Sticking to dollar-cost averaging in a bear market has been nearly three months now, and my recent feelings are becoming clearer—simplifying all complex judgments into a system's "Yes" or "No" actually makes things much easier.



There have been many stories in the market recently, with various narratives emerging one after another, but I find that most of them have nothing to do with my own execution system. The more noise there is, the more I need to simplify my execution.

My current operation rhythm is as follows: I don't act before the dollar-cost averaging cycle arrives, and I remain silent if the trigger conditions are not met. Leverage is always at 0/3, idle. Every day, I review my daily performance and check whether the current market logic aligns with my system. In simple terms, either follow the plan to invest regularly, add positions according to rules, or honestly focus on learning—there is no fourth option.

What I need to be most cautious about is the operational desire brought by "boredom." Often, people trade not because they are confident, but because they are bored. Guessing bottoms, chasing narratives, overextending "spare oxygen"—I have explicitly forbidden myself from doing these.

While the market is busy creating stories, I am executing my algorithm. Staying calm is often the most effective approach—doing nothing unnecessary is true efficiency.

Really, the desire to operate out of boredom is the most deadly. I've also fallen into this trap. --- Leverage 0/3, idle is amazing, self-control is the ceiling. --- When there's a lot of noise, the more you need to be greedy and simplify. I agree with this logic. --- After three months of dollar-cost averaging, the feeling is so clear, it shows the system really works. --- "Boredom operations" hit too close to home; many people lose this way. --- Calmness equals efficiency. It sounds simple but is really hard to maintain. --- The self-discipline of having no fourth option, I've learned this. --- Market stories are executed by algorithms; this phrase should be engraved on a monument.

This is the real winning mindset, not the kind you hear about just from stories.

That's right, idle hands' desire to operate is really the biggest killer. If you're not careful, you'll deplete the "backup oxygen" unintentionally.

That's right, doing nothing is the real meat-cutting machine.

Wow, this is exactly what I've been wanting to say. Going around and messing around out of boredom, and in the end, just cutting losses back and forth. The concept of dollar-cost averaging over three months really enlightened me.
