Watching experienced traders' live demonstrations made me realize that I do have shortcomings in certain trading aspects. I can't fully grasp the details of their operations; my speed and reactions also can't keep up. Instead of forcing myself to do things I'm not good at, it's better to focus on my own rhythm.
My strategy is simple: identify the direction on a larger cycle, gradually position in key areas, and then patiently wait for opportunities at lower levels. This approach is slow but steady.
The principle of trading is that there's a fast way and a slow way—fast trading has its methods, and slow trading has its own rhythm. Not all opportunities are suitable for you; forcing your way in can easily lead to being trapped. Recognizing your strengths and sticking to strategies that suit you are the ways to survive long-term.

That's right, I'm the kind of person who reacts instantly to others' short-term moves and then gets nervous myself. So I might as well stay flat and wait for the big move.

Waiting patiently isn't really a solution. Can we really wait until the bottom has been accumulated for so long?

Oh, this is exactly what I've been doing all along. Lurking patiently is the real principle.

That's so true. I'm the type to take things slowly anyway, since the quick folks have already been through a few rounds of being cut.

That's right, I've already given up on frequent operations, it's more comfortable to wait for low positions to ambush.

Taking it slow is actually faster. This sounds simple but is the hardest to achieve.
That's why most people lose money; they always want to follow others' rhythm.
I've come to understand more and more about ambush strategies; you really have to be able to endure loneliness.

You're absolutely right. I was defeated by trying to be good at everything, but in the end, I was mediocre at everything. I still need to recognize my own capabilities.
