Mastering operational techniques doesn't necessarily make you a top trader.
In a market where existing funds are competing against each other, those who imitate experts but lack skill often end up becoming the liquidity providers for others—being harvested. Truly capable players who can master this approach are few and far between, and the competition is intensely fierce.
Just look at my trading records over the past few days, and you'll see how disastrous they are. Operations that seem simple on the surface can be decided by subtle differences in execution. A one-second delay in timing or a slight difference in position size can lead to vastly different outcomes. This isn't something you can just learn by studying; it takes real skill.

Missing by one second is missing by one hundred million, got it.

Oh my God, another story of being exploited. But it's true—learning the technology is easy, but executing it is really difficult.

You're right, that's why so many people still suffer heavy losses despite learning a bunch of indicators.
Missing just one second can turn a double into a liquidation; I've experienced it too.
The key is that most people simply lack the market intuition and psychological resilience.
Execution ability is the most scarce skill.

Ah, this is why the worst losses I experienced were always when I copied others' strategies.
One second too late and it's gone, so frustrating.
The biggest loss was the time I thought I understood everything.
Mentality and execution are really the true differences.
Watching others make money easily, but I struggle when I try to do it myself.

Ha, this is the painful lesson I've learned over the past few years. Missing the liquidation by one second, missing a level and getting liquidated. What else is there to learn?

I'll be direct, missing a second is really deadly, which is why I often get exposed.
