The operation of high-frequency trading accounts has been ongoing for 41 to 43 days, and my recent feelings are quite complicated.

The followers are gradually withdrawing, and those who remain are mostly in a loss. After taking a careful look around, the fundamental reason is still that my trading style is not very suitable for copying targets—trading non-mainstream coins, extremely high entry and exit frequency, and inconsistent win rates. Many times I make a profit myself, but the followers end up losing. Ultimately, the serious slippage issue is the root cause; the other party simply cannot react in time. To be honest, those who follow me should think carefully.

Recently, I have a clear feeling: the trading volume of mainstream coins is shrinking rapidly. Looking at this round of market movement that has lasted so long, according to conventional logic, the longer the sideways movement, the greater the potential for a breakout. But no one can say for sure whether it will break upward or fall downward.

Oh, the high-frequency trading strategy is indeed a trap; slippage can really drive people crazy. Copy trading crashing is normal operation; a slight lag in reaction speed can lead to a complete failure. Are mainstream coins not trading much anymore? Then we just have to wait, no rush anyway. Bro, your self-reflection this time is quite honest, much better than those who shift blame. To be honest, non-mainstream coins are not suitable as copy trading targets at all; the pace is too fast to keep up. It's been consolidating for so long, it feels like it's about to move, but I don't know where it will surge. It's quite heartbreaking; I made a profit, but the copy traders still lost money, which is really outrageous.

Slippage killing is real, it's the fate of high-frequency traders. Those who enjoy the gains from copying trades are the ones suffering. Wait for this consolidation to end and see if we can get a decent market move. Honestly, I still have a conscience, but then again, who in this market can completely avoid risks? The shrinking volume of mainstream coins is indeed abnormal, a silence before a big move? Non-mainstream coins frequently enter and exit, maybe try a different approach or keep sharpening the sword. This is the inherent contradiction between high-frequency trading and copy trading. Technology is innocent, and the market is unpredictable.

Slippage issues are indeed incredible; this is the inherent contradiction of high-frequency trading.

Haha, this honesty is incredible. Being able to openly admit to earning while others lose is quite rare. Slippage killer indeed. High-frequency traders are definitely not suitable to be copy trading dads. The market has been sideways for so long, it feels like a move is coming, but I don't know whether it will go up or down.

Haha, honesty is what it is. Slippage killing is no joke at all. Copy trading is just not suitable for high-frequency traders; the rhythm simply doesn't match. How's this sideways movement holding up? Feels like we're just waiting for a big move.
