Traders who are glued to news all day are most likely to get caught off guard, especially those who haven't established a solid trading framework.

Watching one coin hit the daily limit, another coin take off, it seems like opportunities are everywhere. But what’s the result? Eyes are dazzled, chasing after each one, only to find themselves completely overwhelmed and driven by emotion—getting overly excited when chasing gains, and panicking when selling off.

This is the fate of relying solely on short-term information trading.

Want to avoid pitfalls? Having a solid logical framework is a prerequisite. Don’t be too superstitious about short-term fluctuations; demystify them when needed, and don’t let them dominate your decision-making. Otherwise, success will remain quite distant from you.

Really, I've seen too many people just scroll through news and then go all-in, ending up with heavy losses. Without a framework, you're just a gambler; no amount of information can save you.

Really, this is how I am now, my eyes are exhausted from scrolling every day. Don't rush to get started before setting up the framework properly; it's easy to get cut. I've learned from this round; I feel like a slave to short-term information. Deeply realize the importance of building a framework, or it will be a total waste. Awesome, you're so right. I've tried the chasing gains and selling at losses approach, it's incredible.

I just want to ask, how many people can really stick to not refreshing news A serious framework is indeed important, but it's easier to say than to do

Wake up everyone, trading without a framework is just gambling. As someone who constantly consumes information, I've already lost so much that I have nothing left but my underwear. Framework > information, this is truly a painful lesson.

That's so true. Nine out of ten of my friends who chase hot topics every day end up losing everything. Without a framework or discipline, they just chase the trend, no wonder they get cut off.

I think you're absolutely right. The framework is more important than the news, or else you'll get cut every day. Chasing highs and selling lows, you're just chasing fish that others have already eaten. People who only look at information are just gambling. Without a framework, you're just giving away money. I have deep experience with this wave. Now I only focus on long-term logic, and short-term fluctuations are just air. Those who spend all day scrolling through K-line charts are cannon fodder. It's time to stop and think about your trading system.

I'm exactly the typical trader who chases gains and sells at losses. Now I finally understand what "being hijacked by information" means. You're so right; the framework is the key to survival, otherwise it's just the fate of a leek.

I think this article hits the nail on the head, but to be honest, I still have a bunch of people around me who are glued to the charts every day until their eyes blur. You guys really just lack a trading system; people with a framework actually spend less time watching the market. Anyway, I've already figured it out. Right now, I mainly rely on dollar-cost averaging and signals. Emotions are actually the biggest enemy.
