#密码资产动态追踪 Many people keep losing money when trading contracts. The problem is often not in judging the direction, but in completely losing the rhythm.



When it's time to sit still, they move around; when they shouldn't rush, they push hard upward—resulting in becoming more and more exhausted, ultimately losing everything.

My biggest realization recently is: every market phase has its own "temperament," and you need to learn to adapt to it.

**Morning Session: Clarify the direction first, don't act prematurely**

Focus on one thing—pull up the 4-hour and daily charts, identify support and resistance levels, and get a rough sense of the bulls and bears for the day. No need to rush into trading; just set the tone.

**Midday Session: Mainly sideways, watch and observe**

At this time, the market often gets stuck in the middle, repeatedly pulling back and forth. Either trade within a very small range or simply stay on the sidelines with no position. The biggest trap is chasing highs and selling lows during this phase—that's like giving money to the market.

**Afternoon: Volatility increases, beware of false moves**

Funds start testing the waters, and the market often makes two quick surges or drops. My routine is to lock in floating profits first, then wait until the trend truly stabilizes before following, avoiding being fooled by fake breakouts.

**Evening Session: Trend gradually takes shape, following the trend is most comfortable**

By this time, the direction is usually clearer, and a one-sided trend begins to emerge step by step. Trading along this established trend is actually the easiest, without overthinking it.

**Early Morning: Stay alert, avoid stubbornly holding on**

After running through most of the night, the market can tire out at any moment. During this period, it's better to earn a little less than to stubbornly hold on and get caught. Be respectful of violent reversals or deep corrections.

For short-term trading, I mainly look at small cycles, entering and exiting quickly. Honestly, trading contracts isn't about predicting with 100% accuracy, but about catching the right rhythm and making the right moves, then sticking with it longer.

honestly this hits different... like timing a soufflé rise, you can't just yeet it in the oven whenever. gotta respect the market's flavor profile at each hour or you're basically burning your recipe into ash

Exactly right, rhythm is the key. I used to get emotionally wrecked during sideways trading in the midday session, insisting on chasing the rally, and ended up losing everything by the end of the afternoon. Now I've learned to be smarter—when it's sideways, I just close my positions and relax, wait for the night session to trend in one direction, and then follow. It's much more comfortable.

This guy makes some sense, but I think the key is still mindset. No matter how good the rhythm is, without stop-loss discipline, it's all pointless.

Exactly right, it's really just a matter of rhythm. I used to chase aggressively during the midday session, only to be proven wrong every time. Now I just short and watch the show during the midday, much more refreshing.

That's really impressive. I always get caught off guard during the midday session, and I lose the most by chasing highs and selling lows during sideways trading.

That's so true. The midday rally was really a money-printing machine. I had been repeatedly drained during the sideways trading before. Now I just stay out of the market and watch the show, which is much more hassle-free.

Sigh, to be honest, I'm one of those who die on the rhythm. I clearly saw the direction in the morning session but still impulsively made random moves. During the midday session, I was even more of a frequent trader chasing gains and cutting losses. Now, all the painful lessons have turned into experience, but the tuition fee was just too expensive.

Wow, the midday session really hit me. Every time, I get wiped out by sideways trading and lose my wallet. Only now do I realize I'm actually giving money to the market.

The gist is simple: many people lost money during that midday surge. chasing the rally and selling off in panic is truly a bloody lesson...

That's quite true; most people get caught during the midday session. Chasing gains and selling off in a sideways market is really just giving away money.
