I've heard many people ask me two questions: "Are you optimistic about 2026?" "Are you pessimistic about 2026?"

My answer is neither.

To be honest, I have no interest in calling trades. That kind of trick where you rely on "predicting" market trends to satisfy your sense of cleverness, I don't play that game. Every time, someone confidently claims that this year is a bull market and next year is a bear market—what's the result? The market simply doesn't listen to them.

My logic is very simple: how the market moves, I follow accordingly. I don't decide the direction; the market chart does. Only act once the trend is established; don't make reckless moves before signals appear. Some people are tangled up in the big picture all day, but that's just a waste of time. The real opportunities to make money often come when you're willing to listen to what the market is saying, rather than making up stories yourself.
