Making money is really hard, and some things are even harder to say out loud.

Do you know how many users a certain top-tier exchange has? Over 350 million. But just look at the live trading leaderboard — only traders who can consistently earn 20,000 USDT in 30 days barely make it into the top 100. The competition is that fierce.

But now, the screen is full of "perpetual profit masters" who have no real trading records. Sometimes they call for a short, sometimes for a long, but their own accounts have nothing in them. Yet they claim every day that they can help you fly. The logic is simple:

If you get lucky and copy their trades to make money? "See, my strategy is so precise!" If you lose? "Blame it on you not setting strict stop-losses, not listening to me." Then every now and then, they post a screenshot of an Ant Wallet with hundreds of percentage points of floating profit, and you have to scream along, "So awesome, bro!"

Repeating this cycle, followers' principal gradually disappears into the market. When their accounts hit rock bottom, this "big V" still has a trick — offering some rebates to comfort you, making you think there’s still hope to turn things around.

This is just a good show in the trading circle. Truly capable people have long been known on the live trading leaderboard.
