These past couple of days, I've been running stress tests on an automated trading system, and the process has been quite interesting. This morning, I faced an unrealized loss of over $10,000, which was definitely a bit nerve-wracking. However, by the end of the session, it gradually regained ground, ultimately closing with a net profit of over $500. The report card may not look that impressive, but honestly, the primary goal of this system isn't to create miracles. What we want is a stable cash flow, and consistent daily gains are the real key.

What impressed me the most is the resilience of the machine. It maintained high-frequency operations for over 6 hours straight, without emotional fluctuations, fatigue, or human errors—if a human were to do this, they probably wouldn't last long. This is also why more and more traders are starting to rely on automated systems. It's not about getting rich overnight, but about helping you execute strategies, control risks, and stick to discipline—things that are often the easiest for humans to mess up under extreme pressure.

It should be pointed out that the performance of your system actually validates a widely overlooked argument—stability far outweighs returns. Based on on-chain data and historical backtesting results, I dare say 90% of retail investors die chasing huge profits rather than due to lack of strategy. The coldness of machines is precisely where their value lies. Human nature is laughably fragile in the face of the market; emotional decision-making is the fundamental reason for getting "cut" in the market. Your perspective cuts very deep. That's why I always insist on automated execution. A $10,000 unrealized loss is nothing; the real issue is whether you can remain rational under pressure—which most people cannot.

Consistently generating cash flow is the real secret to longevity; machines have no emotions, and that's truly unbeatable. --- Staying online for six hours straight, humans would have already lost their patience and exploded, haha. --- $500 guaranteed profit with no loss, this is the value of the system. If you don't pursue rapid wealth, you won't suffer huge losses. --- The key is execution capability. Humans hesitate and regret, but machines follow strategies with unwavering dedication. --- Being able to recover from a loss of over ten thousand is unmatched in resilience. --- The correct approach is accumulated over time; don't be blinded by short-term gains. --- Have you considered optimizing your strategy to double your returns? --- Robots don't get tired or panic; this is the biggest advantage of automation. --- Six hours with zero errors; I would have already been trembling if it were me. --- That's why I'm also into automated trading—human brains really can't handle risk control.

Well, robots are ruthless. Emotions are truly the enemy of trading. Stable cash flow sounds simple but is actually the hardest. Most people are still dreaming of getting rich overnight. If it were me, I would have already panicked after 6 hours of not crashing, haha. That's why I'm also considering automation. Human weaknesses are too obvious. After calculating, I still think the system is reliable. At least it won't drive me to madness.

What I want to say is that machines won't start self-doubt because of losses, and this is truly impressive. Wait, your 500 yuan net profit... is it really a stress test? It feels more like teaching us how to survive. The coolest thing about automation is right here. When humans are worried about every penny, it has already executed according to the plan, with zero emotions and zero errors. That's right, stable cash flow is the ultimate goal. Don't always think about turning things around in one wave; that's gambling, not trading. Looking at it this way, humans are really too prone to collapse under extreme pressure, while machines' mental resilience truly outperforms.

Robots are really ruthless, blinking not even once in 6 hours, humans would have broken down long ago. --- Stable cash flow > getting rich overnight. How many times have I said this, yet some people still don't believe it? --- From a loss of over ten thousand to a net profit of five hundred, the resilience is truly remarkable. --- The key is having no emotions. This is something humans really can't do. --- The core of automation systems is to keep you disciplined; don't overthink it. --- The stress test ran well; it seems the system design is pretty good. --- In simple terms, it's about the machine's strong execution ability; human nature is just a bug in trading. --- Five hundred dollars may not seem like much, but consistently generating stable cash flow is the way for long-term winners.

This is true stability. What I care more about is whether it can be sustained. Bots won't be driven by emotions. In simple terms, they don't have human weaknesses. These 500 dollars don't seem like much, but on a daily average basis, it's actually pretty good. When compounded, it becomes formidable. I also tried manual trading before, but at critical moments, my hands would start to shake, and the machine wouldn't. The core of an automated system is to eliminate human interference. If this is done well, the win rate will increase. Honestly, I'm satisfied just to be able to hold on this long without getting liquidated.
