After spending a long time in the crypto market, you'll realize a harsh reality: if the direction is wrong, all your efforts are in vain.
Countless indicators can be studied, market charts can be analyzed repeatedly, but as long as you're on the opposite side of the trend, the final result is often unsatisfactory. The market has no patience; it only recognizes results.
The market is rising, but some people keep wondering—will it adjust soon? Has it already peaked? In fact, the answer has long been given by the candlestick chart. The smartest thing to do at this point is not to question but to follow the trend. Never fight the market.
Reverse situations are also common. Even when the trend has already weakened, some still keep trying to buy the dip, trying to prove their foresight. Frankly, this is no longer trading; it's "sulking." The result is buying lower and lower, with positions getting deeper and deeper.
What really causes accounts to bleed is not misunderstanding the market, but holding onto that obsession. When prices rise, they worry and hesitate; when prices fall, they cling tightly, always hoping to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. In the end, both sides get slapped in the face.
My trading logic has been simplified to the extreme: I only ask myself one question—Is this trend helping me make money, or is it working against me?
If the trend is in my favor, I follow it. If it reverses, I withdraw immediately. It's that simple.
The market doesn't need you to show off your intelligence. It only rewards those who know how to follow the trend and dare to be humble. Let go of ego, respect the power of the trend, and your account will live more easily.
Just remember one thing: in front of the trend, there is no luck. If the direction is right, that itself is the strongest risk control tool.
Those who can survive and remain profitable in this market are always those who dare to act first.
Are you ready?

That hits too close to home. The money I lost over the past two years was all due to stubbornly sticking to the trend.

Well said, I'm the sucker who stubbornly stuck to the trend and got slapped in the face.

That's a great point. Recently, I lost quite a bit by stubbornly fighting the market.

That's a great point. What I fear most are those who stubbornly resist the trend even when they know it's reversing. It really pains me to see their positions.

You're right, obsession can be deadly. I previously fell for this trap myself.
I really am the biggest joke in the world, thinking I could buy the bottom, but ended up losing a lot. Now I’m afraid of everything, and this trade owes me.
Once the trend reverses, you should run. Not running is just fighting against yourself, and an account explosion is not far away.
Letting go of self-awareness hits hard. Many people die because of the three words "I just don't believe."
No matter how smart you are, if the direction is wrong, it’s useless. This is a painful lesson.

You're right, but I'm just afraid that even if I know, I can't change it. I'm the kind of person who babbles about a potential pullback when prices are rising, only to be proven wrong countless times.
