Many people spend a lot of time in the market, looking at a bunch of technical indicators, but they still can't grasp the core. Actually, the secret to profitability isn't that complicated; ultimately, it's four points—the battle between volume and price.

If a rebound can't surpass the previous high, it's time to clear the position; this is a signal to exit. If a pullback doesn't break the previous low, it indicates support is still holding, which is an entry point. For a rally, volume must be considered; a rise without volume is unreliable. As long as the correction is in place, you should decisively go long. Conversely, a sudden increase in volume accompanied by a decline often signals a high-level escape, favoring the bears.

These four points sound simple, but executing them requires discipline. Many people falter due to their mindset—either they see the right signals but don't dare to act, or they misread and keep holding on. The volume-price relationship is always the most honest; it won't deceive your eyes, only your psychology. Truly profitable traders are those who integrate this logic into their instincts, so when the time comes, they act decisively.

That's correct, but after all these years, I haven't seen many who can truly follow this approach. How many people are stuck at this mental barrier? The phrase "price and volume deceive psychology" hits hard. I myself am that kind of waste who keeps hesitating even when I see the right signals. Simply put: discipline > technical indicators, but who can really achieve that? If the previous high isn't broken, just run. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult.

That's right, there are just too many people with poor execution. They understand in theory but just can't place the orders. You hit the nail on the head—still holding onto positions when the market moves against them. There are too many people like that around me. The concepts of volume and price truly don't lie; it all depends on who can withstand the psychological pressure. Actually, most people's losses come from their mindset. It's not that they don't understand; it's greed. Discipline. These two words sound simple, but implementing them is extremely difficult.

Sounds good, but I think the key is still execution. Too many people are afraid to take action after seeing the right direction. --- Talking about volume and price is easy, but how many can really withstand the pullback? --- What I fear the most is that even after seeing the right direction, I get shaken out. Mindset is truly the biggest enemy. --- To put it simply, greed is still the culprit. Wanting to eat a little more often results in missing out. --- Judging "previous high and previous low" seems simple, but in actual operation, it can really become blurry. --- I've seen the signal of increased trading volume accompanied by a decline several times, but at the time, I just couldn't react in time. --- Turning trading logic into instinct sounds a thousand times harder than actually doing it. --- Sometimes I get stuck on discipline; even after seeing the right direction, I still tend to be soft-hearted.

That's right, the hardest part is the mindset. I've seen it happen countless times, but I still don't click the button. Price and volume ultimately come down to a game of strategy. Sometimes you think there's support, but a single big bearish candle can break through directly, leaving you stunned. Execution is the real threshold for making money, not just technical analysis. I keep telling myself to be decisive every time, but I still hesitate, and by the time I react, the market has already flown away. Price movements without volume really break at the slightest touch, I have deep experience with this. Volume and price don't lie; human psychology is the biggest lie. It's very true, but the number of people who can truly do it is pitifully small.
