Buy low, sell high, it sounds simple—but how many can actually do it?

The key lies in mindset. When everyone is chasing the highs, you need to hold back. When the market is silent and nobody's paying attention, that's when you must dare to act. This is called the unity of knowledge and action.

Short-term fluctuations may tempt you to buy the dip early or to withdraw prematurely. But if you can withstand these temptations and patiently wait for the real opportunities—you will have already accurately positioned yourself at the three lowest points while others are still watching and hesitating.

Missing out on slightly higher gains is worth avoiding a complete wipeout over the last penny. Such principles determine the quality of your final returns.

Seeing my brothers around me clocking in and gathering, witnessing this wave of market movement together. Now just waiting for the next target, to continue this pattern. Find those overlooked opportunities, and use discipline and patience to harvest—this is true trading wisdom.

That's right, but the execution is just way too poor. People talk about buying low and selling high, but when the opportunity actually comes, it's whether you dare to pull the trigger that really tests you.

That's right, the key really is mindset, but it's easier to talk about than to do. You need to have iron-blooded self-control. It sounds familiar, but probably only one or two out of ten can really endure the lowest point. Most people are washed out by the fluctuations. I agree with this logic; many people don't recognize the right moment and always want to take off early, but end up missing the most lucrative opportunity.

That's true, but it's really difficult. I'm the kind of person who gets anxious whenever there's a drop, haha. I still need to keep practicing.

That's right, but the concern is that even if you know, you still might not be able to do it. I've seen too many people who can't sit still when the market moves, and chasing highs ends in disaster. The key really is mindset. When others are screaming, you need to stay calm, which truly tests human nature. The idea of precisely positioning at the three lowest points might be a bit idealistic, and in actual operation, it's very difficult to control so perfectly. But indeed, earning a little less is better than suffering a big loss; this logic is correct.

That's right, but the hardest part is maintaining the right mindset. When others are frantically chasing highs, you have to hold back—what incredible self-control that takes.

It sounds nice, but there are very few who can truly hold on... I've been through it too, and the hardest part is watching others eat meat while I have to resist not to move.
