Don’t wait for that “perfect best entry point” you’ve imagined—most of the time, you’ll never get it. $BLESS
There are too many friends around me who have this problem in trading: when the target drops to 100, they hold their positions and refuse to move, determined to wait until it falls to 80 to enter. But once it really hits 80, they start panicking—afraid it will break down and drop straight to 50. Their hand hovers over the buy button for a long time, not pressing it. Just when the price finally bounces and reaches 120, they slap their forehead and think, “Buying now is too expensive—there’ll probably be a pullback.” In the end, they watch the price climb higher and higher, and when they look back, all that’s left is, “If I’d just bit the bullet and bought back then.” $SNDK
What’s most frustrating in trading is never discovering an opportunity—it’s having the opportunity right in front of you and whether you have the courage to press the confirm button. I once knew a veteran player who’d been trading for three years. Last year he watched a sector project for almost two months. The price fell from 5 down to 3. He insisted it would drop to 2 and wanted to save his bullets for the very last moment. As a result, the lowest it ever dipped to was only 2.8 before it turned upward and climbed all the way to 15. He missed the entire move, and didn’t even catch a single bite of profit.
Later he complained to me, saying he clearly understood the bigger direction, so why couldn’t he hold on, why did he always miss it? The answer is actually very simple: it’s not that you lack judgment—it’s that you’re too fixated on buying at the absolute bottom of the market. The market never pre-labels the “lowest point” or “highest point” for you in advance. Mature traders don’t make a living by guessing the bottom and top—they rely on acting on a certain probability.
Once the trend is clearly strengthening, volume starts expanding, and the price reclaims the key support level you’ve been watching for a long time, those signals are there—then build your position in batches. Even if you buy a few points higher than the lowest point, what’s the difference? Trading is about making money from the whole trend, not about guessing those few cents or a few dollars at the bottom. If you keep trying to eat the whole fish from head to tail, in the end you often don’t even touch the fattiest part.
Good trading never requires being perfectly accurate every single time. Enter in batches, control your drawdowns, and follow the trend. Allow yourself to buy a little more expensively. Don’t wait idly for a perfect price that fundamentally doesn’t exist, and end up turning the real opportunity that belongs to you into someone else’s profit.
