Today, I want to talk about a harsh reality: many fans come to Cat Brother and say, "Brother Cat, why do I see so many people in the square making money by going long, while I keep losing more and more when I go long myself?
Are you like that too? Seeing others share their wins makes me itch to act, so I quickly check my account and find I’m still stuck in the same place.
Then I get anxious, chase the highs, go all-in with high leverage, and wish I could make back a year's worth of others’ gains with just one trade.
And what happens? Others are still sharing their wins, while your account is almost wiped out.
The problem isn’t that you don’t have opportunities; it’s that you’re always dancing to someone else’s rhythm.
They make money going long, so you follow in; they’re ready to run, and you’re right behind.
They short and profit, and you follow; then they run away.
You’re always chasing, always taking over others’ positions.
I have a brother who used to be like that—every day watching the group to see who’s making money or doubling their account, and he’d jump in at the sight of it.
In three months, he blew up twice.
Later, I told him to do one thing: leave all the groups.
Stop watching how much others are earning, just focus on your own charts and rules.
After two months, his account started to turn around.
He said, “Not watching others actually helped me stay calm.”
Don’t always stare at what’s on others’ plates; what you should do is heat up your own pot.
People making money aren’t because they’re super talented—they walk at their own pace, steady, patient, and don’t follow the crowd.
Bring your focus back, control your hands, wait when you need to wait, enter when it’s time.
You’ll find that those opportunities you once envied, you can also seize yourself.
