If you've been in this market long enough, you'll realize that everyone ultimately ends up on the same path.

It's this—once the direction is chosen incorrectly, all subsequent efforts are futile.

Looking at many indicators is pointless, analyzing thoroughly is pointless, reviewing at night is pointless. Once you start arguing with the trend's direction, the market simply won't give you a chance to reason. It only cares about one thing: are you standing on the right side?

Look, the market is clearly going up, but some people insist on worrying about "how likely is this pullback" or "will a top appear." In fact, the candlestick chart has already answered you with its actions. At this point, the right thing to do isn't to ponder blindly; it's to stop fighting against it.

Another common pitfall is even more painful—

Knowing the momentum is weak, yet still insisting on bottom-fishing, thinking you have a keen eye. Honestly, this isn't trading; it's throwing a tantrum. Don't believe me? Just look at the results: not only did you miss the bottom, but you also increased your position size instead.

The most painful truth is: losing money often isn't because you can't understand the market, but because you can't let go of your pride.

When prices are rising, you can't hold on; when they fall, you stubbornly resist, always trying to catch the perfect point. In the end, you're just getting squeezed tighter and tighter.

My understanding of trading has become much simpler now— I just ask myself one question:

Is this current trend in line with my expectations, or is it fighting against me?

If it's in line, participate. If it's against me, turn around and walk away. It's that simple.

The market doesn't need you to prove how smart you are; it only rewards those who follow the trend. Less showing off, more patience and compliance, and your account will be much more relaxed.

Actually, there's just one sentence worth remembering: in front of a trend, there's no luck—standing on the right side is the biggest advantage itself.
