In the afternoon, I was watching the market and overheard someone nearby lament, "This market is like waiting for leadership approval—it's just stuck there." I couldn't help but smile.



This actually reveals a common flaw in many people—whether it's workplace approvals or cryptocurrency market trends, we all fall into the same trap: eyes glued to every key point, waiting for that "breakthrough" signal to appear, while fearing to miss out. Watching the 15-minute chart is as frequent as refreshing the OA system.

The interesting part is that, in **both scenarios, the final test isn't about predicting accuracy but whether you can hold your own**. Asking around blindly before the boss makes a decision only causes trouble; reckless trading before the trend is confirmed often results in getting hit from both sides. Those who truly understand the market know a principle: during uncertain times, the greatest test is discipline—doing the work that needs to be done, monitoring the right levels, but never putting all your chips in prematurely.

It's not wrong to say that, but executing it is difficult for anyone. I'm currently the type of person who brushes 15-minute charts until my hand trembles, haha. --- Discipline is really easy to talk about but hard to practice. I admit I'm the type who can't sit still. --- Pouring a cup of tea sounds very elegant, but my hand has already stopped listening to my brain. --- The worst thing is when the rhythm gets messed up and you still have to force it. Being hit from both sides at that moment is really speechless. --- I see through it but won't say anything, but everyone is stuck here and there's nothing we can do. Just wait. --- Discipline is a hundred times harder than technical analysis. I really don't have the patience for it.

That hits too close to home. I keep watching 15-minute charts all day like a parrot, I really need to break this habit.

That's so heartbreaking, I'm just afraid I'm the one being hit from both sides... Watching the market every day is more exhausting than working.

That's so true. I used to spend 15 minutes on the chart until my eyes hurt, but I still kept getting repeatedly corrected. In the end, I realized you just need to hold steady and not operate blindly.

Really? I'm actually doing that right now, scrolling through the 15-minute chart until my eyes hurt. But it doesn't really change anything; I still have to hold it in.
