There's a common trap in technical analysis: many people draw trend lines that are perfectly straight, looking clean, but such straight lines can often deceive your eyes. The real market is never so simple; small-scale twists and the time spent on fluctuations—these details are easily overlooked.



These overlooked parts are actually crucial; they influence your sense of rhythm and your predictions of the next move. So you need to change your approach, draw charts that more closely resemble the market's true trajectory, and reveal those smoothed-out details. Only then can you more accurately capture the market's rhythm and avoid being misled by simplified visual lines.

I have deep experience; I've been fooled by straight lines too many times. To put it simply, it's laziness—too lazy to look at those small fluctuations. Details determine success or failure; this is definitely not nonsense in trading. I was like that before, which resulted in completely losing track of the rhythm. You have to admit that the market is much more complicated than you imagine. The real thing is the twists and turns; straight lines are just illusions. Changing your mindset is easier said than done. This way, you probably won't get chopped up by the market. Small details are often the main source of profit. Indeed, too many people overlook the sense of rhythm in the market.

Too realistic, straight lines can be quite harmful. I used to lose money because of those "clean" trend lines, now I have to make the charts a mess to feel at ease. --- That's right, the real gold is hidden in the details; sloppy work is not allowed. --- That's why I always feel like something's missing in others' analysis; turns out I've been fooled by smoothing. --- How to put it, the market is inherently messy; drawing it as a straight line is just too naive. --- Alright, you make a good point. Next time, I need to pay closer attention to those small fluctuations. --- Indeed, those overlooked factors are often signals of a turning point; you can't just look at the big picture.

Straight lines are the most deceptive; I've fallen for this before. It took so many attempts to realize that the market isn't always this "neat." The real stuff is in the details; otherwise, it's just self-deception.

I really got scammed badly by ZhiXian. I didn't notice the details of the pullback, and I got caught directly.

yo this hits different... been saying this forever. straight lines are for people who haven't watched enough mempool chaos unfold. market moves like gas waves, all those micro-fluctuations? that's where the actual rhythm lives, fr. smoothing them out is basically just asking to get rekt by the details you ignored. respect the fractal, not the fantasy.

I've been saying this all along, drawing straight trend lines may look nice but it's self-deception. Bro, your comment hits the nail on the head—so many people are deceived by those straight lines. Details are everything; ignoring small-cycle fluctuations will eventually lead to big losses. That's why some people can buy the dip while others always miss out—the difference is right here. Exactly, the true face of the market is chaotic; you need to learn to see those overlooked details. I've been fooled too, and only later realized that the trend is always much more complex than a straight line. The key is to break the lazy habit—being too lazy to look carefully will only cause more losses.

I used to be someone who only drew straight lines, and it took being cut twice to understand... Now I look at charts and focus on those details that have been smoothed out; small fluctuations often hide big opportunities.
