Stop trading with a "bottom-fishing mindset" – it's outdated already


Many people lose money not because they can't read the market, but because they want to catch the lowest and highest points from the start. The result is – they get battered in every market move
I did the same early on. The more I tried to catch the bottom, the more I got buried; the more I tried to catch the top, the more I missed out. Later I realized the market doesn't reward "smartness" – it only rewards "rules"
If you want stable trading, there's only one thing to do: don't guess, follow the rules
Now I only look at three things:
First, look at the trend, not the price level
When the price stands above the key moving average, only consider going long; when it breaks below, only consider going short. Ignore all the "cheap" and "expensive" in between
Second, look for confirmation, not feelings
Don't enter based on emotion; only wait for structural confirmation, like retracement, volume expansion, or a solid hold
Third, look at risk control, not illusions
If you're wrong, get out. Don't hold onto losing positions, don't add to losers. The market won't cooperate just because you think "it will come back"
What truly separates people isn't whether you caught the lowest point, but whether you avoided big losses
Many people have just one problem: they want to win every single trade #以太坊突破1700美元涨7.98%
But the market's logic is simple – you don't need to win many times; you just need to lose small when you're wrong and hold on when you're winning

Looking at confirmations rather than feelings is crucial. Emotional trading is indeed the biggest pitfall for losing money; only by doing risk control well can you survive long.

Rules are more important than intelligence. I need to print this out and put it on the wall.

That's so real. I used to always try to perfectly time the bottom, only to get burned every time. Now that I've learned to follow the trend, it feels much more comfortable.
