I think the root cause of why retail traders keep losing money while blindly copying others is their obsession with finding the "Alpha cure." Over the past year, I lost a lot on memecoins—so much that I too started searching for the "Alpha cure." But I overlooked whether the cure was disposable or something you hold long-term. One advantage of X is that, with a little time, you can clearly tell who truly has real trading skill. Some only post results of endless profits; others show both wins and losses; some publicly disclose their positions before big wins. I bought BTW largely by following @PolskaCebula’s trade history. After BTW, he also made gains on SAGA. Each time I copied his trades with $1,000–$2,000, I consistently doubled my money—it felt great. I bought PONS largely based on the signals from Winry @vonzz6 and Mei Yangyang @wangy112375—recently, Winry’s calls to add positions have been incredibly accurate. For higher-conviction alphas, I cross-reference Luge @luge517 and Yangjie @Arya_web3. BTW is now at $1—very close to @PolskaCebula’s predicted $1.5 target!
