Do people still use trenching as a trading tactic in this market cycle? Or has it become outdated with today's liquidity conditions and algorithmic trading dominance? Curious if anyone's actually profiting from it anymore or if we've moved on to different strategies.

Some people are really playing the trench digging set, but the profits are indeed lower, mainly eaten up by robots.

The digging of trenches has long been exploited by big account algorithms. Retail investors still playing this game are really just asking for trouble.

ngl, per my analysis the whole "ditch digging" framing is taxonomically incorrect for what's actually happening rn... let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick because statistically speaking, retail still gets liquidated trying this lmao

The trench digging setup has already been overrun by machines; those still using it are all newbies, right?

The term "digging trenches" has long been overused by bots. Through research and analysis, 90% of retail investors simply can't keep up with the rhythm. The key is to watch the movements of the big whale wallet addresses—that's where the real money is.

The trench digging game has long been manipulated by big funds. Retail investors still using it are just getting harvested.
