What is the biggest insight you've gained in your trading career? Actually, it's very simple—most people see "opportunities," but in reality, they are not opportunities at all; they are carefully disguised traps.

Think about those who frequently get caught in trades. What are they doing? They often see a rebound and rush in, thinking only about "This must be the bottom" or "Now is the best time to enter." But here’s the problem: they never consider one question—if this is the bottom, why can't I see it clearly? What should the real bottom look like?

Reality is often very harsh. The position you think is the safest might actually be a turning point. For example, that strong support level you hold onto—once it is broken, it immediately turns into a strong resistance level. The market will then directly enter a new downtrend, and all the previous "reasons" will instantly collapse.

After years of studying trading techniques—candlestick patterns, moving averages, indicators... I’ve learned everything. But when I truly understood, I realized a cruel truth: technical analysis is merely a tool to improve your perception; it has no inherent connection to whether you make money or not. What truly determines your ability to profit continuously is not how accurate your technical indicators are, but whether your perception is clear enough and whether your trading strategy is scientific enough.

Perception is the root of everything.
