The good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy. To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself. Thus the good fighter is able to secure himself against defeat, but cannot make certain of defeating the enemy.To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fightingMove not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are. Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content.-Sun Tzu
Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are.
QuoteMove not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are.For me, this sums up almost everything about initiating a position.

小艇怕風浪 , 大船難轉彎( Small Boats are afraid of wind and waves turbulence, Big Ships have difficulty to to turn.)When you are scout mode, turning is easy ,when you are in rescue , turning leaves too much resources behind.Turning is an option for sudden change of impulse, and only when in scout mode or early level rescue.when you are in rescue or attack mode , then you are committed, for good or bad, in sickness or health, till d do you part.therefore turning is no-longer an option.Note that when you decide to turn. you have to move to the next spiral within the spiral, therefore you move to stage 2 of the preceeding stage. This is very cap intensive protocol.When in congested band , stay with the scout ,either in bull or bear mode never both. Never be a pig.When in trend mode, stay with trend, if scout mode turn on wind.If committed, first rescue then after successful rescue, try to turn on wind.(remember that by now it should mid trend levels [probably wave 2 or 3 ]therefore skew down the risk, to accommodate attack.) . Similarly Again never be a pig.
to me attack is more important than rescue ... but when learning , its natural to learn to rescue and then later to attack,if u cant attack well , profit comes really hard for u , which will make it harder for u to let go a losing situation , and there will come day wer losing situation is really bad , when u r completely against the flow , but since profit comes really hard to u , u will be reluctant to let all those profits go and will attempt to rescue such situation , u will eventually end up gambling a lot of money , the outcome of this situation is bad whether u lose or win in gambling,u win , n gambling creeps into ur habit , u lose , recovery will take enermous time n power ...I think its a phase we all have to go thru once or twice , but my point is that u've to make effort to attack nicely and that takes a lot of courage ...
