Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video by Kosta Ouzas (published Oct 31, 2025) discussing trading psychology and strategy. Speakers warn listeners not to be part of the crowd that provides "exit liquidity," claim both long and short traders are losing, and promote algorithmic strategies that can profit in both market directions.

Don't be a part of the crowd that's just feeding this cycle of losses over and over again. Because remember guys, the long players are losing and the short players, but don't be a part of that. Exit liquidity.
And what's so powerful about the algo is that you can make money like you can make money in both directions. That's how you're going to enjoy the game right now. The algorithm allows you to make money with the price going down, but with a long only strategy, you don't want to be playing the long and short game.
