Ten years of time is enough to turn a rookie into a market scholar.

I've seen the frenzy of ten thousand people in a bull market, and I've also witnessed the chaos after a bear market.

Going from 10,000 U to 140,000 U? Sounds like a fairy tale, but for me, it's the result of countless hours of watching charts, reflecting, and paying tuition. There's nothing mysterious about it—it's craftsmanship.

In the beginning, I also believed in indicator cults, searching everywhere for big V influencers, studying various theories, only to see my accounts shrink one after another. Later, I realized a truth—trading isn't about fortune-telling; it's about understanding human nature and where the money is flowing.

Every candlestick is manipulated by a person; human actions always leave traces.

For example, rapid surges followed by slow declines are often not the top but a shakeout. The main force needs chips and won't violently dump the market; instead, they cut slowly, gradually eroding retail traders' confidence. True escapes often happen suddenly—high volume at the top followed by a straight plunge, leaving no time for reaction.

Be cautious after a sharp decline. That soft rebound, avoid reaching out to catch it. You might think you've bottomed out, but you're actually catching falling blades. Market bottoms are formed gradually, not by V-shaped rebounds. No volume, no sustained rebound—it's all bait.

It took me three years to understand volume. When there's trading volume at high levels, it indicates some players are still fighting for positions, and the market may have some rebound space; but if the high volume suddenly fades, that's a sign the main force has no more patience. A single large volume day at the bottom? Don't get excited—most likely a false breakout. Continuous accumulation with volume stacking and oscillation upward—that's real buying.

The most challenging thing is actually the phrase "hold steady." Everyone thinks they're a trading expert in a bull market, and in a bear market, they always want to gamble on a rebound. But how many can truly hold a position or dare to stay out? Very few.

I later learned to wait. When the market is unclear, stepping back can avoid many pitfalls. After ten years, I found that what the market never changes is human nature—greed, fear, following the crowd, and luck mentality. Only the cycles and surface change.

If you always feel you can't see clearly, maybe it's not that you're slow, but that you're looking too much and acting too hastily. Calm down, watch volume and price, feel the rhythm, and the market will gradually unfold its cards for you.

Don't believe too much in overnight riches, nor look down on craftsmanship built step by step. I used to stumble blindly in the darkness; now I hold a light in my hand. The light is always on—are you coming or not?
