One of the toughest things for traders to accept is that good trades can lose money and a garbage trades can print. That means watching short term winners tells you almost nothing useful. Since it takes hundreds of trades to even know if edge is real, making decisions on anything shorter means you’re optimizing around noise. But herein lies the trap. If you start making money doing reckless shit, those short term outcomes actually reinforce the behavior. You start believing randomness is skill because it’s paying you. And the exact thing randomness is rewarding you for is precisely what guarantees you’ll eventually blow up. I mentioned this the other day when Deepseek was already up ~37%. Then Qwen ripped to like 130% on wild 20x levered BTC bets and of course immediately nuked it all. At 20x, you either grow fast or blow up instantly. Those gains were never proof the strategy worked. They were proof randomness aligned long enough not to kill them yet. The whole game is surviving long enough for your edge to separate from the noise. Most never make it that far.
