My market alerts have been triggered several times as well. Regarding high-yield traders like Vida, it's important to view them rationally. Their success is due to skill and effort, but also luck and survivor bias—don't treat their track records as inevitable outcomes to learn from.

Here are a few of my own trading bottom lines: First, I never place large orders of 200,000 on small coins; the risk premium isn't worth that gamble. Second, for certain coins that are obviously being manipulated by capital pools (like typical pump-and-dump tactics), I choose to avoid them altogether. Third, 3 a.m. is when I sleep most soundly; I don't make decisions at this time to avoid systemic errors caused by fatigue. Fourth, before opening a position, I always check the depth data and adjust my strategy and leverage flexibly based on liquidity depth.

There are quite a few tricks to contract trading, and if you're interested, we can discuss practical details in depth.

Sleeping the deepest at 3 a.m. is such a detail, it's amazing. Me too, how many times I almost got caught in that time period. Now I just set a forbidden zone.

Haha, I totally agree with this one about sleeping soundly at 3 a.m. How many people have been liquidated just because their minds weren't clear at night?

Data shows that survivor bias accounts for 99% of the damage in the crypto circle. How much luck is involved in Vida's record is all up for question. That 3 a.m. post really got me, luckily some people know that fatigue trading is a sign of systematic liquidation. Honestly, for small altcoins with large orders of 200,000, I've seen too many accounts get wiped out directly because of this. The risk premium is simply not worth the cost. Deep data indeed determines life or death, but I bet 80% of people who place orders after seeing it haven't even looked at the data. The contract "dog-eating" strategy with multiple hammer signals—ultimately, they all end up with the same result: being educated by the market to accept it.

Survivorship bias is spot on; many people follow the trend of learning Vida only to end up losing everything. I also need to develop the habit of not trading at 3 a.m.; too many losses happen when you're exhausted and just start making random trades. That 200,000 big order in small coins is indeed a gamble with your life, not worth it.

Survivorship bias is perfectly explained here; so many people go all-in after seeing just two successful cases. I also need to develop the habit of not trading at 3 a.m.; fatigue trading has caused me losses too many times. I've fallen into the traps of small coins; a 200,000 large order is truly playing with fire.

Trading 200,000 in small coins is indeed seeking death No matter how deeply you sleep at 3 a.m., you must endure it; fatigue orders are the fastest way to make money Survivor bias—how many people have fallen for "learning from the big shots" Ignoring liquidity and just opening orders? Then prepare to be crushed Things like Vida, luck plays a major role; don't treat it as a textbook Contracts have many nuances, but you need to stay alive to talk about them
