Truly skilled traders are never slaves to the screen.
What are they waiting for? The moment that can be seen through at a glance. When the price reaches a position where they must act, and the pulse of the trend beats clearly, only then do they make their move.
They remain calm and patient, not fooled by the ups and downs of the K-line, only taking the most confident part of the trend initiation, and seizing the moment of trend reversal.
Look at the daily routines of top traders—it's actually quite boring—they spend a lot of time observing and waiting, with very few actual trades. But every one is precise.
Why?
Because they are not gambling; they are using the market's own规律 to add to their position. Those who can't get the rhythm right are just relying on luck. Those who always get the rhythm right are懂市场.
Simply put: understand before acting; once you act, no regrets. This is the biggest difference between those who survive and those who are淘汰.

yeah, that "wait for the perfect setup" stuff sounds good till you realize most people calling tops and bottoms are just lucky once, then blow up spectacularly on the next move. the market's rhythm? nah, it's more like a correlation matrix that shifts every other week depending on what some fed official had for breakfast tbh.

I've heard this rhetoric before; 2018 was the same way. What happened to those traders who "timed the market" perfectly? They all died during the bear market.

That's easy to say, but the key is whether a few people can really do it. Most are still just watching the market every day and getting caught in the trap.

Sounds good, but to be honest, most people can't wait at all; they panic at the slightest pullback.

It sounds good, but the key is to have enough capital to withstand the wait. Retail investors are not that free.

Sounds good, but how many can actually do it? I just watch the market every day, but I still end up buying high and selling low.

Sounds good in theory, but who can really do it in practice? I, for one, am watching the market every day.

Well said, but the core of this "understand before acting" logic is essentially an incentive compatibility problem—most people simply lack mechanisms to restrain themselves from acting immediately. Without a mandatory proposal process or clear exit rules, the outcome is either FOMO-driven buy-ins or getting cut. Truly top traders rely on precise control of capital size and risk exposure, not just mindset.

Sounds good in theory, but in reality, most people can't wait, their hands are itchier than their brains.
