Let's talk about how to seize market opportunities. The core secret is actually two words: Reminder.

The first trick is small coin early warning. Set up short-term growth monitoring for small-cap coins in your holdings. Once the price shows abnormal surges, trigger a forced alert—so you won't miss it. Speed is crucial; often, you can react a few minutes in advance.

The second trick is even more aggressive. The price difference between spot and futures is like a gold mine for arbitrage. I also include funding rate changes in my monitoring system. As soon as the spot price and futures price deviate significantly, the system immediately notifies me. Such arbitrage opportunities are fleeting, and automatic alerts come in handy.

In short, don't rely solely on your eyes to watch the market; let tools monitor it for you. The biggest risk in trading is information lag and slow reaction.

Exactly, without alert tools now, it's like trading crypto blindfolded. Missing out on multi-fold coins happens every day. Setting up monitoring is indeed reliable. I've suffered from time lag before and will never trust my eyes again. To be honest, I'm still exploring arbitrage. When spot and futures prices have a large spread, it's easy to become greedy. I need to be more cautious. Automatic alerts have saved me several times. Sometimes my sleep quality is terrible, and I rely on this. The rate fee part is spot on. Many people don't pay attention to this, but actually, this is where real money opportunities lie. But to be fair, even the best tools require proper mental preparation; otherwise, no matter how many alerts you get, it's useless. Monitoring small coins really needs to be short-term. Long-term monitoring can cause numbness, making reactions slower by half a beat.

This set of logic indeed hits the mark, but the real challenge isn't setting the reminder—it's how quickly you can react in that very second when the reminder comes.

This reminder system sounds good, but the key is whether the thresholds you set are appropriate. I used to have it too sensitive to parameters, constantly bothered by false signals, so I eventually turned it off.

Enough, enough, it's that automatic reminder thing again... I just want to ask, no matter how many reminder signals you set, you can't prevent yourself from slipping up.
