Here's an investment tip for everyone: beware of influencers who only showcase returns and never disclose their holdings.

Behind seemingly glamorous profit data, there may be tricks like the Ant Portfolio. They try with a very small principal, and when they lose, it's just a minor loss. But if you follow with a heavy position, the loss is real money.

The same strategy can yield vastly different results due to different position management. The market is not short of people who can talk; what’s lacking are those willing to transparently share trading details. Without seeing specific amounts, you can't assess true risk tolerance. This kind of copy trading is most prone to pitfalls.

Trust me, when choosing trading partners, those who dare to openly share all data are more worth paying attention to than just those with impressive returns.

I'm too familiar with this trick. Can small amount doubling be the same as large amount doubling? Ant Wallet shows hundredfold returns, but copying trades results in hundredfold losses. Just thinking about it is frightening. Truly excellent traders have long opened their accounts for others to see. I don't bother looking at those hiding and showing off their returns. Data transparency determines everything. This is not nonsense but a painful lesson. Before copying, ask three questions: How much is the position? How to stop loss? What is the maximum drawdown you can tolerate? If you can't answer, don't follow.

Bro, you're so right. Data from small positions running out really isn't reliable, almost got fooled. --- That's why I never trust those who hide things; transparency is king, brother. --- Ant position暴利 sounds great, but if you keep going, it's the living textbook of the opposite. --- The ratio is off, no matter how high the return, it's useless. It all depends on how you operate. --- Basically, it's just fear of exposing oneself. Those with real strength have already opened their accounts. --- Once almost heavily copied a big V, but after asking about the specific holdings, I realized and broke out in cold sweat. --- There are many who show off data in the market, but few dare to reveal trading details. Be cautious. --- Position management determines life or death. If you don't do this well, all strategies are nonsense. --- Don't trust those who don't disclose amounts. Those making big money quietly won't be shouting everywhere.

It's the same old story. Small positions to attract attention, large positions to show true strength. Don't follow if you can't see the specific holdings.

Really, I've seen this trick too many times. Doubling small positions is easy to brag about, but if you hold a heavy position, you're just the bag holder.

It's the same old story, but it hits the mark... Friends who copy trades around me who suffer heavy losses only look at the return rate.

Haha, I've seen many such bloggers. Playing with small capital is fun, and losing doesn't hurt. --- Really, a slight difference in position size can mean ten times the profit. They love to hide this. --- Speechless. People who only look at the return rate will be cut sooner or later. How many times do I have to say this? --- Traders who dare to share their holdings are indeed rare; most are just show-offs. --- Seeing an ant-sized position magnified several times looks impressive, but only those who follow heavy positions are truly brave. --- The problem is that most of those who boast the loudest on the market are hiding something. --- Just this—if you can't see the amount, you can't see the risk. The logic is sound. --- Sorry, I need to learn how to tell the difference. I was really fooled by this trick before. --- Transparency is the best way to see a trader's confidence; those without confidence love to hide and dodge. --- The metaphor of "ten thousand eight thousand miles" is excellent. Position management really determines everything.

Really, I know someone who got caught, following a blogger whose claimed returns looked insanely high, only to suffer huge losses. Later I found out they just used a few thousand yuan in Ant Wallet to test the waters. --- I'm already tired of this kind of trick. Only real men dare to show their full account details. --- What a joke about the high returns. Haven't you noticed the amounts are all fake? I only follow traders who openly reveal their positions and stop-loss points. --- The key is position sizing. Someone earning 20% might have only used 1% of their capital, while you, over-leveraged, could blow up immediately. Wake up, everyone. --- This brother's advice is spot on. There are too many braggarts in the market, and truly transparent ones are few and far between. --- I just want to ask, those who only show their profits but not their principal, are they feeling guilty or what? So unprofessional. --- Only after stepping into the pit do you realize that checking position details is a hundred times more important than looking at returns. Don’t ask me how I know.

Really, I've been scammed too. Those so-called bloggers claiming to earn millions a day are all bluffing, just showing screenshots.

It's the same old story, seeing influencers show off their earnings every day, never daring to reveal their principal, playing tricks with Ant Wallet, no wonder they get cut off.

It's the same old story. They start bragging when the returns look good, and when asked about their position, they play dead. Truly outrageous.
