Have you ever noticed that many people can tell at a glance whether a product design looks good or not, but can't pinpoint exactly what's wrong? This is the subconscious at work — our brains are receiving signals every moment, we just aren't aware of it.

Want to train this "intuition" into a reusable skill? Why not try this method: stare carefully, allowing details to fully enter your view. Then ask yourself a core question: what exactly makes me uncomfortable? Don't rush to find the answer; first, consciously pursue the question. This process is about transforming signals from the subconscious into recognizable insights. This thinking framework is useful for product development, design, and even trading decisions.

Really, I should have learned this logic before liquidation... I could see at a glance that this chart was going to collapse, but I couldn't pinpoint the risk control point, and ended up going all in, resulting in a perfect liquidation.

This methodology for trading is simply amazing; those intuitive losses are often due to missing the details.

Let me tell you, I’ve used this method in trading, and it really works. Staring at the candlestick chart for ten minutes, and suddenly you can see what’s off. Intuition is something you can't see or touch, but once you translate it into language, it becomes a reusable weapon. But on the other hand, many people will never learn this because they simply don’t want to bother asking. This framework applied to decision-making in the crypto world is truly a lifesaver, saving you from many pitfalls. Sometimes you just have a feeling that a project is off, and upon closer inspection, you find issues with the code, the team, or contradictions in the white paper. I think the key isn’t just in observation, but in daring to ask yourself, "Why do I feel uncomfortable?" Most people simply don’t dare. Designing this is all about stacking details. Master this trick, and you can see through anything.

I've been using this stuff in crypto trading for a while. I can tell at a glance if a project's vibe is off, but I couldn't quite explain why. Now I understand that I need to dig into the details.

This framework is also useful for trading. I often find myself in this situation—looking at a candlestick chart and feeling something's off, but I really can't pinpoint what's wrong. --- That's true. It seems that combining intuition with rationality is the way to make good decisions; otherwise, it's just pure gambling. --- Damn, isn't this just teaching people how to systematize their intuition? Traders really need this. --- I've tried this trick—asking myself what's making me uncomfortable—and it really helps uncover hidden risk points. --- That's right, but most people are too lazy to think deeply. They just trade based on feelings and end up losing everything. --- This thinking framework in trading is like a cheat code; often, intuition can save your life. --- The key is to have the patience to ask yourself questions. I usually don't even bother with this step. --- Product design and trading decisions follow the same logic; all the answers are hidden in the details.

Comments from short-sellers: 1. Basically, it's about learning to be perceptive, which is much more reliable than guesswork. 2. This methodology really helps with trading decisions; I often do it this way. 3. When did my subconscious become so smart? Anyway, I often feel something's off right from the start. 4. Turning intuition into logic sounds simple, but actually doing it is really hard. 5. A must-read for product managers, to avoid being criticized by users for "just feeling uncomfortable." 6. My daily short-selling decisions are often driven by this inexplicable sense of unease. 7. Staring, questioning, seeking answers— isn't that just review and reflection? 8. Details determine everything; this is no longer empty talk. 9. Traders need this the most; many get caught by relying solely on feelings. 10. The stronger your signal recognition ability, the more money you make—that's true. 11. The problem is most people simply can't stick with it; it's too annoying. 12. Systematizing feelings, that's a good idea. 13. I often short a coin without being able to explain why. 14. This thinking framework really makes sense for risk prevention. 15. The core is to have patience to keep questioning yourself.
