Swing trading is actually just like farming. When no one is paying attention, quietly build positions; during normal times, do maintenance work—sweeping mines, adjusting positions, optimizing costs. When the market starts to frenzy and everyone is screaming, take profits in batches. Then repeat this process.

It sounds easy, but actually doing it is incredibly difficult. Because people always have a comparison mindset, always wondering why others are rising while they are not, always wanting to catch the trend.

But if one day you can let go of these ambitions, focus solely on a few strong logical principles, and strictly follow your own rhythm to build, hold, and exit positions without deviation or distortion, then everything will become clear. The market noise will no longer be able to reach you.

That's right, it's a mindset issue. I'm just too easily swayed by rumors and gossip, and I get extremely jealous when I see others making money. If I could really follow your logic, I would have achieved financial freedom long ago, haha. Oh, the comparison mindset hit me hard. It's always like this, I just can't control it. Talking about plans on paper is easy for everyone; the key is execution. I really lack in that area.

That's right, it sounds simple but it's deadly to actually do. I'm the kind of person who gets jealous when others hit the daily limit. The phrase "finding your own rhythm" really hits home, but the problem is how to stop watching the market. That's probably a false proposition. Farming crops? Here, it's more like gambling. Crops won't crash 50 points overnight. Can't stand the noise? Dream on. When the whole internet is screaming, someone is definitely bottom-fishing. Not moving at this time is the real challenge.

It sounds good, but very few people can truly do it. I'm the kind of person who gets jealous when I see others making money, haha. Having logic is not enough; mindset is the most difficult part. Letting go of pride is not easy; this is the real cultivation.

It's easy to say, but out of ten people who truly manage to stay calm and say "I won't rush even if others' prices go up," nine of them go bankrupt.

It sounds good, but how many can actually do it? I see people in the group shouting every day about sticking to their own rhythm, only to turn around and chase the highs. Ultimately, it's a mindset issue. Not many people can really resist temptation. Hearing this theory a hundred times is useless; the key is whether you can stay silent when others are making money.

It sounds good, but the real difficulty lies in this "letting go"—who can truly do it? When the wind turns favorable, your mind gets clouded, and there's no logic left. Getting excited just from hearing someone mention the market, only to get slapped in the face when you chase in—that's the norm, right? Those who can do it have long achieved financial freedom; we're still here struggling. Growing vegetables and trading cryptocurrencies can't be compared. If the vegetables spoil, you can admit defeat; if the coins are gone, your blood vessels might burst. If you can't stand the noise, that's also strength. We need to survive three bear markets first.

Sounds good, but how many can really do it? Those around me who keep shouting "execute according to plan"—as soon as they see a price rise for a day, they get FOMO and turn around to chase the high.

That's quite right, but the hardest part is execution. I always find myself chasing after those skyrocketing coins, only to get caught in them eventually. Really need to stay calm and stick to my plan. Not feeling envious when others make money—adjusting this mindset is harder than anything.

the accumulation phase discipline is real, but ngl most people lack the statistical fortitude to actually sit through it. they see whale wallet clustering patterns and panic into fomo instead of reading the data. pattern recognition without emotional noise—that's the only edge that matters, everything else is just behavioral noise masquerading as strategy.
