Many strategies used by signal traders are actually very simple, but they can be extremely damaging to followers. Here's a real example: a trader signals a trade with 300 ETH, earning 100 points and making 30,000 USDT, while directly taking a 9,000 yuan fee. At the same time, the trader opens a hedge position behind the scenes with 90 ETH, also 100 points, earning another 9,000 yuan.

This kind of setup is brilliant. If followers make money, the trader profits from commissions and can also gain the trust of followers. What if followers lose money? The hedge position profits, and the trader still makes money. No matter the outcome, the signal trader always benefits the most.

In simple terms, this is a carefully designed trap. As soon as participants follow the signals, the trader is already in an unbeatable position. Instead of chasing those tempting returns, it's better to think about why you're working for someone else.
