Five years of trading practice, and finally I have summarized a few core logics.

Swing trading and long-term holding should be treated separately — these are fundamentally two different strategies. Swing trading emphasizes rhythm and timing, while long-term investing tests patience and discipline in stop-loss. I personally pursue both, but I never confuse them.

The principle of daily output is: genuine, practical, and usable. No storytelling, no bragging, only sharing verified trading insights. Especially during market turbulence, it's crucial to stay alert, avoid following the crowd, and not chase highs.

In trading systems, the biggest risk is blindly following others. You must establish your own logic, no matter how the market changes, your framework must remain stable. Following signals casually, leading with a laid-back attitude — it may look relaxed, but behind it is discipline first and risk control as the foundation. The unity of knowledge and action sounds easy, but only those who do it are truly capable.

Risk control always comes first. There are many opportunities to make money, but staying alive is the key to continuing to earn.

No matter how nicely you put it, it doesn't matter if you can't make it to the next bull market.

The core is still risk control; don't mess around with those fancy tricks. Trying to do long-term swing trading combined with other strategies, then just wait to lose money. After five years, this is the level of awareness I have; honestly, it's a bit slow. Copy trading should be eliminated; having your own system is the true way. It's easy to say not to chase high prices, but actually doing it is difficult. I still tend to be impulsive. The four words "Unity of knowledge and action," I need to work on them for another five years. Living is more important than making money; this hits hard.

nah, this is exactly like mile 20 in a marathon—everyone hits the wall differently. some sprint the waves, some just keep steady pace. the key is not mixing your fuels mid-race, honestly.

There's nothing wrong with that; mixing swing trading and long-term investing is just asking for trouble. I've also suffered this loss; poor risk control almost led to liquidation. The real money-makers are the boring people. After five years of exploring the system, it seems this circle really requires patience. Copy traders are all rookies; having your own system is the true way. Stop bragging; most people can't even execute a stop-loss. You can only keep earning if you're alive—this hits home.

Confusing swing trading with long-term investing, during that period the account plunged over 20%, and the collateralization ratio approached a dangerous threshold... Staying clear-headed really saved my life.

That's right, mixing swing trading and long-term investing is basically asking for trouble. I fell into this trap not long ago, and as a result, my account shrank directly. Now I honestly keep them separate, and life is much more comfortable. When it comes to risk control, if you don't take it seriously, you'll eventually pay the price. I've seen too many people make a little profit and then waste it all, ending up with a full limit-down. Staying alive is the key. Listening to a laid-back team is comfortable, but if the discipline behind it isn't in place, it's all pointless. The key is to really figure out your own strategies; you can't just rely on others' hype. Chasing high is the worst, especially when the market is chaotic. Many people get caught in this trap and chase in vain. Honestly, with five years of experience, these practical tips are more effective than any expert course if you can truly implement them. Once the system is stable, it really depends on who has the stronger mindset. With the same framework, some make money while others lose, and the difference is right there.

Trading in both short-term and long-term strategies at the same time is a recipe for disaster; I've already learned this the hard way. That's right, the ones truly making money are the ones quietly managing risk. Being able to stick to your own logic without following the crowd has already surpassed ninety percent of people. The saying "don't chase highs" can only be truly understood through painful lessons. Living is more important than making money; this is something I only recently truly understood.

Trading short-term and long-term strategies together is close to getting liquidated. This guy is right; they need to be treated separately. If risk control isn't done well, no matter how good the strategy is, it's useless. I've suffered this loss before. Took five years to figure these out? I damn well figured it out within a year, haha. But honestly, the last sentence "Only by staying alive can you keep earning" is the truth. How many people lose everything with a single all-in.
