Many people get trapped in trading, but the root cause isn't in technology—it's in cognition.

You think you've found the perfect entry point, but it turns out to be the start of a reversal—an ideal exit point that instead becomes a doubling dream. Once the support level is broken, it immediately turns into a resistance level, and the market begins a new trend. Such examples are countless in the K-line charts of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I spent a lot of time studying technical indicators, only to realize: these tools are essentially replaying the past and cannot predict the future at all. Too many people focus on these indicators, becoming increasingly short-sighted, only seeing the market they imagine but missing the bigger trend. That’s why many traders are always caught in traps and repeatedly get liquidated—they’re chasing small gains while the market moves on a larger cycle.

Comparing the behavioral logic of capital makes it clear. Small accounts trade so frequently it’s almost crazy; large accounts have trading cycles so long you wouldn’t expect. Small retail traders focus on immediate uncertainty, while big capital looks at the big environment and major trends for certain returns. The fundamental difference? One is gambling, the other is investing.

Ordinary people don’t have much capital, and to achieve results in finance, there’s only one way: trade with a long-term trend perspective and let time gradually make you wealthy. This isn’t motivational talk; it’s reality.

I’ve taken this detour myself. In the early days, I wanted to speculate on every coin, but after messing around for a while, I saw little profit. Later, I changed my strategy, focusing on mainstream assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, and achieved stable, continuous growth. I realized a simple truth: the larger the capital, the lower the expected returns. People no longer aim for overnight riches—they just want to get richer slowly.

If you enjoy the thrill of trading, small amounts are fine for fun. But if you really want to live better through this industry? You need to ask yourself: what gives you the right to expect results from this market? The answer lies in cognition and strategy, not in technical indicators.
