Timing Is Everything in Trading

Everyone's heard it: buy low, sell high. Sounds simple, right? But here's what most traders miss—it's not just about the price level, it's about *when* you make the move.

Technically speaking, buying at the bottom and selling at the peak requires more than luck. You need to nail the timing. That's where it gets tricky.

Buying low works only if you recognize the bottom. Selling high means catching the top before momentum shifts. Both require reading the market at the exact right moment. Miss the timing by days or even hours? Your entire strategy falls apart.

So the real golden rule isn't just "buy low, sell high"—it's "buy low AND sell high at the RIGHT TIME." Master the timing, and you've got the game figured out.

That's true, but the question is who can really hit that point accurately? I'm always a armchair strategist afterward.

That's true, but the reality is that 99% of people simply can't hold that point. I've also learned this lesson the hard way.

To be honest, I've heard this theory too many times... The key is that most people can't really catch the bottom and the top, including myself.

Timing is easy to talk about but really difficult to do... I just ask, who can precisely hit the bottom and the top? Unless you're extremely lucky, you'll get liquidated.
