Recently, I have been monitoring 24 potential tokens, running an automated trading program overnight. I made 5 trades, successfully completing 4 and incurring a loss on 1. Looking back at that losing trade, there were originally two good take profit opportunities, but I happened to get stuck at that critical time frame— the program was blocked. By the time it recovered, the market had turned bad, and I could only stop loss and exit. What’s even more frustrating is that just at the moment I stopped loss, the coin shot up again. This is the reality of trading – it's not that the strategy was wrong, but unexpected execution issues can hit you hard. The instability of the program and the misalignment with market rhythm can lead to two completely different outcomes for just a one-second difference.

Missing a second can really be fatal; this is the harsh reality of automated trading. In that moment when the program stalls, my mindset completely collapses... If I had known earlier, I would have spent more money to upgrade the server; saving a little money ended up costing me a lot. Although I lost this time, a 4/5 success rate is actually not bad; let's continue to optimize, brother. Getting stuck at a critical time is the most frustrating; it feels even worse when the market is pumping and you can't see it. I need to find a way to improve the stability of the program; network latency is the real killer.
