You just have to think about each piece you do a LOT and what would make it sound better/feel better etc. In this case, its easy to accent the groupings of 3’s (btw, the left hand does the same pattern, but in different arpeggios). So I would accent every 4 notes (it repeats in 3s) so as to get the right sound. I would also focus on connecting the thumb and pinky. I did not start hands separate, especially because its the same thing in both hands. Key for learning Chopin etudes and building speed is to use the metranome very slowly and go up notch by notch

Iz this another sample of awful advice you were talking about in your other thread?

have you learned this etude? Its pretty simple, those are 2 of the most important points easily. I have gotten advice from Katherine Brown Paul Schenly Cleveland, Evelyn Brenkart, Karen Shaw Indiana, my teacher Lawrence Campbell, and almost all of them mentioned those points.

Call that stupid if you will, i have a feeling they know much more than you do.

Hah I can understand. For a while there, when I just started listening to recordings (years ago) I just wanted to learn whatever recordings I heard. When I baught the Ohlsson and Ashkenazy etudes, I had to learn them all (probably part of the reason I’ve learned about half by now).

This was difficult for me at that age. I was kind of pissed that I couldn’t. Also, Ashkenazy recordings always made me want to learn more music and I was pissed that he could learn so much (including many shitty recs). I actually think that’s basically the reason I still listen to his recs at all; we go back. Hell, Gilels has passed him up on my favorites by now easily.
