What do you think about trading with institutions?

I've been diving into the world of trading lately and can't help but notice the massive influence institutions have on market movements. It seems like whenever they make a move, everything else shifts. I’m curious, how do you feel about their role in retail trading? Do you find it intimidating, or do you think there are ways we can leverage their activity to our advantage? I often hear traders say that following institutional money can give us a clearer picture of where the market is headed. I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences with this—any tips on how to read their signals or use their trends to our benefit?
