Many traders lose money, and the fundamental reason is a lack of respect for the trend. First, look at the big picture on the daily chart or higher timeframes—whether it's an uptrend, downtrend, or sideways—and then trade in the direction of the trend. Such trading will have a much higher win rate.

EMA is a good tool; there's no need for fancy indicators. EMA20 can observe the short-term trend rhythm, and EMA60 is the mid-term lifeline. When the price runs along these two lines, they serve as natural support or resistance. Many people overlook this and instead chase complex systems. In fact, simple and effective tools are the foundation of making money.

There's also an easily overlooked detail: resistance levels that are strongly broken often become new support. The reverse is also true—support levels that are broken may turn into new resistance. The exchange of these levels is a golden opportunity for trading. Mastering these three points makes your trading approach much clearer.

That's right, I now only look at the daily chart for decision-making. Short-term fluctuations are just a losing streak. EMA is really amazing. Those who pile on indicators are still losing money. I didn't understand the position reversal before, but now I understand how to operate.

That's right, it's that simple and straightforward. Many people insist on complicated and flashy things. Understanding EMA is enough; there's really no need to make it so complex. The support and resistance swap is indeed a window for bottom-fishing and topping out, but unfortunately most people can't see it.

It's true, but most people just can't do it. --- EMA20 and 60 are really amazing. I only use these two; other indicators are just IQ taxes. --- Follow the trend... sounds simple, but one tremble of the hand can go against the trend. --- The part about position swapping is indeed easy to overlook. I've suffered quite a few losses when bottom-fishing. --- The more flashy indicators you look at, the faster you lose money. Wake-up call came too late. --- Looking at the daily chart for the big direction is so crucial. Many people get wiped out on the minute chart. --- Support turns into resistance, resistance turns into support. Understanding this can save you a year of detours. --- Simple things are the most profitable. No matter how many times I say it, some people still don't believe. --- The problem is, knowing is one thing, but execution is still prone to chaos. --- There are no skills in front of the trend, only whether you follow or not. It's that simple.

To be honest, I've been using the EMA60 line for so long, and only now do I truly understand it... The worst loss I experienced before was due to chaotic indicator stacking. Now, the simpler it is, the more profitable it becomes.

You're so right. I keep messing up by not listening to advice and constantly making reckless trades on the minute chart, losing everything. EMA is really amazing. I'll delete all my indicator panels later. I didn't understand the concept of position reversal before, but now I see the light. This share is worth a follow. Simplicity and straightforwardness are the keys. Why can't I learn that? There are too many followers, but those who truly make money are quietly watching the daily chart.
