When the market emerges with a clear trend and consensus, the biggest enemy is often your own psychological barriers.

Many people fall into a misconception: always trying to figure out others' cost positions, worrying about how many chips they hold, fearing that those trapped at high levels will dump, or that those entering at low prices will lift the market. Essentially, this mindset is about competing with others' costs rather than dancing with the market trend.

The true trading logic should be: once consensus is formed, your focus should be on the direction and strength of the trend, not on the distribution of others' chips. No matter how low others' costs are or how much inventory they have, as long as the direction is consistent, it is all force driving this wave of market movement. Conversely, obsessing over these details will only make you indecisive at critical moments.

Simply put: follow the trend, not people's costs.

You're absolutely right. I used to have this problem myself, constantly studying others' costs... and as a result, missed several waves of market opportunities. Following the trend is the key, don't overthink it. If you can't get past this mental hurdle, even the biggest opportunities are useless. Exactly, hesitation at critical moments is the most fatal. When chasing trends, don't chase chips; simplicity and straightforwardness are the way to make money. I deeply understand; those who are tangled up in costs are ultimately educated by the market. It's really about believing in the power of consensus; don't doubt yourself. The traps are all dug by yourself. Once you understand this, you'll live through it.

Hey really, every time someone is calculating others' costs there, and as a result, they miss the entire wave of the market haha Just follow the trend, don't overthink it Actually, most people are just ruined by psychological barriers, honestly The consensus has already formed, yet they are still tangled up in chip distribution, ridiculous That hits the nail on the head, heartfelt words Someone should have said this so directly earlier Those who are tangled up in cost positions are basically losing money In front of the trend, everyone is a brother, why bother watching others' tickets Well said, it's that simple

That's a brilliant point. I used to be that kind of idiot who spent all day calculating others' costs, but every time it mattered most, I failed. Forget it, forget it. Just identify the direction and go all out—it's more important than anything. You're right. In the face of trends, everything else is pointless. If you can't get past your mindset, it's all for nothing.

Haha, you're right, it's just that I tend to overthink and end up ruining myself. --- Rather than calculating others' chips, it's better to focus on the market chart. This principle is simple, but few can really do it. --- Talking about following the trend is easy... but when it comes to critical moments, I still hesitate. --- I'm the kind of person who always wants to know others' costs, and I lose money really fast. --- The biggest fear is overthinking, and as a result, missing the entire wave of the market. --- Once consensus is formed, don't think too much, or you'll just end up on the floor. --- Honestly, people who get caught up in cost distribution can't make big money. --- This sentence really hits home; psychological barriers are truly the biggest killers.

I just like this straightforward way of speaking, don't make it so complicated, just go with the trend.
