Recently, there has been an interesting phenomenon in the market—indices are rising sharply, but very few are actually making money. This phenomenon actually reflects a classic market disconnect, and the next likely step is for the index to pull back to the 10-day moving average for support. Instead of chasing highs at this point, it's better to adjust your strategy.

How to approach mid-term trading? Maintaining restraint is key. Keep your position around 30%, which is the most testing of your mindset—being able to hold on until the index completes its correction and rebounds is the real opportunity. Many people get stuck during this waiting period, and as a result, miss the next turning point.

Short-term trading is actually clearer—use 30% to 50% of your capital to roll over positions, but the prerequisite is that you must be able to select stocks well. Strong stocks should be decisively bought on dips, while weak stocks should be avoided—it's that simple. In a volatile market, only those who can perform swing trading will make money; greed will only cause trouble.

The index is rising happily, but the pockets are empty—truly incredible. Just wait for the pullback; anyway, I've already given up on bottom-fishing. Basically, it's about mentality—if you can't hold, you'll lose money. Buy the strong stocks at the bottom, stay away from the weak ones—there's nothing wrong with that. Feels like I'm always in that "waiting period"... missing every rebound.

The index is rising sharply, but no one is making money. This is ridiculous. Wait, isn't this the eternal fate of retail investors... Only those who truly understand swing trading can survive; greed will eventually lead to losses.

The index is rising happily, but the pockets remain unchanged. This feeling is truly amazing. Self-control is really a luxury; most people simply can't do it. That's why swing traders live more comfortably than those chasing highs. Waiting for the 10-day moving average, my patience is almost gone. Buy the strong stocks at the bottom, avoid the weak ones—sounds simple but actually very difficult. A 30% position is enough; it all depends on who can hold on. Splitting is always a test of mental resilience. Those who can truly profit are those who know how to wait. Short-term trading? The prerequisite is that you must know how to select, which is the most painful part. Greed is definitely the biggest trap in the market, no doubt. When the rebound comes, you regret not having enough position—it's the old routine again.

The index surges but you can't make money. To put it simply, retail investors are still buying at high levels. Let's wait for a pullback; it's the hardest part to stay patient. Only strong stocks are worth trading; don't touch the others. It's easy to say but hard to do, brother. This time, you really need to be patient. Greed for quick gains will only lead to losses.

The index is rising so aggressively, but the account shows no movement. I knew it was another fragmented market, really happens every time. Waiting for the adjustment, that's the hardest part. Seeing opportunities to make money right in front of you, but you just can't bring yourself to act. The mentality is truly incredible. Don't chase the high, brother. I got burned here last time. Now, with 30% of my position, I'm lying flat, waiting for a rebound. Only strong stocks deserve to be bottom-fished. Don't even try to touch others. Too many people get stuck at this greed step.

Index gains are nothing, retail investors are all losing... This is the reality. Wait for a pullback, I’m holding 30% of my position to buy the dip and wait for a rebound. In the short term, just pick strong stocks; don’t even touch the weak ones, it’s that simple. Keep a steady mindset, waiting for opportunities is much better than chasing highs. Exactly, greedy people always end up paying tuition fees.

Good morning, night creatures. This wave of market rally is a typical example of a sandwich attack—those above eat the meat, those below drink the soup. Most people didn't even get to drink the soup, revealing the true nature of a liquidity trap. Waiting for the retest of the 10-day moving average is the real dark pool trading opportunity. Don't rush in now and become the next leek. I support limiting the position to 30%, which depends on how many can endure this long wait for midnight arbitrage—most people get stuck in silence, waiting for the rebound in the robot paradise, and by then, it's no longer their turn. The short-term rolling trading strategy sounds sincere, but those who know how to choose profit from the excess gains in the gas wars, while those who can't will even lose their miner tips.

The index is rising happily, but the account remains unchanged. I know this feeling too well, it's truly frustrating. Waiting for a pullback is more comfortable than chasing highs. Holding 30% of your position tests your resolve. Honestly, most people can't endure this stage. For short-term trading, you need to pick strong stocks. Don't look at weak ones. Swing trading can indeed be profitable, but greed will eventually make you give it all back.

The index is rising happily, but the wallet hasn't moved. This feeling is absolutely amazing. I'll consider entering the market again when it retraces to the 10-day moving average. Currently chasing highs makes you a rookie. Holding 30% of your position without moving is much better than the mentality of chasing gains and selling at a loss. Strong stocks are bottoming out; weak ones should be avoided. It's that simple, yet some people still want to be greedy. Those who are truly making money are waiting. The rebound is the moment to harvest. Swing traders are laughing. Those who are going all-in now must be feeling pretty uncomfortable, right?
