I never believe in the appearance of account data. True trading ability is reflected in the quality of each entry decision.

My strategy is simple: I don't need to open positions frequently, but each move is a well-thought-out position—this non-overtrading mindset runs throughout. Got the market wrong? No problem, cut losses immediately and admit defeat, with no luck-based psychology. The cost of doing this is that the account curve won't be particularly dazzling, but win rate and risk control speak for themselves.

Now I am just waiting, waiting for the next wave of real opportunities. Some traders rely on frequent trades to pile up data, but they often pay the price in the end. I choose to seek steady wins—rather than pursuing short-term flashy returns, I focus on long-term sustained profitability.

Fellow traders, don't be fooled by short-term data; looking at long-term performance is the true standard to evaluate a trading system. Keep going.

There's nothing wrong with that, but to be honest... there are too many people looking at on-chain charts for trading signals. A single beautiful equity curve screenshot can fool a bunch of people into copying trades, right? True signals need to be dug out from on-chain behavior, not just by staring at those flashy dashboards.

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but many people just won't listen. The group that posts daily screenshots should really take a look at their own accounts.

This is the difference—those who truly make money never show their accounts --- People who cut losses decisively are the ones who survive in the end --- Ten out of nine people who post daily trading screenshots are probably fake --- I believe in waiting for the right opportunity; it's more reliable than randomly opening trades --- A high win rate is much more important than a flashy return rate; many people don't understand this principle --- The old way of frequent trading is long outdated; if you're still stacking orders now, you should really reflect --- Not holding onto losing trades is the most ruthless; most people can't do it --- Having a nice account curve is useless; when drawdowns happen, you'll still get liquidated --- This is what trading logic is about, not a gambling mentality --- Waiting itself is a skill; not many people see through this

Deepwater fish, I agree with not showcasing account curves. Too many people ruin themselves by playing in the endless cycle of flaunting data. That's right, the quality of real trades is the true guarantee of survival; the frequent trading approach should have been phased out long ago. This is the essence of prudent trading, it may not sound sexy, but it can ensure longevity.

That's right, it's all about this vibe. The group that frequently opens orders has already blown up; who still cares about how the account curve looks?

That's right, opening orders frequently is really suicidal. I've seen too many flashy accounts end up losing everything in the end.

Really, I admire most that you don't hold onto losing positions. I've seen too many people stubbornly hold until liquidation, no matter how good their account curve looks. That's right, frequent trading is just gambling, not trading. This is what I've always been doing—waiting for opportunities rather than reckless trading to earn more. Good data doesn't necessarily mean sustainable profits; not many people understand this principle. There's nothing to be ashamed of in accepting losses and cutting losses; staying alive is the key to continuing to earn.

That's exactly what I've been saying. Good-looking data is useless; you'll have to pay it back sooner or later.
