To be honest, it has been quite a while since I last saw a significant drawdown in my account. Although I can't always accurately grasp the market rhythm and occasionally miss out, as long as I can seize opportunities, they are usually those big market movements that can be exploited.

It is also because of this that I have basically given up short-term trading. Rather than frequent trading, it is better to focus on finding those medium to long-term cycles with sufficiently high cost-performance ratios—this way, the quality of individual returns becomes more stable.

Recently, I've seen quite a few people in the community discussing methods for technical analysis and capturing big trends, which I find quite interesting. I want to ask everyone, what do you think a professional analyst should be like? Besides market judgment, what other areas of their analytical framework are worth improving or perfecting? Feel free to share your thoughts.

I think the key is to have a stop-loss discipline; otherwise, even the best framework is useless. I totally agree with this veteran's short-term warning; there are really few people who can catch big waves. Professional analyst? Honestly, you should prove that you can maintain consistent profits first. Missing out is even more painful than losing money, but this is precisely a sign of a mature mindset. The cost-performance ratio of swing trading is indeed much better than spending half a day reviewing and only earning a lonely profit.

Buying the dip halfway up the mountain is the most torturous Missing out is even more painful than losing money, really The mid-term is the right way; short-term is just giving money to the exchange If analysts could predict so accurately, they would have already gotten rich and wouldn't be sharing here No matter how perfect the framework is, execution is still key; if your mindset is blown, everything is useless It's good to find analysts who can admit mistakes; just don't boast

This brother's logic for making money is stable; I respect not chasing quick gains. The biggest fear for analysts is overconfidence. No matter how fancy the framework, if risk management can't keep up, it's all pointless. To put it simply, it's two words: reliable. It seems that many people now are eager for quick profits, always wanting to double their money within a day, but end up going back to the pre-liberation era. Long-term players definitely tend to last longer.

This mindset is indeed steady, but I still think catching big waves is easier to talk about than to do. Professional analyst? To be honest, most are just armchair quarterbacks after the fact. Giving up short-term trading is the right move, but how to adjust the mindset to avoid missing out is the key.

This is the stable way to play, the short-term trap is not bearable.

Well, I really respect this logic; giving up on short-term trading is truly an enlightening moment. Speaking of which, the thing that professional analysts lack the most is the courage to admit when they miss out, right? Swing trading is indeed much more enjoyable than daily operations, and the stability of returns is completely different. No matter how good the framework is, it can't compare to the execution discipline; this is the most important. There are too many self-proclaimed analysts in the market recently, and the exaggeration is really substantial.
