I've been struggling with this issue lately. Every day, I stare at the candlestick charts to make trades, afraid to miss the right entry points, and holding tightly to the right moments to close positions. Even when I take a break to play some games and relax, my mind is still filled with market行情.

But look at those traders who create content—how are they so composed? They trade during the day, review a few strategies in their free time, write in-depth analysis articles, and even do live streams at night to take orders, answering fans' questions perfectly. Some of them even make consistent profits while acting as mentors, turning order-taking into a second income source.

When SOL's行情 surged, many experts emerged like this—they maintained strong execution of trading and successfully built themselves into opinion leaders. How do they split their focus? Is their trading talent simply better than others, or do they not have to worry about all this like I do?

Same high-frequency trading, same chart watching and data analysis—why is the gap so big? Sometimes I think about trying this approach too, but then I realize I haven't fully mastered my current set of trades. It’s really exhausting.

I think they might not be paying close attention to the market at all, just relying on talk to generate traffic. Honestly, managing trades is way too complicated. Sometimes I wonder if creating content is faster money than trading. No, wait, why would stable profit-makers bother with live streaming? I'm starting to doubt the trading results of those "opinion leaders." It's just different roles, nothing mysterious about it. You need to adjust this mindset, or you'll never catch up.

To be honest, I'm the kind of person who watches the charts until my eyes blur. Seeing others make money and become internet celebrities does make me a bit envious. But then I think, maybe they've already mastered the trading logic, while I'm still struggling with when to cut my losses.

Haha, stop messing around. Nine out of ten of those people are master talkers, and stable trading is a load of crap. Compared to watching the charts, they're better at watching fans' wallets. You're spreading your energy too thin. Be careful not to end up with nothing on both sides. Focus on one direction, and don't blindly follow others' tricks.

Honestly, it's a mindset issue. You're worried about how others split their time, but they've already accepted that they are busy with this thing. It's really not that mysterious; some people are naturally suited for creating content, while others just want to focus on trading. There's no need to imitate others' methods.

Honestly, reading this article is a bit of a punch to the gut... I've seen through the whole set of making money by leading trades a long time ago. The key is still to know how to package yourself. Just knowing how to trade isn't enough; you have to be able to tell stories, only then will fans buy in. Staring at the screen until you develop nervous breakdowns—this kind of business is inherently suspicious. Some people consistently profit? I think 80% of them are just surviving on lead trade fees, while actual trading profits are more like a side hustle. When SOL rises, everyone is a master; wait for the pullback to see who can still smile. Instead of splitting yourself, it's better to first perfect your own trading skills. Once the content is good, it becomes easier; the core of trading is actually being diluted. Those who put in more effort often lose more—ironic, isn't it?

Speaking of which, those guys who produce content while trading, nine out of ten probably have a fan base and popularity to keep their mindset stable. Otherwise, who can truly multitask? No, I think maybe we're overcomplicating it. They probably make enough money from trading to be carefree, so they have the energy to mess around with other things. Creating content... really a trap, once you start, you can't stop. It's more addictive than watching the market. Honestly, I've been stuck here for a long time, feeling like maybe I'm just not cut out for this. More and more people are playing this game, but the quality is getting worse. I don't know how many years it can last. Maybe I'm just too greedy, wanting to trade steadily while envying others' followers and side income.

Oh, this is just a mindset issue. Those who are truly making money no longer care about every point. --- Honestly, people who stare at the market every day are often in a losing mindset. --- I think the key isn't talent, but a different psychological mindset. Others have long broken free from obsessions. --- Content output is indeed a fast track to monetization, but the prerequisite is having some solid track record. --- It looks very relaxed, but in fact, they've already found their rhythm. We're still exploring. --- That wave of SOL definitely created many bloggers, but it also buried more people trying to copy. --- It's not about cloning, just different stage goals. Making money and becoming famous are two different things. --- Feeling tired is a sign you haven't figured it out yet. True relaxation is still ahead. --- Instead of envying others' strategies, it's better to first straighten out your own trading logic. --- That's a good question, but the answer might make you even more tired.

To be honest, this is a classic case of survivor bias, buddy. You see those traders shining in the live stream, but you haven't seen how many have died behind the scenes.

Staring at the screen until my mind goes blank, I totally understand this feeling. But I think those people might not be using any kind of clone technique at all; they just treat trading as a secondary business, with their main income already shifted to their fans.
