# JCT Brothers, really don’t easily follow along. When you see other people showing how many times their returns are, it doesn’t mean you’re seeing the whole picture. Other people might have two or even more accounts—one to show you, and another where they truly build the position, add to it, and take profits.
Even before they started showing their returns, they may have already planned everything out. What you see is the “result.” And when you jump in, you might already be part of the liquidity pool that someone else is using to offload. And not to mention that behind some people, there could be the project team, a market maker, or other interest-based partnerships—you have no idea why they’re calling out this coin, or when they’re planning to leave.
So I’ve always felt that copy-trading is the easiest way to create illusions. It’s better to use some spare money you can afford to lose to buy small-cap altcoin spot that you can understand. Don’t borrow money, don’t add leverage. First grow your principal to double, then just hold the remaining position slowly. If it goes up, don’t rush to chase. If it drops, don’t cut just because someone says a line.
You don’t need to guess what the market maker will do next—you only need to make sure you have enough chips and enough time.
This is what I understand as “dancing with the market maker.” It’s not running around with them, but using time to keep pace with them.
