Many people waste time chasing the perfect entry point, but in fact, that's not the most critical factor. What is the secret to making real money? Find the correct direction of value flow.

To put it simply, timing is not the decisive factor. You might enter a bit late, but as long as you judge correctly where the next round of funds will flow and which track the market hotspots will focus on, it can make up for the delay. Conversely, if you enter early but the direction is wrong, then it becomes a foolish move.

Instead of staring at candlestick charts every day to find that perfect buy point, it's better to spend more energy studying asset allocation logic, market cycle patterns, and the movements of mainstream funds. These are the foundational mindsets for long-term profit.

Dipping again to buy more, there's always a lower point. Don't be fooled by this kind of talk; it seems reasonable but in practice, most people are just bagholders. --- Capital flow? Ha, that's easy to say. Historical data has long proven that chasing hot spots only results in being cut. --- Having the wrong direction is indeed silly, but dare you say you can really judge correctly? I don't believe it. --- Studying these every day, but in the end, it's still human weakness at play. Sell on rebound—that's the trading philosophy. --- Late entry? Instead of risking it, it's better to wait patiently; the market bottom is the real opportunity. --- It's the same theory again. If the market had predictable patterns, retail investors would have already won. It's all just luck.

The ability to analyze capital flow direction can indeed outperform most retail investors, but saying "timing is not a decisive factor" is a bit off. On-chain data tells me that the accumulation cycles of whales are often the most critical timing windows.

That's very true. I used to be that fool staring at the K-line. Now I understand that you need to see where the money is flowing. Getting the direction right means you can make money even if you enter late; getting the direction wrong means even early entry is useless. This is my blood and tears story. Instead of looking for perfect entry points every day, it's better to study what the main players are doing. That's the real skill. Watching moving averages day in and day out is deadly; it's better to spend time studying capital flows. It's much more efficient. The key is to understand capital rotation and not be fooled by false breakouts. Only then can you achieve stable profits. Entering early isn't an advantage; choosing the right direction is the real key. I've learned this lesson from many past experiences.

That's right, I've lost quite a bit because I was stuck on the perfect entry point... It wasn't until later that I realized I need to watch where the money is flowing. Really, if the direction is right, even entering late can turn things around; if the direction is wrong, even early entry is useless. I'm also catching up on studying capital movements now, and I feel it's much more useful than just watching the charts.

Oh my god, you're so right. I was that fool who waited every day for the perfect buy point, and as a result, missed the entire market trend. After reading so many project whitepapers, I realize it's better to spend time understanding where the money is flowing. If the direction is right, being a day or two late doesn't matter at all. That's how I turned around from losses. Really, instead of stressing over a 0.001 price difference, it's better to research where the next hot trend is.

That's right. Instead of obsessing over the entry point, I'm now just watching the capital flow closely. If the direction is correct, everything else is easy to say; if the direction is wrong, even early entry is useless. The group of people who watch K-line charts every day are really gambling; those who study cycles are truly investing. This theory should have been popularized long ago to save many people from being caught as retail investors. Focusing on hot tracks is much more attractive than calculating perfect prices. Capital always flows to places with stories; don't go against the big funds.

Well said, this is the right path. I used to fall into the trap of looking at K-line charts every day to find the perfect entry point, but as a result, I missed several major market moves. Now, instead, I focus more on studying capital flows, and I’m earning more steadily. --- If the direction is correct, even entering late can turn the tide. Entering early with the wrong direction can lead to huge losses; I’ve seen too many brothers fall into this trap. --- Indeed, instead of watching the market all day, it’s better to spend more effort on analyzing where the big funds are flowing. I agree with this approach. --- Getting stuck on the entry point has taken me a long time; it wasn’t until I realized that capital flow is the real core. Now I feel much more comfortable. --- Asset allocation logic > perfect entry point; this formula really works. --- Spot on, many people get wiped out at what looks like the perfect entry point. --- The problem is that most people simply can’t see where the funds are flowing, and that’s the real difficulty. --- The foundational thinking part is spot on; in the long run, you need to think more deeply than others.
