People flee during bear markets, but in bull markets, everyone is eager to chase the highs. The true logic of making money is often the opposite — planting seeds when the market is at its quietest, and harvesting calmly when trading is hot and information is everywhere.
No one has ever achieved financial freedom by chasing gains and selling losses. Those who survive cycles rely not on luck, but on their understanding of market rhythms. Price fluctuations are noise; cycle shifts are signals.
From a different perspective, your account growth never depends on how much you can profit from the next rebound, but on how deep your understanding of the market is. The depth of cognition ultimately translates into the height of your gains.

It sounds good, but how many can actually hold on? The Bear Market is indeed a window to enter a position, but the question is who really dares to repeatedly increase the position in the dark.
Those who chase the price should reflect, but to say "the thickness of cognition transforms into the height of returns"... sometimes luck plays a bigger role than we think, so let's not overly mythologize analytical abilities.
Everyone understands this trap theory, but execution is the real hell.
Let me ask you seriously, are you still increasing your position now?
The cycle theory has been talked about for so many years, but the key is who can truly endure the next real crash.
It sounds like giving oneself confidence... but the more of these articles there are, the more cautious one should be.

You're absolutely right; it's just too difficult to achieve. I'm the type who gets anxious when I see a rise and panics when I see a fall... I've learned my lesson now, haha.

I've heard the saying about planting seeds in a Bear Market a hundred times, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Watching my account shrink is even more painful than missing out on the rise.

The phrase "the thickness of cognition translates into the height of returns" is brilliant. The problem is that my cognition has been stagnant.

Momentum investing has indeed never produced wealthy individuals, but why do so many people still chase... human nature is tough.

I agree that switching cycles is a signal; there are too many reliable signals that can easily confuse the direction.

The words are beautiful, but how many can truly survive a Bear Market? Most people will still cut losses at the bottom and then watch others to da moon.

You're right, it's just hard to buy when it's the coldest, always wanting to wait for a rebound to enter a position, but end up chasing the price instead.
Those who can hold on during a Bear Market really make a lot, my fren did just that, didn't move at all last year, and doubled this year.
Understanding this is truly worth more than luck, those who see through the cycle and rhythm have already made enough.
Those who look at the rise and fall charts every day are really just wasting their time; cycles are the answer.
Wait, when you say "practitioners," are you referring to those who can endure psychological torment? I think that's the hardest part.

It sounds nice, but the reality is that most people will still cut losses at the bottom.

It sounds nice, but most people just cut their losses in a bear market. Who has the patience to plant seeds?
Really, knowing is easy, doing is hard. Those who can stick it out without moving are actually tough people.
I love the phrase "depth of cognition," but you probably need to experience a few collapses firsthand to truly understand it.
I've heard the cycle theory too many times, but the key is how to judge the bottom of the cycle—that's the real practice.

That's right, you just need to endure the loneliness. During the bear market, while others are cutting losses, we keep accumulating silently. When the bull market arrives, we'll be the ones laughing last.

nah this "accumulation phase" talk hits different when you actually map the wallet clustering patterns during these "cold" periods... most retail just sees price, doesn't see the algorithmic footprints

Sounds good, but there are very few who can actually do it... I am the one who bought the dip during the bear market until I went crazy.

Not a bad point, but how many people can really do it? Most are still cutting losses at the bottom, chasing high after a rebound, repeatedly cutting.
The idea that "cognitive thickness equals profit height" sounds nice, but in practice, the brain just shorts out haha.
I just want to ask, are the people who planted seeds in the bear market still alive? Not getting liquidated is already a win.
I hate seeing this kind of talk and start reflecting on myself again, feeling like I’ve been taxed on my IQ once more.
I understand the cycle, but the problem is I always get stuck in the "coldest" times, afraid of further drops. Is this a form of cultivation?
The game of practitioners, to put it simply, is about seeing who has the strongest mental resilience, not really understanding anything.
