Recently, participating in trading competitions has been quite intense. During the VSN round, the Square's King of Volatility led the rhythm, and even in the middle of the night, people were still pushing. In a panic, I added 60,000, but ended up with a loss of 48u. Later, I learned my lesson and lowered it to 30u. LAVA this time traded over 40,000, with a loss of 33u, still unable to hold. When NIGHT entered the scene, I finally calmed down a bit, with actual transactions exceeding 380,000, and the loss controlled at 81u. Throughout the process, the hedge fund fee deducted another 5u, making the total cost 167u. Based on the account data, I should be able to make the leaderboard, with expected rewards around 300u. After deducting the principal, I could still earn a hundred or so, plus an additional 30u from daily score grinding. Calculating it, this kind of volatility actually yields average returns, and it's mentally exhausting. From now on, I’ll just forget it—such small rewards are not worth following the trend.

VSN-1.97%
NIGHT-0.67%

Really, losing so much in one go just for the sake of it, what's the point?

I've also followed the trend and chased orders, and I regret it to death.

Completing the 300u reward deduction only earned me a hundred or so, and it's mentally exhausting, not worth it.

Someone still rushing at midnight? How impatient must they be?

Lowering it to 30u is the smart move, but unfortunately I realized it a bit late.

Can't compete with these monsters, let's accept our fate, everyone.

When you do the math, it's actually better to just trade honestly.

After a round of effort, I realize I really lost out. This is true enlightenment, brother.

Bro, this is a typical overachiever trap. Glad you woke up quickly.

I totally understand the part about being led into the rhythm and chasing 60,000. Spamming late at night can really get addictive.

Exchanging 167u wear for a 300u reward, it's really not worth the mental exhaustion.

After going through it all, I realize I only made this much profit. Truly exhausting, brother.

Bro, this is a classic case of overtrading to the point of going bald. After accounting for fees and transaction costs, the actual profit you make is just a tiny crumb. It's better to focus on your own strategy and be at peace.
