I've seen quite a few people get wrecked in the market, and at the end of the day, it all comes down to being too rigid in their stance. The traders who truly survive are those whose views sway in real-time with the Candlestick charts—shorting decisively when in short positions, and immediately turning around when long positions come in, with no blind loyalty to any direction.



The crypto market is like this; it doesn't belong to any side. Long positions have their opportunities, short positions have their moments, but more often it's a slippery market—both sides can be cut down, and the key is whether you can keep up with the rhythm at the turning points. Adapting to the market is far more valuable than sticking to your viewpoint.

You're right, sticking to your opinion is like looking for death; the market doesn't wait for anyone.

Following the trend is the way to go, but the prerequisite is that you have to see clearly where the wind is blowing.

That's why most people lose money, they want to be too clever.

Turning points test people the most; I often react half a beat too slow, and the money is gone.

The slippery market is indeed full of pitfalls, both ways can play people for suckers.

You're right, I used to stubbornly hold a bearish view and ended up being played people for suckers repeatedly. Now I just follow the market movements and live quite comfortably.
