Retail trader will never ever be kicked out. Retailers are the bread n butter for the Big guys. A big fish can not survive without small fish in the pond.
5 min, 10 min doesnt matter coz price will paint the same thing on all TF. Today, even if you take the 30 min TF, you will see that most of the candles are painting lower highs than the previous candles. Also you will notice on the first hourly candle the bias was to the downside.
That's where things go wrong for majority of the traders - TF does MATTER. Because everything, SL, RR, position sizing etc, hinges on it. A lower TF's TSL becomes higher TF's entry point. Give you example, on 8th sept around 3.15pm, I added to NF position at 7719 because my TF was showing some gas is still left in the move. Later here on this thread I saw someone posted 3 or 5 min chart showing his TSL hit around the same price. Next morning it was gap up and I sold all at the opening bell at 7834.
