The speaker (Kosta Ouzas) argues that markets follow a repeated pattern where liquidity is first taken from lows (sweeping longs), then highs (sweeping shorts), after which market makers balance the market and reveal the true direction. This sequence is presented as intentional, structural, and analogous to a casino collecting both sides; retail traders lose because their obvious entries and stops sit where the "house" expects them to be, so they effectively pay a house edge rather than merely being wrong.

For every major move, you'll notice the same pattern. First we sweep the lows, taking that long liquidity. And then we go and sweep the highs, taking all that short liquidity. And then the market is going to be balanced by the market makers, bringing it to its true, real direction. Now, this is not random. This is not noise. This is the casino collecting both sides before the wheel then spins for real. Retail traders lose, not because they're wrong, but because their entries and stop losses sit exactly where the house expects them to be. Imagine walking into a casino and betting red. Every time because the chart looks bullish, the house smiles. Because they don't need to beat you. The structure will. You are not losing trades. You are paying the house edge. This is why trading can feel rigged, because structurally, it actually is.
