Many people draw lines without understanding the basics. If you can't distinguish between valid and invalid lines, how can you talk about understanding the lines themselves?

In trading, line drawing techniques are essentially to help you quickly identify support and resistance levels of different degrees. Through trendline resistance or breakouts, you can more clearly grasp the price turning points and observe the specific price behavior at those levels.

Taking Figure 3 as an example, this is a typical invalid line—purely wishful thinking. The key is to understand that the purpose of drawing lines is not to decorate the candlestick chart, but to guide you in making smarter trading decisions based on real price action.

Honestly, most people are just drawing random lines and don't even know what they're doing. Real line experts can tell at a glance whether your line can make a profit. Compared to mystical lines like in Chart 3, I still trust the price itself to speak.

Honestly, most people treat drawing lines as decorations and fail to see the truly useful support and resistance levels. They start drawing randomly without even understanding the chart properly—aren't they just asking for trouble? Drawing lines is so simple, yet some people just can't seem to get it, and I feel anxious for them. Invalid lines are everywhere, and they think they've found the golden key—it's hilarious. Price movement is the real deal; focusing only on how pretty the lines look is pointless.

Amazing, most people are indeed fooling themselves by drawing lines without even properly calculating the risk factor before placing an order.

The truth is, most people just draw lines for the sake of looking good. Drawing lines is just two words: practical, not artistic creation. I've seen many of those wishful lines, and the most disastrous ones are the ones that blow up the account. If you don't find the right support and resistance levels, how can you make money later? That's nonsense. I see charts like in 图3 every day; too many people do this, and then they get liquidated. The key is to understand why you're drawing the lines, not just for appearance. Lines drawn on paper will eventually lead to big losses. I think your perspective is correct; drawing lines must be grounded in trading, otherwise it's useless.

After some thought, most people's lines are just self-deception. They can't distinguish between what is effective and what is not, so how can they expect to copy everything exactly? That's why so many people end up losing money on the lines they drew themselves. History repeats itself over and over, and some people insist on replacing logic with imagination. The real line should be validated by the price, not forcibly interpreted by you.

Really, too many people just draw randomly without knowing what they're doing. Drawing lines is simply two words—practical. Not for appearance. As for Chart 3, I looked at it, and it's just a fantasy line drawing, completely useless. The key is to ask yourself whether this line can help me make money. Most people draw lines for self-comfort, waiting to be proven wrong.
