Here's a new insight: whether you're using CC, Codex, Cursor, or Lobster, Hermes... The process of collaborating with AI is very similar to walking a dog! You must always keep a clear mind to ensure the AI doesn't enter a self-loop and deviate from the intended results—just like when walking a dog, you have to pull the leash if the dog goes the wrong way. If you just follow the dog, eventually the dog ends up walking you... For example: Have you noticed that when fixing some complex bugs, once the conversation with AI turns into "If you agree, I'll proceed to the next step..." and you reply "Agree, continue!", within less than 10 rounds of dialogue, your code or outcome inevitably starts to drift away from what you originally wanted to achieve... The scariest part of this process is that when using some top-tier large models, they will try to subtly lead you during this process. Especially after a small deviation has been established, this error will be continuously reinforced in subsequent conversations, making the AI itself believe this is the only solution or path, thus rationalizing it... If you can't firmly hold onto your logic or your thinking gets confused, you will eventually fall into a state that seems like frequent output is happening, but the results have completely deviated... It's like the butterfly effect—many small errors you didn't deliberately emphasize will be gradually amplified, solidified, and rationalized by the AI. By the time you realize something is wrong, all that's left are various messes, and at that point, you're just wasting more quota and Tokens... So sometimes I wonder, is this the result of these big AI companies deliberately letting this happen?

I spent the last couple of days completely restructuring the entire system and wanted to share some new lessons learned: 1. When building a strategy system involving AI, for every deployed feature, you must first ask yourself: "Can this feature be implemented purely through code?" If a feature can be implemented purely through code, no matter how complex the logic is, you should avoid handing over decision-making to AI; For example, my current overall strategy system architecture is to first deploy a set of pure algorithmic quantitative strategies with high win rates and high profit-loss ratios but extremely low trading frequency. Backtesting results show fewer than 10 trades per year, but the data is excellent. The reason for the low trading frequency is that the strategy’s decision tree includes many filtering factors, so normal market conditions rarely trigger entry signals... Then I involve AI in decision-making, using account historical data and the strategy architecture to dynamically adjust the filter parameters, turning a pure algorithmic strategy into a flexible trader... Then problems arose. Although the AI’s prompt instructions were comprehensive, as the number of parameter iterations increased, the AI began to develop some self-reinforcing directional biases... For example, last time it adjusted the RSI range and found that the strategy’s win rate and profits improved. This change was then logged as an iteration experience for the next optimization. Gradually, the context became that no matter how the strategy performed, it would only modify one core parameter, and the adjustments became more and more extreme... Even though I added explanations for all exposed parameters in the global prompt, after running for a while each time, the AI’s attention would get stuck on one or two parameters and couldn’t break free... Therefore, I had to spend two days turning this part of the AI task—data collection, real-time analysis, and dynamic parameter tuning—into pure code logic. To adapt, the entire system required a lot of dependency development, which was completely unnecessary when AI was making decisions before, as it could pull data, search online, perform semantic analysis, and then draw tuning conclusions on its own... Still, without heavy AI involvement in decision-making, the system finally stabilized. So one thing is clear: for trading systems, hard-coded logic is ultimately superior to flexible large models! Currently, I have limited AI’s role to social sentiment analysis, trading asset collection (background checks and unlocking periods), and system monitoring. Having the Agent act as a secretary is far safer and more stable than having it act as a trader. So, if you’re still expecting to give AI a prompt and have it start making money for you, it’s better to forget it for now. Current large models can only execute pure algorithmic strategies with fixed parameters, essentially saving users the trouble of initial development; But the more AI occupies space in a system, the higher the black-box uncertainty becomes. Sometimes it’s even more stable to just find a signal provider to follow...

So it turns out that there were always people privately messaging me to apply to be my assistant, is this an industry chain?

The cycle of happiness and joy is: generating desire - forming a reality gap - gradually filling the reality gap through effort - achieving the goal to satisfy the desire… The most fulfilling and exciting part of this process is not the moment of finally achieving the goal, but the gradual process of filling the reality gap. Many huge desires feel extremely satisfying at the moment they are fulfilled, but the main substance released in the brain is dopamine, which belongs to short-term pleasure. In contrast, during the long-term process of gradually approaching the final goal, every small victory and the happiness after reaching each stage goal come from endorphins, which form the foundation of long-term happiness. The happiest part of making money is not when an extra zero suddenly appears at the end of your account balance, but the process of the first digit gradually increasing from 1 to 9… I once earned a lot of money for a period, which led to a depressive episode a month later, even going to four or five consecutive psychological counseling sessions. The counselor looked at me as if I were an idiot, probably thinking, "Is this fool here to show off?" If you can understand Tony’s feeling of emptiness, it means you have also experienced great ups and downs…

When I was little, I thought that if one day I could make a lot of money and travel around the world, I would definitely be happy. But as I grew up, I slowly realized that what truly makes people happy is not traveling around the world, nor is it having a lot of money. If you travel everywhere, after a month, or even two months straight, you will get tired of it and no longer want to continue. You feel empty. You earn a lot of money and buy many things you want, but in the end, you realize that there is essentially no difference between very expensive things and cheap things. You gradually lose the charm of those expensive things. You find that because you are very rich, you spend a lot of money, but you cannot buy back the happiness you felt when you first became wealthy, because you have adapted. Moreover, I have several very wealthy friends around me, but their lives are not very happy. They each have their own misfortunes to tell me about. So, what exactly determines what can make people happy and joyful?

The navigation bar of the Binance App has become fully customizable, it seems the product team has been working overtime recently… After the update, you can also set withdrawal locks to eliminate the risk of account theft from the source. No more worries about someone around you using your phone to transfer money to their UID? 🤣

X's total salary has finally exceeded ten thousand! By this calculation, Premium+ is completely free... Lately, even if I hardly scroll through Twitter, I still make sure to post 1-2 tweets every day, because on this platform, if you don't speak, it's like you're dead... Take a look at my 2024 paycheck; I was quite satisfied with $20 a month back then...

The second pitfall has arrived! Agent had a 10% drawdown in one day because I didn’t monitor it closely in the middle. The evolution system kept making the strategy more and more aggressive, and eventually it completely removed all the strategy’s opening conditions 😢… Then it just blindly gambled, so I had to intervene manually and impose comprehensive restrictions on the evolution system’s permissions. It can adjust parameters, but it can’t change the trading logic itself… I also added a risk control avoidance mechanism. So far, it’s already started reducing risk exposure, and the aggressiveness has begun to decline… The core lesson learned this time: the AI’s strategy optimization permissions must be limited within a defined framework and parameter range… It won’t adjust parameters rationally or moderately; it only gets its context polluted by past iteration records, thinking that previous profitable adjustments are good, so it will recklessly double down and go all in on one path!

Alright, alright, after a day of repeated adaptation, the evolution system finally seems to have figured out that if it focuses on short-term trading, it should be more flexible… In the last 24 hours, it proactively modified the entry rules for the short-term strategy, pushing capital utilization to the limit, and also learned to enable OKX's auto-earn feature for margin… Although the win rate is still low, the profit-loss ratio compensates for this disadvantage, and it has started to generate steady and continuous profits… On the third day after giving it 15,000 USDT, the overall profit actually reached 2,000 USDT. It seems it’s working hard to cover those fictional server and API fees I made up! Suddenly, I feel a bit embarrassed 😅…

Is $BILL heading towards 0.1? The Kaito airdrop back then is now worth 1500 USD, and the airdrop from the @billions_ntwk community is already worth 85,000 USD... If you want to cash out this part of the reward, the only way currently is to short hedge, but the problem is, what if the price surges to 0.2? So you can't hedge, and you don't dare to chase at a high price. The only strategy is to open a Martingale short grid, placing orders at the highest price of 0.35+... As for why 0.35, I had Grok do a year-over-year comparison with WLD. Under the condition that the user base is not as large as the former, because the community airdrop has locked up the vast majority of tokens, the two offset each other. The calculated limit price for $BILL, constrained by its valuation limit, is 0.35... Therefore, if you want to preserve the value of the airdrop, a Martingale short grid can be considered, but the only requirement is to prepare at least 10 times the value of the airdrop in funds, and ensure that when the Martingale is fully invested, the overall leverage ratio is exactly 1, with absolutely no extra leverage! Finally, is it worth tying up 850,000 USD for half a year to secure cashing out this less than 10k USD airdrop? I don't know if you can afford it; as for me, I definitely don't have that spare money right now 🤣

Trading is basically guessing and gambling; it actually depends on which stage you admit that you are gambling. Stage one: Not knowing you are gambling (just playing blindly) Stage two: Knowing you are gambling (daring not to invest in anything, missing out all the time) Stage three: Knowing you are gambling, but learning how to gamble…

# Trading Insights Don't be fooled by "going with the flow" Today I saw "Shanghainese Twelve Youngsters" post an article with this title, and my goodness! After reading it, I felt completely refreshed. The most important thing is to achieve three points! She said: Trading has never been about following; trading is about betting. When the market moves for a while and you look back, you realize this is an uptrend/downtrend. At that point, if you enter, you might get lucky and benefit, but if you're unlucky, you could end up at the peak. In trading, there is no "following"; there is only "guessing" and "betting" - guessing the direction and betting on the probability. I used to reject the word "bet"; in fact, rejecting it is pointless, as just one word can lead people astray. Life is a gamble, facing countless choices; which decision isn't a bet? She also said: The bets of professional traders and the blind guesses of gamblers are two different things. The difference is: do you have a system with a positive expected value, and are you willing to bear the consequences? Experienced traders don't wait for the trend to be crystal clear; they place their orders during the budding phase, at critical positions, and at the tipping point of the battle. No amount of technical analysis, support and resistance, moving average arrangements, or breakout patterns can guarantee whether the next second will be up or down; it only increases the probability of winning. After placing an order, wait for the market to provide an answer; if you're right, take the profit, if wrong, cut the loss. Betting must have discipline, risk control, and a bottom line. Since it's a gamble, there will definitely be times you lose; losing isn't scary, what's scary is not admitting it and waiting for the trend to come back to save you. You need to be a professional gambler. There are three rules for betting: First, only bet at positions where you believe the probability is in your favor; don't act until the timing is right. This is professional conduct. Second, control your stakes. How much you bet at once, can you afford to lose it? Third, if you're wrong, admit the loss. This is the most crucial point. Trading is a gamble that requires brains and discipline. Only by recognizing this can you truly enter the field. Family, have you entered the field yet? #btc is about to hit 82000, I placed a short order at 82000. As a professional gambler, I believe this is a position with a favorable probability; I control my stakes, and if I'm wrong, I will admit the loss.
