#数字资产动态追踪 Following Orders - Two Months of Practical Summary
Recently, I’ve been following traders for two consecutive months, rotating through 6-10 traders, stepping into many pitfalls, and also figuring out some tricks. Here are my insights:
**Time Inspection is the First Line of Defense** Newcomers are most easily fooled by short-term explosive profits. Those who have only been trading for a dozen days are usually just re-opened accounts after a margin call, playing the comeback story. Truly reliable traders should have at least 60 days of historical records—this shows they have survived at least two months of volatile markets, and this stability is earned with real money.
**Names and Signatures Reflect a Person’s Mindset** Titles like "Crypto Genius," "10x Profit Secret," "Master of Enlightenment"… These exaggerated titles are usually luck-based. My rule is: the more exaggerated the account’s claims, the faster it will blow up. Even if you get lucky and make money at first, a market wave will eventually expose the truth, and you’ll be the one paying the price.
**Maximum Drawdown Is the True Test** Any record of a drawdown exceeding 50% should ring alarm bells. Professional traders strictly implement stop-losses and generally keep losses within 30%. If losses break this threshold, it’s either reckless gambling or a lack of risk awareness.
**Capital Ratio Reveals True Intentions** Observe the margin of the order signals and the funds in the copy-trading account. If you see small funds backing large orders, be cautious—this could be a setup where two accounts are manipulating each other to cause the follower to lose, transferring profits to another account. This trick is quite common.
**Very Large Accounts Also Have Risks** Traders with margins of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions should not be followed. Such large volumes are easily targeted by market manipulators, facing precise sniping. Even the strongest traders cannot withstand being hunted by big funds.
**One Margin Call Should Lead to Permanent Blacklisting** This is the strictest rule—if you cause a margin call once, immediately block and never cooperate again. Giving a second chance only results in a second margin call, and three chances lead to three. Gambling tendencies are the hardest to control; don’t expect them to change. Compared to scammers who might give you some sweet talk to deceive you happily, traders who can’t control their own trading desires are unlikely to be responsible for you.
All these rules are learned from blood lessons. Following orders may seem simple, but it’s actually a game of psychology and information.

Damn, I need to remember this 60-day bottom line move. I was previously tricked by those accounts that doubled in just a few days, and they were directly burned to a crisp.
The more aggressively they praise, the faster they explode. This really hit home for me. I’ve blacklisted all those genius accounts in the crypto world.
A 50% retracement should ring the alarm bell. Speaking firmly about this, strict stop-loss is truly the first rule for survival.
I’ve also seen the trick of small funds bringing in large orders. Two accounts knocking each other out, followers becoming ATMs—must be cautious.
Don’t touch accounts with billions; when the whales target you, it’s not about the amount—everyone gets burned. This part is well thought out.
One liquidation and you’re blacklisted forever—no more cooperation. No problem with this rule. If you can’t change your gambling nature, don’t expect anything good.
From these two months of blood, sweat, and tears, it’s clear I’ve been through the pits. Psychological warfare in this space is indeed not that simple. DYOR is always the truth.

It all sounds like scams. I've also fallen for accounts named "Crypto War God," and they were gone in just two weeks. LOL

honestly, the risk management framework here maps pretty cleanly to smart contract audit principles... that 60-day historical requirement? it's basically demanding a proven consensus pattern before you commit capital. the drawdown threshold thinking gets at incentive alignment - core governance primitive right there.

Really, after looking at so many "crypto genius" accounts, they all end up liquidated. From now on, I only recognize one rule—if you've been liquidated once, I immediately block you. Nothing else.

That's so true. The more flashy the titles, the more you should avoid them. I've seen someone who claimed to be a "Crypto Genius" get liquidated in two weeks.
Getting blacklisted after a single liquidation is something I really agree with. Giving chances just invites trouble.
The scheme of wash trading funds is indeed sinister; you need to keep your eyes wide open.
The pitfalls I've stepped into over the past two months were not in vain. The painful lessons are the best teachers.
The biggest risk in copying trades is being soft-hearted. If you get lucky and make money the first time, you start thinking about giving a second chance, and then there’s no turning back.
Honestly, any drawdown over 50% is a straight pass—there's nothing to think about.
You can tell a person's character just by looking at their account name, and this rule is really quite accurate.

Yeah, I've definitely seen those accounts that brag every day. They're basically just leek harvesters; one time is enough.

I agree with the 60-day launch window line. Short-term explosive profits are just reckless in the atmosphere; sooner or later, there will be a crash. Those accounts with their own halo can be judged for unstable orbits just by looking at their list.
A withdrawal of more than 50% directly into the blacklist is a sign of runaway speed loss, and there's no need for a second chance.
The game of fund matching is indeed hard to defend against. Accounts that use small funds to pull large orders should be especially cautious, as they can easily be mistaken for fuel consumption.
The ironclad rule of blacklisting after liquidation is absolutely correct. Traders with strong gambling tendencies have self-control capabilities that are virtually non-existent; relying on their self-discipline is as futile as expecting the moon to land.

On-chain data shows that this logic is essentially about screening contract deployment stability... The 60-day cycle happens to be a complete volatility cycle. From the code, the true risk control awareness is reflected in the smoothness of the drawdown curve. Unsurprisingly, those self-promoting accounts are basically high-frequency wash trading traces.

The more you praise aggressively, the faster it explodes. I truly understand this, having stepped into too many pits.
