Don't remind me again today

In the past, I was so serious about watching the market—my candlesticks were drawn more meticulously than artistic creations, indicators stacked seven or eight layers deep, and I missed not a single piece of news. Now? With the market unanimously calling for a bear trend, what's the point of my analysis?



After a deep drop, every bounce feels like an "Are you there?" message from an ex, knowing it's a trap but still can't help but feel excited. My hands get itchy and I end up getting trapped, then I continue to scold myself for being foolish. I've tried lying flat a few times, and really, I'm done pretending.

I, a former die-hard bull, am now quietly blending into the ranks of the bears. It's not that I don't want to make money from the rise; it's that the market has taught me a lesson with real money: resisting a downward trend? That's like going against the universe. Shorting with the trend? You can make money while lying down. This wave of market conditions has purely turned good citizens into bears.

Of course, the bull market will definitely return. History always spirals upwards. But before that... I'll just follow the trend to make a living, as survival is the priority; being alive gives me a chance to turn things around.

Lastly, let me reiterate: going long or short are just means; position management is the real deal. Don't underestimate it; when you face a liquidation, it will be too late to cry.

The analogy from the predecessor is brilliant. I have also been fooled by rebounds time and again, really not learning my lesson. Lying flat and shorting is the way to survive; resisting the trend is just looking for death. Position management is spot on; how many people have completely exited because they didn’t heed this advice. This wave of market is indeed screening people; surviving is winning. Wait, seven or eight layers of indicators, when was that? Who still plays like that now? Going with the trend is much more useful than analysis; I’m doing the same now. The phrase about historical spiral rise is not wrong, but many people died in between. The predecessor's analogy really hit the mark; rebounds are like drug addiction.

Deserved it, who told you to keep going long, being docile in front of the trend is the way to live. --- This ex metaphor is brilliant, I believe it every time, and each time I pay tuition. --- Position management is truly my real father; my mom never managed me like this. --- Wait, there’s something wrong with your logic; short positions can also get liquidated, you know. --- Lying flat is really enjoyable, but my wallet lies even flatter. --- That set of seven or eight layers of Candlestick indicators should have been thrown away long ago; sometimes the more you look, the faster you die. --- Sounds good, but I was still taught a lesson by the market; this mentality of mine has also been honed. --- Do you remember how to go long now that the bull run is back? That’s the real problem. --- Life preservation comes first; flipping the situation can wait a bit; not losing is winning.

Indeed, this wave of the market has turned all the dead long positions into realists... I am too, from a Candlestick artist to following the short positions, it's quite ironic.

Haha, that metaphor from my ex was spot on, I always fell for it, but this time I finally learned my lesson. --- Lying flat really feels good, no need to watch out for critical hits every day. --- Position management is crucial, I need to engrave this in my mind. --- From being a dead long position to short positions, the education from the market this time was brutal. --- Going short with the trend and lying back to earn, this is reality. --- Knowing it's a pit but still can't resist, I understand too well, a bloody history. --- Living gives you a chance to turn things around, this sentence has saved the capital of many people. --- The historical spiral rise is true, but let’s focus on surviving for now. --- Candlestick indicators stacked seven or eight layers, just thinking about it now makes me tired. --- Both going long and going short lead to losses; position management is the true way.
