# "Old Retail Trader's Final Battle: 5000U Survival Path" Day 6

**Today's Performance: -8 knives**

Damn it, this strategy feels too difficult to execute. The key to scalping is catching emotion and entry momentum, but when following the whales, they often pump to high levels instantly, and chips get dumped in seconds. High wear and tear but can't capture enough multiples to compensate for losses.

Tomorrow I'll try picking short-term targets instead. Won't chase the opening, but pick those that have pumped once, retraced to zero, and stabilized. I'll combine smart money tracking and whale address analysis to do small-scale testing.

Got two garbage accounts today from picking trash coins, and they've already turned profitable. Gotta keep picking through the garbage.
