Beyond market downturns, what functionality issues really get under your skin when you're actively trading? What's worth fixing?

More specifically—walk me through your actual workflow. Do you manually juggle multiple platforms and apps just to execute trades, or do you let the tools handle it end-to-end? What redundant steps are you still doing by hand when the software could theoretically do it all?

Honestly, the most annoying thing isn't the market downturn, but these exchange APIs disconnect at the slightest disagreement, forcing you to manually refresh and re-enter orders... Those few seconds of delay can sometimes be the start of losses. --- Different platforms have inconsistent wallet address formats, so every cross-chain transfer requires careful confirmation, for fear of sending to a black hole. Automation tools simply can't make this judgment for you. --- The most despairing part is having to check balances on multiple exchanges one by one. There's still no truly reliable aggregation dashboard... Every time I want to quickly check a position, I have to switch five or six apps, and my brain gets overwhelmed. --- When the market is good, I can't react fast enough; manually adjusting leverage and stop-losses can never keep up with price fluctuations. Unfortunately, most tools are too basic. --- Honestly, the most frustrating part is KYC and withdrawal reviews. These processes that should be automated are actually the slowest, and it's really exhausting.

The thing I hate the most is having to switch between three or four apps every time I trade, causing delays that almost cost me the entire position.

To be honest, the most annoying thing isn't the market trend, but those damn delays and slippage... Manually integrating across platforms is really exhausting. I still have to use three or four apps to complete an order. It's hard to believe no one has solved this issue yet these days.

Oh, you're so right. UI/UX really can drive you crazy, especially during intense market volatility. --- I still have to manually switch between three apps; a few seconds of delay can wipe out my profits. --- The most annoying thing is those messy pop-ups for order confirmations; they can easily lead to accidental clicks. --- It feels like automation tools are hyped up but full of pitfalls, so I might as well do it myself. --- Why isn't there an app that integrates market data, funds, and positions all in one place... --- API integrations are so terrible, often disconnecting, making me more hopeless than a market downturn.

Really, switching between multiple platforms is so annoying. Every time I place an order, I have to manually copy and paste the address. If I make a mistake with a decimal point, it's all over.

The most annoying thing for me is the delay in placing orders and the hassle of transferring between exchanges... I have to manually confirm two or three times each time before I dare to click. Who designed this?
