Once the market enters a strong mode, impulsive trading is often the beginning of losses. Especially during the opening hours, which are considered the golden period, many people habitually chase the rally and end up getting trapped.

Take tech stocks as an example. Pre-market trading before the opening can reveal early signs. If the structure has already been established, there's no need to rush to judge. Some stocks indeed surge after opening, but the key is not the immediate increase, but how the subsequent trend develops.

When the price pulls back, what should you be watching for? Is the main force still holding control? This is the real standard for deciding whether to continue chasing.

Even in the fastest markets, trading discipline must not be relaxed. The criteria for judging a strong day should not be casually changed just because the speed is fast. Following the rules will help you survive longer.

This guy is right, chasing gains at the open is just asking for trouble. The key is whether the main force has control, I've fallen into this trap before. Discipline really can't be loosened casually; in a strong market, you must stick to the rules. Those who FOMO at the open all end up badly; I've seen too many cases. Don't rush to act before the structure is established; it's a painful lesson.

Chasing gains at the open is really a painful lesson; you only realize the pain after being trapped. To put it simply, you still need to wait for the structure to be established. Why rush? Whether the main force continues to hold the position is the only standard for whether you can get on board, right? Discipline is easy to talk about but really hard to stick to when it comes down to action.

Chasing gains at the open is really something you need to quit. I have friends who do this every day, and now they've lost all their principal. Whether the main force is still in their hands is the real critical issue. Discipline is easy to talk about... but when there's a rapid surge, who can really hold back? Don't make reckless moves before the structure is established—that's no lie.

Chasing the rally at the open is a tactic I've seen too many times, and everyone gets cut clearly and plainly. The core is the control of the main force; don't just focus on the two-hour increase. Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to do. Those who rush to buy at the peak usually end up badly; waiting for a pullback to see the main force's attitude is the right approach. If the structure is unclear, don't rush; I've fallen into this trap many times.
