History rarely repeats the same market narrative twice. Once a particular trading thesis or market story has run its cycle and played out in the markets, the dynamics shift. Traders who succeed understand this key principle—chasing yesterday's winning narrative is often a losing game. The market moves on to fresh themes, different catalysts, and new cycles. Recognizing when a narrative has exhausted itself separates profitable positioning from chasing ghosts.

Really not, some people just have to copy the narrative from the previous round, only to crash headfirst into the wall and die laughing.

That's right, too many people are still holding onto yesterday's pie, only to be violently beaten back by the market.

Are you copying the story of making money yesterday today? Bro, are you trying to harvest the leeks or get harvested?

Recounting stories is like suicide; the winning methods of the previous waves can never be applied to the later waves. This is the true truth.

That's true, but most people are still chasing yesterday's story, and by the time they realize it, they've already been liquidated.

That's true, but how many people can really do it? Most are still chasing yesterday's story.

That's right, many people are just getting caught up in this. The narrative from the previous cycle is no longer useful and must be discarded; the market has already moved on to the next story. Clinging stubbornly to yesterday's thesis is just inviting losses. The key is to sense when to switch, and that is the real skill.
