Real learning from copy trading: you don't copy the trader's loss percentage... you copy their exposure. For them, a -5% might seem "normal," but on a small account, that same trade can feel like -20%. My rule: I look at MDD + leverage before ROI. And yes: I prefer to copy traders with less money in their account because it resembles my scale.#copytrade #Copytrading
$BTC Many indicators say "BTC is rising". But the price does not rise because of "signals"... it rises when it has already taken the liquidity.
📌 What is liquidity (in simple terms): It is where the stops and accumulated orders are. If many people have their stop below 84k, there is "easy money" to sweep.
🧠 My reading: Before continuing to rise, BTC could drop to ~84k to: ✅ sweep stops (take out weak longs) ✅ fill large orders ✅ "clear" the path
Indicators = what it seems. Liquidity = what the market collects first.

The day I understood that my best trade was not a blessing... it was a trap
Some time ago, I was trading normally: $20, $30, $40 per movement. Small, calm profits, within what my mind could handle without breaking.
Until one day I entered ZEC.
It didn’t seem like a special trade, but suddenly it exploded in my favor. When I looked at the screen I was +$300 up.
And that’s when everything changed.
That trade not only gave me money. It gave me a new... and wrong expectation. My mind started telling me: "If you did it once, do it again. And again. And again."
Then the ugly part came:
Hasty entries. Greed disguised as "confidence." Drawdowns I was not prepared to endure. The market gave me exactly the hit I needed to understand something basic:
You cannot chase a profit for which you are not emotionally ready. Your best trade can be your worst teacher.
Because winning $300 is easy. The hard part is to endure a loss of the same size without losing your mind.
That day I did an internal reset. I returned to my real size, to my process, to my discipline. And from there —without hurry and without greed— I started to truly grow.
Today I am clear: I do not trade to replicate a stroke of luck. I trade to become the person capable of sustaining large profits... without destroying myself in the attempt.
FOMO is your worst enemy in trading. If you already saw the train, you knew it was your entry... and you let it go, accept it. Don't try to jump when it's already in motion: putting your foot halfway only serves to get you stuck and lose more.
The market always gives new opportunities. What it doesn't forgive is chasing one that has already passed.
