Sure, markets are driven by emotion. But that's precisely why you can't trade like the crowd does.
Think about it—if everyone panics, prices crash. If everyone gets euphoric, they spike. Yet most traders get swept up in the same waves they're watching. The difference between winning and losing often isn't about having better information. It's about having a different mindset.
When sentiment shifts, your conviction shouldn't. Your strategy shouldn't either. That's the edge.

That's true, but how many people can really perform reverse operations? Most are still driven by emotions and only fooling themselves.

That's true, but very few people can actually perform reverse operations; most are still driven by emotions.

That's true, but the problem is that most people know this principle but can't do it. Reverse operations are much more difficult than just knowing about reverse operations.

Laughing and then crying, another "reverse thinking" master teaches us how not to be a leek
Wait, isn't this logic reversed? Most people are learning "contrarian strategies," so wouldn't those who use contrarian strategies become the new "majority"?
King of memes says about coins: How many BTC is your conviction worth? When it hits the liquidation line, is your conviction still strong?
This is why we all get wiped out by "holding positions until dawn," with tears and laughter, everyone

That's right, but most people still get cut even after knowing this truth. Mindset is really more difficult than anything else.

NGL reverse operation is really satisfying. When I see others panicking, I stay calm. This is what it feels like to be alive.
