After trading for so long, I discovered a harsh truth: the players who really make money are never those who stare at the market every day, buying and selling frantically.
They are more like lurking hunters. Most of the time, they observe, waiting for that moment with an extremely high probability of success to appear. Once they make a move, they can basically earn profits with their eyes closed.
In simple terms, a well-timed heavy investment can offset a hundred losses from aimless struggles. Sometimes, staying patient and not acting is worth much more than desperately chasing trends.
Many people always feel that their "reaction is too slow"—prices drop right after they buy, and rise right after they sell, as if they are being targeted by the market. In fact, this is not a technical problem. What you may be lacking is a tool that can give you signals in advance, or a reliable source of information.
The market never rewards those who act hastily. It only recognizes participants who do their homework, can endure, and understand how to leverage opportunities.

What you said hit too close to home. These past few years, I've been trapped by the illusion of "reacting too slowly". I chased the trends every day but didn't catch a single one. However, that time when I gritted my teeth and took a Heavy Position, I ended up making money with my eyes closed.
The true logic of making money is to hold on and not move.

Really, that hits home. I used to be the kind of fool who stared at the market for eight hours a day, but now I just do Auto-Invest and it's actually more profitable.
Wait, the part about news sources is spot on; my biggest gain now is finding two or three reliable on-chain data sources to refer to, which is a hundred times better than guessing blindly.
To be honest, the most profitable moments for BTC and Ether aren't ones you can predict with Technical Analysis; it's that feeling of waking up and realizing it has already risen to the sky.

Sounds like it's causing anxiety for those who haven't made money again... The real problem is that most people simply don't have enough capital to "stake out".

This statement is harsh and indeed hits hard. I always felt my reaction speed wasn't fast enough, but the real issue lies here.
Maintaining a steady mindset is indeed much harder than the technical skills.
Only acting when the opportunity is right sounds simple, but it's really exhausting to do.
The days of chasing the price and selling with bearish market should finally come to an end; I still need to learn to wait.
This is why Large Investors always earn more than retail investors; they simply don't care about short-term fluctuations.
The source of information is particularly crucial; in the same market conditions, some people can react in advance while others are always slow to realize.
It's easy to talk about getting returns with closed eyes, but to truly do it requires a strong mindset.
Those who can't hold on are the ones being eaten by the market; that's fate.
$BTC This wave really needs to be thought through before taking action.

It sounds insightful, but to be honest, this trap theory is basically useless for retail investors... The real difference in information is what matters, and even if you can hold your ground, you're just playing along with the market makers.
