If you havent done the homework, its rigged based on certain factors how they play it by.
Since most of the stuff is based on their own terms, like insider info, or something else thats off the books.
A normal trader going into the market using a thinkorswim account will get killed, not having a edge.

Insider trading is not the norm.
People do get prosecuted and go to jail for insider trading - think of Raj Rajaratnam and Rajat Gupta.
It is just not worth it for people in important positions to make use of insider information.
People who got caught on doing inside trades are only tip of the iceberg. We are living in the dark and kept behind the curtains of big movements all the time.
Stock market were manipulated by a whales since the beginning, and no control commission for securities will gonna cut these dealings.

Think about all of the "wealth" stored 401k's and IRA's that cannot be moved without penalty. Using law to discourage divestment from the markets, only inflates it further, allowing more loans against this theoretical value, and so on....

Is this rigged, or just the natural development creative financial, economic, and political desire?
this is a logical dead end, within the monetary paradigm of the development of financial technologies before the advent of the blockchain

Yes. Stock market's rigged. By a combination of these stock exchanges, the big Wall Street banks and high-frequency traders. Everybody who has an investment in the stock market are the victims.

Rigged is not accurate word to describe stock market. Enough to say we all know that there are some movements hidden from general public and certain deals are done behind the curtain.
Market is highly manipulated and exploited, if you are a newbie or have no idea how things works then you may feel like the whole system is rigged.

Market manipulation is a punishable offence.
A few even get jail terms for it.
A trader who caused a crash in 2010 was arrested in 2015.  Tongue

every market where people can make millions/billions is rigged. the stock market is definitely not an exception. the elite is always 5 steps ahead of the rest. without a doubt there is also a lot insider trading. that's how you can make billions of profit per year. we as normal traders only play with crumbs.

The wealthy can manipulate the market.  Also I have heard that stock trading companies are pressured to advise their clients in certain way to benefit certain companies rather than to benefit the client or more likely advise clients to make trades just to increase the fees for the stock company.  These are ways the market is rigged against us little guys.

Stock prices are artificially propped up with all the at QE money the banks decided to hoard

There is no good investment for the banks, so they have to hoard the money. If they invest, they will make a loss.

these auctions it is hard to call a market, but having the same principles and tools, but having very little at the moment, legal material, professional start trading, what is to happen in semi-automatic mode and hard called trading on the exchange and having circulation in the world, when fitting pictures anyway, all eyes turn here and that there is little that resembles what used to people who speak about direct exchange activity, although the beginnings of the industry are traced, although

Its been rigged for the longest lol.

But you gotta see it as a same level of playing field in the sense of your approach, just study what the "enron" documentary did.

They made up their own rules, then went public - they always positioned themself to win, regardless if they cheated out so many people. Thats the core with every person like those pennystocks doing pump and dump.

Obviously it is rigged. Big put options on defense stocks and certain airlines were executed the week leading up to 9/11. I'm talking about a billion or more in trades.

...

Every market is rigged to some degree or other.  The amount of rigging and its effects on the small trader depend on the particular market (gold is very rigged), HFT (mentioned up-thread), whatever any manipulators think they can get away with (legal or not), etc., etc.  There are so many scams in the financial markets, so many ways the Insiders milk the rest of us...

I suspect that there is rigging in BTC markets as well, though I have no evidence to offer.

One way to deal with it is to not play their game.

Buy and hold gold, don't trade it.

Buy and HODL BTC, don't trade it.

Buy and hold quality stocks (companies with low debt for example), don't trade them.

Rookies who trade will get scalped.
