Most retail investors simply copy the trading rules of experts, which is actually no different from infantry holding top-tier swordsmanship secrets—ultimately risking obsession and potentially suffering even greater losses.

Those traders with annual returns outperforming the market and the legendary zero-cost arbitrage accounts are among the rarest monsters. The top 0.001% accounts on exchanges are at this level.

Even more heartbreaking, a large number gave up halfway—accounts shrinking, principal lost even more. Want to reverse your fortunes by copying others' strategies? First ask yourself if you have the capital to afford the trial and error.
