Trading for a long time will make you understand a truth: so-called advancement is nothing more than learning to follow the rhythm of the main capital flow.

I initially also got caught up in a pile of indicators, thinking that thoroughly mastering technical analysis would lead to victory. But I found that in the face of big trends, all those complicated routines are just a waste of effort.

In real market conditions, there’s no room for retail traders. You may be fooled countless times on minute or hourly charts, but the direction shown by monthly and weekly charts reflects the true flow of big funds. Those who go against this trend are mostly washed out in the end.

Good market conditions come from holding onto positions on higher timeframes. By enlarging the time scale, market noise automatically disappears, and your mindset stabilizes. You don’t need to count every candle; just confirm whether the direction is right, and let time do the rest.

If the big trend hasn’t changed, minor dips on lower timeframes can be entry points. Be decisive with stop-losses; if you can’t see the pattern clearly, wait and observe. The beauty of this trading approach is its large tolerance for error, allowing you to use small losses to test the true direction.

Many people get wiped out not because they see the wrong direction, but because they are driven by emotions—buying high and bottom-fishing repeatedly, essentially fighting against the market. The traders who truly survive are those who find a logical line and stick to it, patiently waiting rather than frequently wavering.

The market doesn’t care about your judgment. The core of trading is to capture the market’s momentum, confirm its existence, and then let it carry your order along.

As you increasingly understand the power of trends, trading becomes simpler. Abandon the temptation of short-term fluctuations, don’t get caught up in details, be patient and ready to enter, cut losses decisively when needed, and profits will come naturally. In the end, technical analysis will regress to the simplest form; only those who truly respect the trend will remain.
