Many people draw lines without understanding the basics. If you can't distinguish between valid and invalid lines, how can you talk about understanding the lines themselves?

In trading, line drawing techniques are essentially to help you quickly identify support and resistance levels of different degrees. Through trendline resistance or breakouts, you can more clearly grasp the price turning points and observe the specific price behavior at those levels.

Taking Figure 3 as an example, this is a typical invalid line—purely wishful thinking. The key is to understand that the purpose of drawing lines is not to decorate the candlestick chart, but to guide you in making smarter trading decisions based on real price action.

Honestly, a lot of people are just drawing lines for the sake of drawing lines, not really knowing what they're doing. I'm just worried about those self-indulgent lines; as long as they look good, that's all that matters.

That's so true, you can tell at a glance who is just doodling. Bro, your post is going to offend a bunch of self-righteous line-drawing masters, haha. Sometimes I just can't understand those people; they draw a bunch of lines and think they've achieved enlightenment. Drawing lines itself isn't really useful; the key is whether you can use them to make money—that's the core. Many people can't distinguish between technique and imagination, no wonder they're always losing. Drawing a line is like drawing a talisman; just believe in it.

Honestly, many people draw lines just to deceive themselves; they can't tell the difference between valid and invalid signals. If drawing lines can't guide actual trading, it's no different from doodling, really. I've seen a lot of invalid lines like in Chart 3; they're just psychological comfort. The key is to learn how to distinguish them; otherwise, more lines are useless. Sometimes I think, rather than drawing lines, it's more important to learn how to identify effective support and resistance. To put it simply, it still comes down to price action itself; lines are just tools. Many people treat drawing lines as hype, but little do they know, that's the easiest way to get trapped.

It's just mindless doodling, and they still think they're a master. Drawing lines is just for finding support and resistance; don't get caught up in self-congratulation. Wishful thinking lines are better left undrawn; you'll regret it when you're losing money. The key still depends on how the price moves; lines are just a reference tool. Honestly, I'm just afraid that beginners treat drawing lines as a secret to trading success, but in reality, it requires confirmation through actions. Some people really just draw a bunch of lines foolishly, thinking they've had an epiphany.

Honestly, most people are just drawing random lines and don't even know what they're doing. Real line experts can tell at a glance whether your line can make a profit. Compared to mystical lines like in Chart 3, I still trust the price itself to speak.

Honestly, most people treat drawing lines as decorations and fail to see the truly useful support and resistance levels. They start drawing randomly without even understanding the chart properly—aren't they just asking for trouble? Drawing lines is so simple, yet some people just can't seem to get it, and I feel anxious for them. Invalid lines are everywhere, and they think they've found the golden key—it's hilarious. Price movement is the real deal; focusing only on how pretty the lines look is pointless.

Amazing, most people are indeed fooling themselves by drawing lines without even properly calculating the risk factor before placing an order.

The truth is, most people just draw lines for the sake of looking good. Drawing lines is just two words: practical, not artistic creation. I've seen many of those wishful lines, and the most disastrous ones are the ones that blow up the account. If you don't find the right support and resistance levels, how can you make money later? That's nonsense. I see charts like in 图3 every day; too many people do this, and then they get liquidated. The key is to understand why you're drawing the lines, not just for appearance. Lines drawn on paper will eventually lead to big losses. I think your perspective is correct; drawing lines must be grounded in trading, otherwise it's useless.

After some thought, most people's lines are just self-deception. They can't distinguish between what is effective and what is not, so how can they expect to copy everything exactly? That's why so many people end up losing money on the lines they drew themselves. History repeats itself over and over, and some people insist on replacing logic with imagination. The real line should be validated by the price, not forcibly interpreted by you.

Really, too many people just draw randomly without knowing what they're doing. Drawing lines is simply two words—practical. Not for appearance. As for Chart 3, I looked at it, and it's just a fantasy line drawing, completely useless. The key is to ask yourself whether this line can help me make money. Most people draw lines for self-comfort, waiting to be proven wrong.
