“Am I looking at the K-line, or is the K-line looking at me?”

Every time the stop loss point is precisely breached, right after buying it drops sharply, right after selling it takes off...

You start to doubt: Is the trading software secretly equipped with a camera? 😂

But the truth is often not so mystical — it’s that you’ve already exposed yourself!

This article makes it clear: Retail investors don’t lose due to intelligence, but due to human nature.

What the big players harvest is never technique, but our “predictable” behavior.

💥 Who is the easiest to be harvested?

The article lists 5 types of retail investors that are “easy to harvest”, and after reading it, I almost thought it was describing me 🙃:

1️⃣ The emotional player whose heart races at the sight of just two bullish candles

2️⃣ The fast trader who goes ALL IN just because someone said something exciting

3️⃣ The impatient one dreaming of overnight wealth, unable to hold

4️⃣ The free spirit whose position relies on luck and stop loss relies on prayer

5️⃣ The viewer who thinks they are doing research but is actually just following the rhythm to eat

These aren’t personas; they are our true reflections when we are FOMO-ing, cutting losses, and regretting.

So how do we transform from “easy to harvest” to “anti-harvest” players?

👇 The author suggests a few points that I wholeheartedly agree with:

Establish your own trading logic: it’s not about “can I enter”, but “why enter, where to exit”

Stop loss ≠ cowardice, it’s about keeping the next opportunity alive

No trading when emotional, maintain discipline in capital management

Looking at K-lines is not as good as looking at on-chain data; looking at hot searches is not as good as observing position changes

🔥 I’ll add one more point:

Not every project is worth holding long-term, but every trade deserves to be taken seriously.

No matter if today you are liquidated, harvested, or just recovered:

As long as you are willing to learn to stay clear-headed, the next harvesting knife won’t fall on your head.

Have you ever had a magical moment where your stop loss was just set and then got swept away?

Have you ever felt resentment after cutting your position at the bottom, only to see it surge?

Feel free to leave your “harvesting memories” in the comments,

Let’s all remember to be “anti-harvest” together.
