Recently, some on-chain traders who have gone viral can enter positions in seconds and quickly exit for profits. Many people see this and want to copy it. But think carefully—does this strategy really suit most people?
To be honest: they are indeed strong. Precise positioning at market open, quickly building a position, then cleanly exiting—this requires a keen market sense and execution ability. After the live broadcast, a wave of people started following and even spent heavily on so-called "tools" and "signal services." But there are several unavoidable pitfalls.
**High capital threshold**. Just the gas fees on BSC can discourage many people; the transaction costs are often more intimidating than the profits. The essence of new token launches is to use capital size to increase tolerance for errors. A 30% slippage is a scratch for big players but deadly for retail investors. You need enough ammunition to play this game.
**Account copying accumulation effect**. One reason these traders can profit quickly is that their orders are followed by a large number of retail traders. When the market opens with a 0-30% move, there are still continuous followers jumping in. But ordinary people don’t have this halo effect; blindly copying their trades is like carrying their water for them.
**Time cost is seriously overlooked**. Professional traders can monitor the market 24/7 to find every opportunity. What about you? You still have work, life, and sleep. This gap cannot be remedied just by learning.
So don’t be blinded by the superficial high multiples. Everyone’s risk tolerance, capital scale, and time investment are different. Blindly copying with a 90% probability of loss is risky. Instead of chasing the trend, it’s better to protect your principal and wait for truly own opportunities. There’s no shortage of opportunities on the BSC chain; what’s missing is patience.
