A short YouTube video by Kardec Trader (uploaded Nov 7, 2023) arguing that traders should not blindly copy other people’s trading styles. The speaker uses scalping as an example—saying it requires fast execution, quick thinking, and certain temperamental traits—and emphasizes the need to develop non-technical skills (self-control, patience, risk management) to avoid repeatedly losing gains.
I think every person has a different approach of how to trade the market. So, for example, scalping. I don't think everyone can scalp golf. You need to be super quick on your feed, super quick on execute them, super quick on being able to think. I don't think every human has a natural ability to do that. There's certain traders that might say, hey, I like the way he trades and let's say he scalps, I want to do what he does. There's people that are not patient and they don't start developing those other skill sets that are outside of trading to actually combat or improve their trading. I've noticed they'll have two, three days of bad trading and they'll blow it. So they'll make money, but then they'll blow it. They don't have self control, they can't manage risk, they don't know how to not self destruct.
