Many people look down on forward-looking trading strategies, instead mocking cautious decisions as hindsight bias. But the harsh truth of this market is—if you should hold, hold; if you should act, act—this is the dividing line for survival.

How many people avoided a disaster yesterday because they controlled their impulses, and how many were wiped out because they couldn’t hold back?

My trading logic is very clear. The night before last, I explicitly said I wouldn’t place any orders before sleeping, and I would wait until the morning to see the specific North American trend before making decisions. As expected, the market moved accordingly, and I only reserved a long position of BTC 88300 for myself. I also explained very clearly during the evening live broadcast—that I would definitely add to my position at this level and at 86670. This is not nonsense; it’s based on market rhythm judgment.

Those who agree with my trading philosophy don’t need much explanation, and I don’t need to justify the doubts of strangers. I have always believed in a principle in this market: dual-direction pursuit. It’s not about blindly bullish or bearish, but about flexibly adjusting based on the actual trends of main assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, etc., respecting both the trend and the risk.

BTC0,94%

ETH0,78%

SOL1,79%

Really, control is the key to making money, not prediction ability. Those who get liquidated are always looking for excuses; those who survive have already taken control. This round clearly shows who has discipline and who doesn't, the difference is huge. That's right, it's not just about being bullish or bearish, but about following the rhythm and swaying accordingly. I'm also waiting for the 88300 order; once the time comes, I'll go in. No need to overthink it.

It's quite heartfelt; indeed, surviving is the key to everything. Really, that wave of market yesterday, how many people got stopped out and lost their souls. That's why I also hold on if I can, and don't mess around. I believe in the concept of dual-directional pursuit—don't be stubborn and go all-in long or short. The key is execution; once you have a plan, you must resist the temptation.

Haha, this is the gambler's mentality. No matter how eloquently it's said, it's still just relying on luck. People who can't control their hands really should check their account balance warnings. Bidirectional efforts sound impressive, but what about those with poor execution? Forward-looking judgment... sounds impressive before the event, but afterward, it all becomes taken for granted. I've also tried the trick of not placing orders before sleep, but alas, I wake up feeling emo. In this market, everyone who survives shares one trait — they really can't hold back when they haven't bet right. I'm tired of hearing about margin calls; every month there are new "rising stars" around me.

That's right, control is everything; those who get liquidated are the guys whose hands tremble. I like the idea of going both ways; not following the trend means a longer life. You really predicted that 88300 move accurately; I watched the live stream. Last year, I was too greedy and ended up learning a harsh lesson... now I truly understand. The balance between holding and acting—that's real skill.

Honestly, I've heard this logic too many times before. Wait, what about the order at 88300? Has it been covered? Bidirectional efforts sound good, but I'm afraid it's just one-sided beating. Yesterday, how many people held on or continued to lose? No one keeps track of that. But these "I told you so" after-the-fact armchair quarterbacks are definitely more palatable than an outright liquidation. I just want to know if next time I lose money, I will still dare to stay so calm.

Ha, it's that kind of post hoc reasoning of "I told you so" again... The one who got liquidated yesterday probably really listened to some live broadcast. This market is the dividing line between gamblers and engineers. It's easy to say, but have you really endured a few black swan events? Controlling impulses is indeed valuable and more effective than any technical analysis.

It's the same old story, hearing it so many times that my ears are calloused. If it's right this time, you'll be bragging all afternoon; if it's wrong, you'll delete the preface. What's with all this talk about mutual effort? If it were really that clear and easy to get rich quickly, you'd already be doing it. Stop teaching people how to live. What happened to the 88300 order in the end? Don't just tell stories.
