I will never get off the field while the market is stagnant!
Most people lose their patience during fluctuations.
It's not that the market lacks opportunities; it's that you got carried away when you should have waited; when you should have acted, your account is already in ruins.
When the K-line is flat, your hands get itchy; after 3 hours of stagnation, you placed 5 orders,
only to be stopped out repeatedly, caught in false breakouts, and left dazed; by the time the real breakout happens, you’re already on the sidelines catching your breath.
You think you are a master, able to grasp the fluctuations; but in reality, you are treating trading as a way to relieve stress, and as a result, your account collapses before your emotions do. Want to make money? Learn to "survive in a flat market":
① During flat periods, absolutely stay in cash, do not make ineffective moves, do not chase small fluctuations, do not gamble on the direction of breakouts; in a horizontal market, entering means giving away money, the real explosion comes from a trend following a consolidation, during a flat market, it’s the platform making money, not you!
② Don’t engage in “time-filling trades,” only do “structural trades.” If you don’t see a clear structure: don’t enter.
If there’s no pullback to support: don’t enter. If there’s no volume breakout: don’t enter. It’s not that there are too few opportunities; it’s that you want to trade too much and are imagining opportunities.
③ Patience is part of the skill; your account is most afraid of being ground down.
During the flat period, it’s better to not open a single trade for 3 days than to trade back and forth 3 times in a day and pay fees. The truly profitable trades are those that are waited for, not those that are “made.” If you want to flip your account, you must first endure the loneliness!
Stagnation is a time that tests people; most cannot withstand the patience and are quietly cleared out of the market during this time.
Focus on Longmen, keep up with my rhythm, and you will no longer frequently incur losses, nor will you prematurely disclose the breakout point! The next big market won’t wait for anyone, but whether you can wait it out determines if you can seize it.
