A few words can explain the essence of trading: following the rules increases the chances of success, but retail friends probably won't take it seriously, haha, so it doesn't really matter how much I post.

An upward channel and a downward channel are both trap setups.
An upward trend with a small decline is a good opportunity to go long.
A downward trend with a small rise is a good opportunity to go short.
Sideways movement at high levels indicates distribution.
Sideways movement at low levels indicates accumulation.
In an uptrend, small dips are opportunities to buy.
In a downtrend, small rises are opportunities to short.
Holding support levels for too long will inevitably lead to failure.
Persistently attacking resistance levels will eventually break through.
