Trading, the most important thing is to capture the big cycle. Don't get caught up in minor fluctuations; look far ahead and focus on the main direction to achieve stable profits.

Many people have it exactly backwards—staring at minute-level pullbacks every day, afraid of missing out, resulting in frequent trades and continuous stop-losses. In fact, small retracements? That's the perfect time to get in. As long as you confirm the trend hasn't changed, dare to add positions.

Don't lose your composure when stopped out. The next wave of opportunities is often bigger than the current one. The key is to be patient and wait for the trend to truly start. Mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have obvious cycles; as long as your time frame is large enough, you will earn this sense of "stability."

That's right, I was losing money because I kept focusing on the candlestick charts. Now I've changed, and I can see clearly at the weekly level.

That's right, but you need patience and shouldn't be staring at the market every day to avoid affecting your mindset.

According to research, there is an interesting paradox here: the article emphasizes the importance of looking at long cycles, but in actual operation, most retail investors lack sufficient time frame data support. From a technical perspective, the so-called "confidently adding positions when the trend is confirmed unchanged" standard is inherently vague. Data shows that over 80% of adding positions occurs at the wrong time. It is worth noting that the article does not quantify the specific definition of "long cycle"—is it at the monthly level or longer? This missing parameter often determines the success or failure of the strategy. In summary, patience alone is not enough; a strict entry mechanism based on historical data also needs to be established.

This statement is spot on, but executing it requires a steel-like mental toughness. I especially agree with the saying — a small pullback is an opportunity to buy, it all depends on whether you're brave enough. --- It's easy to get itchy when looking at the K-line, especially during sharp declines. --- I've believed in this big cycle theory for a long time, now I just lack the discipline to not look at the market... --- Honestly, the hardest part isn't knowing you should look at the big cycle, but staying calm when you see a 10% drop at 3 a.m. --- I need to reflect on adding positions; I used to trade frequently, and after stopping out, my mindset collapsed for half a month. --- So, in the crypto world, you have to treat yourself like Sleeping Beauty — only check the charts when you wake up. --- But isn't that exactly what everyone understands but can't do...

It's easy to say that, and backtest data indeed supports this logic, but when it comes to the critical moment, who isn't simultaneously watching the 5-minute chart, averaging down, and cutting losses... I am no exception.
