This morning, the first thing I did upon waking up is still the usual routine—buy the positions I should buy today, without fail. After completing the regular investment, I started running to the bathroom frequently, probably because I drank too much last night, and I was shuttling between the bathroom and my workstation all day. Only now do I realize that today's investment record is still in the draft box and hasn't been posted yet.
To be honest, the hardest part of dollar-cost averaging is not choosing the right assets, but turning it into muscle memory. Regardless of market fluctuations or mood swings, buy at the scheduled time every day, leaving no room for hesitation. Sometimes, when I'm busy, I do forget to review, but the buying action must never be delayed. After all, in this market, discipline is worth its weight in gold.

Haha, I drank too much last night but still stuck to my dollar-cost averaging. That discipline is incredible, I'm in awe.
---
The biggest test of dollar-cost averaging is execution; very few can do it unwaveringly.
---
The key is that even the toilet didn't stop you from sweeping the orders—laughing to death.
---
The muscle memory analogy is brilliant; it's about making buying-in an instinctive reaction.
---
Forgot to send the records haha, but the coins are already in hand—that's the real point.
---
Basically, it's about overcoming human nature; it's more difficult than choosing coins.
---
This is what a true dollar-cost averaging person looks like, not just someone shouting slogans.

Haha brother, your discipline is really exceptional. I just can't buy at the same time every day.
Dollar-cost averaging is really about execution. Most people fail because of this.
That glass of wine last night was worth it, at least it didn't affect your position. That's true expertise.
Honestly, I sometimes hesitate for two seconds because of market conditions. You, on the other hand, have the mindset of a winner.
By the way, how did you develop this muscle memory? Share some tips.
A person's self-discipline can be directly seen from their dollar-cost averaging habit. You are very restrained.
We can't gamble on the market, but discipline is truly something you can hold onto and let go of.
I feel like if you keep this up, your long-term returns will be guaranteed.
Dollar-cost averaging is a game against human nature. Your win is that you can resist temptation.

Haha, I can't learn discipline. I forget to post my dollar-cost averaging records all the time. Mine have long been stored in the cloud gathering dust.
---
Honestly, muscle memory is much tougher than choosing a coin. I'm now just hardwired with this reflex.
---
Can you still place an order after drinking last night? Truly, this is the strongest execution of dollar-cost averaging. I admire that.
---
Wait, are you saying you buy every day? No matter if prices go up or down? That's pretty intense. If it were a bear market, you'd need a lot of mental preparation.
---
I think the key is not giving yourself room to regret. Once you start to hesitate, it's over. Your approach is quite interesting.
---
Not posting the dollar-cost averaging records doesn't really matter. The money is already in the account anyway. The review is just for yourself.
---
Discipline is easy to talk about, but very few in the community can stick to it every day without fail. Impressive.
---
No wonder you can stick with it until now. If it were me, I would have skipped one or two days for various reasons.
---
So you never look at market fluctuations and just buy? Or do you look but leave the decision to the schedule?

Haha, there's really no one like this in discipline; even in the bathroom, they don't forget to dollar-cost average.
Dollar-cost averaging has to be done aggressively; having a good mindset is what makes a winner.
Discipline really isn't something you can sell, but it can make you money.
Buy at the scheduled time every day—sounds simple, but not many actually follow through.
The term "muscle memory" is used perfectly; you just have to do it this way.

Amazing, is dollar-cost averaging really this aggressive? I'm still debating when to bottom out.
Discipline is indeed valuable, but the frequent bathroom breaks had me laughing to death haha.
Muscle memory is right, it's really a test of human nature.
Forgot to post the dollar-cost averaging records, wait, what's going on here?
Buy regardless of rise or fall, sometimes I feel I can't do it.
This guy is really a tough person.
Every day, he consistently clears his positions without fail. I need to learn from this discipline.

Haha, discipline is a strange thing. I am like this, there’s no room for debate on dollar-cost averaging.
---
Yesterday was the same. After drinking, my mind was fuzzy, but I still didn’t skip the dollar-cost averaging. Truly amazing.
---
The term muscle memory is incredible. It makes the buying action as instinctive as a reflex.
---
Laughing to death, the dollar-cost averaging warriors between the bathroom and the workstation, salute.
---
Stop talking. I often miss the review sessions, but I’m never late to clear the positions.
---
The key is not to give yourself room to hesitate. Once you start to overthink, it’s game over.
---
Discipline is truly top-notch. Not many people can stick to it in this regard.
---
The buying action can’t be delayed. That’s the motto of staying alive, haha.
---
The biggest test of dollar-cost averaging is this persistence. Not a second can be slackened.
---
Just keep cycling like this every day. Over time, it becomes natural, like eating.

Haha, this discipline is incredible. Just remembering to make regular investments has already exhausted all my efforts.
Consistent investing really tests your willpower. If you can't stick with it for a few days, you'll start to slack off again.
This guy spends a whole day messing around in the bathroom but still manages to stick to his investment schedule—truly hardcore.
Buying at the right time every day, I need to learn this kind of persistence.
It's okay to forget to review, but the key is not to miss any buying opportunity. You're right.

This is true commitment. No matter how bad the stomach ache, you have to protect the market first. Truly impressive.
The key to aggressive dollar-cost averaging is — not letting the brain participate in decision-making, just executing mechanically.
I was wondering why this guy's account stability is so strong; turns out he's got rationality embedded in his DNA.
Come on, I tried for a week, and by the third day, I was already looking for excuses to jump out of trades. The mindset difference is huge.
He strictly adheres to buying discipline, no wonder he's avoided so many fluctuations.
Sounds nice, but let’s see if he can stay so calm when it really drops 20%.
That's the difference between winning and losing mindset. I'm still struggling whether to buy or not.
Muscle memory is the key, everything else is nonsense.

Haha, this brother's discipline is really impressive. I'm the type of person who starts questioning life after just a regular investment.
Defining investing's essence as anti-human nature, too many people lose because of temptation and emotions.
This is the real alpha, much more reliable than technical or fundamental analysis.
I've also tried fixed-time scanning, but I lost my persistence after two months. Sorry about that.
No matter how crazy the market gets, you have to buy. This kind of resolve is indeed rare among ordinary people.
