dip expecting a breakdown. These behaviors repeatedly erode accounts. Instead, he advocates abandoning price‑prediction attempts and focusing on a disciplined risk‑reward framework: place a bet where the potential reward is several times the risk, accept that market direction is uncontrollable, and back the position with conviction. The core message is that proper framing of risk and reward, coupled with patience, yields better odds than chasing price moves.

So we can see we had 100 orders sitting at 90 and those orders got tapped into and then they vanished. That liquidity has been pulled out of the book. Now it's up to buyers. Like right now it's up to buyers to decide if they want to keep pushing beyond 90. It's up to them to continue putting their foot on the gas. And if they fail to do so, you know, all those orders that traded up into there are going to become trapped if we start hitting lower and lower and lower. So think, guys, like how many people, how many, you know, degenerates were buying every spike up into there thinking it's going to break out? And shorting every drop in at the bottom, think it's going to break down. That's how you chop up your accounts. Like, that's how you blow accounts over and over and over again instead of just taking your time, making a bet, not trying to predict, just making a bet. This is where the odds are in my favor. This is my risk. I know that my reward is multiples larger and then waiting to see what happens. But like, we don't have control over what the market's going to do. It's not a prediction game. It's, it's all about just framing risk and reward and then placing some conviction behind that idea.
