Many people ask when is the best time to enter the market. Actually, this question is asked backwards. Instead of obsessing over the timing of buying and selling, it's better to first get the direction right. I have seen too many people chasing hot trends, only to find that the direction is wrong, and no matter how precise their skills are, they can't save the situation. What are the core hotspots? What is the main theme of the market? These are the questions that must be addressed first. Skills are indeed important, but that's a second step. The first step must be to correct your perception—clarify your thinking. The market will continuously present opportunities, but opportunities only favor those who have already figured things out. Keep a close eye on mainstream hotspots, find the right direction, and then act. This is the underlying logic for stable profits.

That's right, I used to have the same problem. I would stare at the K-line charts all day until my eyes blurred, and as a result, I would completely miss the correct direction. --- If the direction is wrong, no matter how fast you move, it's all in vain. That hits hard. --- The core is to think clearly before acting; otherwise, no matter how advanced your skills are, they won't save you. --- Really, I see too many people around me doing this—chasing one hot trend after another, and their accounts keep shrinking. --- Opportunities on the market are always there; the key is whether you are worthy of that opportunity. --- This logic is sound, but the problem is most people simply can't understand it, and the more they think about it, the more confused they become. --- Cognitive correction > stacking techniques; this might be the eternal truth. --- Wait, so how can we quickly identify the main trend? It feels a bit vague. --- I think you still need to review more, look more, to get a feel for it. --- To put it simply, it's really hard to do, especially when you're in a rush for money.

That's right, too many people focus on K-line data every day, but they haven't even thought clearly about what they're actually betting on. If the direction is wrong, no matter how fancy the technicals are, it's useless. I have deep experience with this. If your thinking isn't clear, you won't be able to seize more opportunities. The key is to understand it first and not rush to get in. Really, most people operate in reverse; when an opportunity comes, they become at a loss.

Honestly, choosing the wrong direction really makes everything pointless. I had a crash like that before.

Honestly, the direction is much more valuable than the technology. I've seen too many people look at candlestick charts every day, only to chase a false hot spot and lose everything. Think clearly before taking action. Don't always rush to get in; there are so many opportunities in the market. There's nothing wrong with that, but the problem is that most people can't tell what is a real hot spot and what is just a trap to cut leeks. If the direction is wrong, there's really no hope. Instead of constantly pondering entry points, it's better to first understand the main market trend. It sounds reasonable, but when the market actually arrives, who can really hold on? It's still about chasing when the opportunity comes.

You're right, the right direction yields twice the result with half the effort. No matter how fancy the technology is, it can't save reckless buying.

Honestly, where are those who chased the hype now? Most likely they lost everything. If the direction is wrong, there's really no hope.

It sounds nice, but I see that most people can't tell the direction at all. They're just following the trend and getting caught in wave after wave of losses.

Direction is more important than timing, there's nothing wrong with that. Many people chase the trend and end up in a pit; instead of constantly watching K-line charts, it's better to first think clearly about what you really want to do.

You're absolutely right. Instead of asking about entry points every day, it's better to first understand what you're actually betting on.
