Don't remind me again today

There are always people complaining that the market is like a roller coaster - it's not that the market is crazy, it's that the Candlestick you are watching is too short.



What can you see on a 30-second chart? It's all just noise. Staring at it, a big bearish candlestick comes down and you feel like the sky is falling; but when you switch to the hourly chart, it's just a tiny pullback. The reverse is also true; you get so excited on the hourly chart, but when you pull back to the daily or weekly chart — wow, it doesn't even count as a decent breakout.

The data is still the same data, but its significance varies greatly across different time dimensions.

In short cycles, there are only noise and false signals; only in long cycles can the trend be clearly seen. If your stop-loss points, trading rhythm, and even mindset are being led by minute-level fluctuations, then you will always see "huge shocks" in your eyes.

You're right, I used to torture myself by looking at the 1-minute chart every day.

You hit the nail on the head. I used to have this problem too, staring at the 1-minute chart every day like a lunatic.

You're right, I've been tormented by the 30-second Candlestick, but now looking at the daily chart is much more comfortable.

You're right, I've been someone who got mentally exploded by the 5-minute chart, haha. This brother's words hit me, switching to the daily chart instantly made me feel relieved.

You're right, I used to have this problem, staring at the 30-minute chart every day, panicking whenever there was a fall. Ugh, it's just that I didn't have the willpower, I had to be led by the Candlestick. It was only when I switched to the weekly chart that I realized those scary falls are actually just minor drizzles.

You're not wrong, I'm one of those people who got wrecked by the 30-second Candlestick.
