Maybe this will be an unpopular opinion, especially among trading mentors and well-known KOLs. But it must be acknowledged—this is a fact.

All the terms like discipline, money management, risk management, and similar concepts in trading... many are just empty rhetoric.

Influencers often talk about money management and other techniques. The reality? Most of them may not even fully understand what they are teaching. Few can explain the details, let alone apply them consistently in a fluctuating market.

Exactly right, I just get annoyed by this set of hypocritical stuff. --- Big influencers talk about discipline every day, but their accounts are爆了 and they still pretend. --- Really, 95% of trading tutorials are just armchair theories; once you get into real trading, everyone dies. --- That's why I never spend money on trading courses, they're all scams and套路. --- People only want to hear chicken soup, not the truth, so big influencers just keep making stuff up. --- Risk management? Good grief, they don't even know what risk is. --- Don't be fooled by those beautiful backtest charts; real market conditions are different. --- I've seen too many KOLs pretend to be masters when the market is good, but disappear after losing. --- The funniest thing is, none of them can clearly explain their own logic for making money.

Really, nine out of ten KOLs are just bluffing, talking up a storm, but in the end, they all end up losing money.

Exactly right, these KOLs just shout slogans and don't even follow through themselves.

Being too direct, actually most people make money by selling anxiety.

To be honest, this really hits my most annoying point. I've seen too many KOLs shout "risk management, capital management," and when asked for details, they start to be vague... The data models don't match, and strategy backtesting can't be reproduced. How dare they call themselves mentors? They're just harvesting retail investors.

It hurts to say, but this is why I never follow the trend to buy courses. Really, most mentors are just parrots. They talk a lot of fancy words but can't hold their own positions. Honestly, just looking at their K-line charts reveals whether they're genuine or fake. It takes courage to say this, but beware of offending people.
