Many people treat the phrase "I am a sucker" as a catchphrase, repeating it over and over. To be honest, the painful truth is that it's not that you can't turn things around; it's that you don't really understand how to do it.

The traders I have come into contact with all have similar starting conditions: liquidation, losing everything, borrowing money, heavy positions, and all-in operations. They all think it's bad luck, but in fact, no one has taught them how to survive.

What happened later? Some people rolled from five thousand yuan to more than fifty thousand in three months; some turned a debt of one hundred thousand into a positive return; and there are others who didn't employ any clever tactics, just learned one trick — controlling the rhythm of losses, their accounts were stable to the point they couldn't believe it.

I won't talk to you about K-line patterns, indicator techniques, or those profound theories. I won't sell any "guaranteed profit orders." I will only teach one thing: be foolish, slow, and steady, and in the end, you'll survive. Don't predict the market, don't gamble on rises and falls, and don't chase highs recklessly. What I teach is: a sense of rhythm, probability thinking, and contrarian operations based on human nature.

What transforms a person from having a "liquidation physique" to "stable profits" is never a technical indicator. It's the sense of rhythm.

Why do most people lose money? It's not that they can't understand the charts, but rather that no one tells them when to stop, when to be patient, and when to take action. I have seen too many cases of "liquidation habitual offenders" turning into "stable harvesters," and I clearly understand what they lack—not market opportunities, but a sense of direction; not trading signals, but precise timing.

Taking this wave of Ethereum's rebound as an example: from three thousand to over eighteen thousand. After saying it for several days, those who dared to follow have already cashed out, while those who hesitated are still questioning life.

To put it bluntly: it's not that you lack opportunities, but rather that you lack a person who understands the "rebalancing rhythm" to give you a hand at the right moment. Those who believed have already cashed out, while those who don't believe are still reviewing the reasons for yesterday's explosion.

Remember this: the market does not wait for anyone, positions do not wait for anyone, and the only thing that can change is your choice at this moment.

You're right, having a sense of rhythm is key. I used to be a frequent victim of getting liquidated, but later I learned when to stop. This wave of Ethereum has indeed taken off, and the brothers who entered a position early are already sipping tea, while we're still here tangled up in when to follow. Suckers aren't a fate; it's just that no one teaches you how to survive. Honestly, not understanding market data is easier to fix; the hardest part is this sense of rhythm, which boils down to self-discipline. Controlling losses is much more reliable than chasing after huge profits; this statement hits hard. Read, turn around, and continue waiting for opportunities. The market doesn't wait for anyone, but those who wait usually don't make much money. This is why most people can only tread water forever; what they lack is just that turning point. From five thousand to fifty thousand, you can only say that if it has really happened. While others are making money, you're still questioning; this is the gap.

There’s nothing wrong with what you said, it’s just that the rhythm really gets to people. I used to be a Heavy Position maniac too, but now I realize that controlling myself is much harder than reading the market data. Oh my gosh, I’ve seen cases where five thousand turned into fifty thousand, but most people just can’t stick it out; once their mindset collapses, it’s all gone. Talking about rhythm sounds easy, but actually doing it really goes against human nature. So many people know they should wait but can’t help but enter a position. Just looking at technical indicators is useless; the key is to have someone help you hold back and not get reckless, otherwise, there are too few people who can survive purely on self-discipline. There were indeed people who made money during that wave of ETH, but many more might still be cutting losses. To be honest, I regret not realizing this principle earlier. Only those who can survive are the winners; it’s much harder than predicting the market trend, and this statement really hits home.

What you said makes sense, but too many people lack the execution power. Just listening feels right, but when it comes to the real market data, they start to chase the price and sell with bearish market. The sense of rhythm is something you have to invest money to understand. --- It's easy to say having a sense of rhythm, but in practice, you have to go through a few Get Liquidated events to truly understand it. Otherwise, who can resist the urge to act... --- This statement hits hard and goes straight to my heart... To be honest, I was just like that before and got liquidated. Now I’m trying to adjust my rhythm and see if I can really stabilize. --- Waiting patiently for this is harder for me than anything else. Every time I think missing out means disaster, yet I still fall into traps. --- I believe half of the example from five thousand to fifty thousand; the other half depends on whether it's survivor bias. In any case, I'm currently in the exploration phase. --- The saying that the market doesn't wait for anyone is the most real. Missing out is missing out, and you can't blame anyone; it’s your own choice.

I’ve said it before, the sense of rhythm is the most crucial. Those who followed are laughing now, and those who are still tangled up in the Candlestick really have no hope. I laid out my position in Ether back in March, and those who are still doubting now are typical of those who missed the opportunity. To be honest, the opportunity is right in front of you, yet you’re afraid to take action. Who can you blame? You can only blame yourself for lacking the foresight. There are too many cases like going from five thousand to fifty thousand; the key is that someone needs to advise you on when to act, otherwise you’ll always be in the suckers category. Just look at those who got out early; I’ve said before that this is the right time to get involved, but they had to wait until they got liquidated to regret it. In fact, it’s about the perception of timing. The trend is set; still hesitating now is just digging a hole for yourself. The three words clumsy, slow, and steady sound simple, but very few can truly achieve this. This is the root of the wealth gap.
