I have always appreciated that analyst's theoretical framework and have been following their research for a long time. The several trading principles they summarized are indeed reasonable, and I have also fallen into many of these traps myself, so I have deep personal experience.

However, later I decided to actually try out their trading approach—long positions, short positions, and even those ultra-short-term quick in and out strategies. The result? I lost everything, haha, that period was a real life lesson.

After this experience, I gradually understood a truth: trading, no matter how much experience and models you listen to, ultimately depends on your own exploration in the market. Others' methodologies can only serve as reference frameworks; whether you make money or not depends on your ability to adapt flexibly to actual market conditions.

(If the theoretical big brother sees this, no other meaning intended, just sharing my practical experience.)

Talking about strategy on paper and actual trading are completely different things. I’ve also been caught off guard before. Copying others’ routines easily leads to pitfalls; the market changes too quickly. No matter how many theories from big influencers you listen to, in the end, you still have to explore on your own. That’s growth. Losing money is the best teacher, haha. This feels like the real trading insight, not just pretty theories on paper. Practical experience is the only way to gain true knowledge; the experiences of predecessors are only for reference.

Talking about strategy on paper and real combat are two different things. I've also been liquidated before. No one can copy someone else's account. Your risk tolerance, entry timing, and mindset are all different. This guy is right, just copy and you'll be fine, but you'll suffer huge losses. The theory is just theory; the market changes in an instant. If your reaction speed isn't fast enough, you'll still go bankrupt. Finding a rhythm that suits you is the key. Don't blindly trust big influencers.

No matter how perfect the theory is, you'll still mess up when you get on. Ultimately, you have to fall a few times yourself to understand.

Talking about strategies on paper is ultimately just on paper; the market is the harshest teacher after all.

Talking about strategies on paper and actual trading are two different things. No matter how strict the rules are, you have to verify them yourself; otherwise, you're just feeding others as a rookie.

Talking about tactics on paper and actual trading are two different things. I've been trapped several times too. Copying others' strategies blindly will eventually lead to heavy losses; you need to find your own rhythm.
