Hey, after doing so many copycat projects for so long with some profit, I felt indifferent. These past two days, I lost $4,000 on PP and TEMA. The monthly profit has been wiped out, and I am still $1,500 in the red.
So I have come to a realization:
Short-term copycat trading is actually very difficult. It’s not just about analysis, but also involves spread erosion, liquidity, market makers, and other complex issues. It’s already decided that retail traders entering copycat trading are doomed to be the weaker side.
I plan to change my trading style. This account will focus on mid-term trading, controlling drawdowns, and pursuing stable profits.
I will also allocate a small amount of funds to open a new account for independent short-term trading.
This account has lost $4,000 over the past two days on PP and TEMA. The net loss for this month’s contracts is $1,500, the net profit from spot trading is $700, and the overall net loss is $700.
The second account has no TEMA, only a $1,000 loss on PP. Currently, this month’s net profit is $900.
The third account also only trades on PP and has a net profit of $200 so far.
In total, the net profit for the month is $400.
Before yesterday, my net income for this month was $5,900😇.
So, friends, it’s crucial to control drawdowns and avoid over-participating in scam short-term trades.
