In 2017, I only had 2,000 yuan when I entered the circle, and now my account has grown to over 4 million. Over these 8 years, I have experienced liquidations, large drawdowns, staying up all night watching the market, mental breakdowns, stepping into countless pits, and paying countless tuition fees.

Gradually, I have summarized six ironclad trading rules. Understanding each one thoroughly can help you lose at least ten thousand yuan less; mastering three of them can help you avoid over 90% of market traps.

**Rule 1: Don't rush to close positions during rapid rises and slow declines**

This kind of movement is often not a top signal, but rather the market maker quietly accumulating positions. Be especially cautious of situations where there is a sudden sell-off after a volume surge—those are the real signals of harvesting.

**Rule 2: Never bottom-fish during sharp declines and slow recoveries**

Weak rebounds after a sharp drop are usually just a prelude to distribution. Don't be fooled by the illusion of "it won't fall further"; the market is best at harvesting those who hold onto hope.

**Rule 3: High volume at high levels isn't necessarily dangerous; lack of volume is the real trouble**

Trading volume indicates that both bulls and bears are still battling, and the market still has vitality. Conversely, high levels with no volume mean the main players have quietly withdrawn, leaving only empty air.

**Rule 4: Be calm even when volume appears at the bottom; focus on sustainability**

A single day's huge volume doesn't mean a reversal has started, but if several consecutive days show volume, especially after a period of consolidation, that is a true sign of building a position.

**Rule 5: Candlestick patterns are just appearances; trading volume is the real indicator**

Price reflects market sentiment, but only by truly understanding the logic behind volume can you see through the market.

**Rule 6: The highest realm is "nothing"**

Without attachments, you can hold positions in the absence of opportunities and wait; without greed, you have the courage to take profits timely during lucrative moments; without fear, you dare to enter decisively at critical moments. In short, controlling emotions is much more difficult than learning to read trends.

Over 2920 days, from following the crowd to now calmly handling market fluctuations, my biggest realization is: the people who make money are never the smartest, but those who understand patience and waiting best.

You're not lacking opportunities; you're lacking a clear direction. In this market, going solo is hard to go far. If you lack quality information channels, it's better to communicate more and learn more, so you can avoid many detours.
