The day before yesterday, Ethereum surged directly to 3030. I didn't hesitate and shorted 10 positions at the high, and finally, another wave of profits came in.

The longer you trade, the more you understand why those who truly make money never engage in signal-selling businesses—they neither run signal groups nor charge for guidance. The underlying logic is actually quite simple:

The first reason is straightforward: the profits from independent trading can't be compensated by service fees. Instead of being distracted by serving others, it's better to focus all your energy on your own trades, which can be more profitable.

Secondly, it's a matter of mindset. Once you start providing signals, you have to bear the pressure. When the market fluctuates and incurs losses, the followers begin to question and complain. These negative feedbacks can directly disrupt your trading rhythm and mental resilience.

Furthermore, there will always be a continuous stream of people chasing after the "next signal." This endless demand diverts your focus, making it easier for your trading plan to be broken.

The fourth point is the cost of living: to satisfy the high-frequency trading desires of small-cap users, you need to frequently operate various small coins. This means constantly monitoring the market all day, messing up your schedule, and both your body and mind can't handle it.

The last hidden cost is loneliness—the lack of truly like-minded people in the circle, making it impossible to inspire each other. Sometimes, you even start to doubt whether your trading theories are really feasible.

Honestly, the idea of sharing knowledge is there, but I haven't found an efficient and scientific way to do it.

If you can truly control your mindset, block out ineffective information, and gather a group of like-minded traders to improve together—turning trading into a mutually empowering activity—who wouldn't want to persist long-term?
