"Following the Market Leader" — Don't go against the trend in the crypto trading world. To put it simply, there's only one thing: are you following the big funds, or are you fighting against them? Many people lose money not because they can't read K-line charts, but because they have a persistent obsession — "This position is already very low, right?" "It doesn't make sense to fall further, right?" "I think there's going to be a rebound here." But what happens? The market never recognizes what you think. When the market is rising, you go short; when it's falling, you try to buy the dip; during sideways movements, you keep heavy positions and go all in every day. Then you lose money while comforting yourself: "I'm trading on the left side," "I'm laying out my positions." To be blunt: the market makers are pushing the trend, and you're just proving how smart you are. What does it mean to dance with the market leader? It's not complicated or mysterious. It boils down to three points: during an uptrend, don't keep thinking about shorting during a downtrend; don't keep buying the dip in a trendless market. When the price already shows you the direction, and you insist on rationalizing against it, losing money is no surprise. Why is trend-following trading easier? Because you're not fighting the market; you're just waiting for the market to take you out. It's okay if your entry isn't perfect; as long as the direction is right, a pullback is an opportunity, and sideways movement gives you time to get in. But what about counter-trend trading? Every trade has to be just right; a little slow means getting caught deep; hesitation could lead to liquidation. This isn't trading; it's gambling with your life. The biggest problem for many is: the trend has already started, but they're still studying whether it's a false breakout; the structure has already broken down, but they still fantasize about "one more rebound." In the end, they don't die in the market but in their own judgment. Remember one simple truth: when the market is strong, don't show off; when the market is weak, don't indulge in illusions. Dancing with the market leader doesn't mean every trade will be profitable, but at least you won't die too quickly. When the trend is wrong, the more effort you put in, the more seriously you'll lose. This is the cruelest and most honest truth of trading.
