Xiao Mao: You not only have to compete with the talented players who survived the last round, and learn to reconcile with your own emotions, but now you're also forced to compete with countless quantitative teams and AI for speed, information, and decision-making opportunities. Given this trend, why stay in the crypto space and get bogged down? First, analyze where the problem lies and whether it can be solved. Currently, for many people (including myself), "trading" is no longer a rational decision-making process, but a continuous drain. This isn't a new problem. For decades, professional traders have lived under this high-pressure environment, only previously this pressure was mainly concentrated on a minority. One theory suggests that AI forces everyone to become an investor; for example, people laid off from Amazon stock will buy Amazon stock. Moreover, now, thanks to professional apps for cryptocurrencies and leveraged products, it's diluted among tens of millions of ordinary people, whose innate personalities, education, and talents are simply not suited to withstand this high-intensity load for a long time. Vibe Trading wants to gradually pull you out of this role and move you closer to another role: the person who designs trading systems. In other words, the trader of the future won't be someone who frantically makes decisions based on price fluctuations every day, but rather someone who writes down their worldview, risk boundaries, and rhythm, and then lets AI agents do the work for them. To summarize in simpler terms: Vibe Trading = using your vibe (worldview + rhythm), plus capital allocation and risk rules, and leveraging AI to transform "intuition" into a repeatedly executable system. It has three layers: Your Vibe: How you view risk, how you view market conditions, what your acceptable drawdown is, and what timeframe you're willing to use to interact with the market—these constitute your system's "worldview." The framework of capital and risk control, such as the advice recommended by an OG trader friend below, is suitable for long-term trading, but doesn't miss short-term opportunities. The third step: turning "ideas" into "plans." This is the most crucial dividing line between Vibe Trading and gambling at the table. The system will break down your statement "I think it's a good time to long long" into a structured plan, including: a suggested entry range (not a single point), reasonable target prices and a phased profit-taking strategy, and a stop-loss position that matches the overall position size. If the market moves against you, it will also show which signals indicate it's time to exit. Over time, you'll realize that the essence of trading isn't a subconscious bet, but a logical and bounded plan. In Navarre's words, these are simply leverage: you write your specific knowledge, worldview, and rules into a system that doesn't get tired or experience FOMO (fear of missing out). I don't want to lose money in the market, being repeatedly educated without changing my approach. I should start with first principles; if AI assistance is truly effective, then I'll adjust accordingly.
