Recently, I’ve been diving deep into full-stack Python development, grinding from zero to being able to handle both frontend and backend. I haven’t had time to focus on Web3 at all.
Luckily, the ETH strategy I wrote before is still running, and I’ve made some small profits recently by taking gains when they come and stopping out in time. But to be honest, I still don’t dare to enable automated trading—markets can turn too quickly, and strategies need constant parameter adjustments. What if I’m not watching one day and get liquidated? I’ve backtested with a year’s worth of historical data before, and the results were either getting cut in half or wiped out completely. Who can handle that? 😅
Manual trading is a bit tiring, but at least it gives me peace of mind.

Damn, the backtest getting wiped out is really insane... Automated trading is just a trap—once the market changes suddenly, you don't even have time to react.

Phew, good thing I took profits in time, otherwise I'd definitely be regretting it now.
Automated trading is really a pitfall, I've been burned by it too. Backtest data is all fake.
Kind of regret not learning full-stack like you did, just staring at the screen all day is really exhausting.
Can you actually make stable withdrawals with the Python full-stack route? Tell me more.
With the market being this competitive, manual trading still feels more reliable. Sleep quality is about the same either way.

The backtest data is so dismal, yet you're still thinking about automation? There's a fundamental problem with this approach. You need to figure out the root cause of the strategy's failure first; otherwise, changing parameters is pointless.

Haha, full-stack grinder, huh? Let's put Web3 aside for now. 😂 Manual trading is indeed exhausting but reliable, while you can tell just by looking at the backtest data for those automated systems that the risks are huge.
