A trader who understands this game can trade with Smart Money and capture a portion of their movement while limiting risk.
All successful Retail traders have a trading plan and trade patiently and sparingly. They let their trading plan play out without undue stress or micromanagement and this is primarily due to the psychological conditioning which they developed from live trading experience. When a trader has the right mindset they tend to do the right thing at the right time and this improves their trading results dramatically. This is a function of experience and skill and not a function of a trader's "strategy". A simple Retail strategy will not profit against sophisticated algorithms. The solution to this problem does not lie in endlessly searching
for a better strategy or studying more technical analysis and reading more trading books. Figuring out how the algorithms are influencing (moving) price and trading against the herd is the key to success in modern financial markets.
Although Smart Money has most of the advantages they also have a weakness. Due to the size of their huge position they must accumulate (buy) and distribute (sell) their position over time. They have no choice but to leave clues and footprints in the charts. Experienced traders can use these clues to limit their risk and trade at locations where the risk to reward is on their side. A Retail trader can also enter and exit the market at any time. This comes in handy when trading with algorithms which need to buy and sell in certain ways to prevent putting up the price against their own buying or selling. Although algorithmic movement appears to be totally random and impossible to follow these algorithms move in a very deliberate, intentional way. This movement can be exploited if a trader understands how the market is structured and how these algos tend to move price against other traders.
