Six months, the account grew from 10,000 to over 100,000. Honestly, this is not luck; it’s the result of repeatedly refining the trading framework.

Trading, to put it simply, is a craft. It’s not about inspiration but about proficiency and patience. After stepping through several big pitfalls, I’ve summarized these painful lessons:

When the market moves quickly and aggressively, it begins to slow down and retrace later. Don’t rush to call the top. In most cases, this is just washing out the FOMO traders. What is the truly dangerous top? When volume suddenly surges and crashes down in one go, leaving no time to react—that’s deadly.

After a sharp decline, the rebound is weak. At this point, no matter how itchy your hands are, don’t try to bottom fish. You’ll find that those who keep trying to buy the dip as prices fall more and more are usually stuck in the obsession of “it’s already fallen so much.”

A high position doesn’t mean the end. As long as there’s volume, the market still has hope. Conversely, if the price is already high but volume is shrinking, it’s basically the main players have already run away.

The same logic applies at the bottom. Don’t get too excited about a single-day surge in volume. A reliable bottom looks like this: sideways trading for a period, gradually and gently increasing volume, with the price slowly moving up.

There’s a phrase I strongly agree with: Price can deceive, but volume never does.

And the most difficult point of all—if you don’t understand, don’t trade. You don’t have to place an order every day; reckless trading is actually the real source of losses. Opportunities in the market are always there; those who can stay calm will eventually get their turn.

Reliable, the saying "trading volume doesn't lie" hit me hard. I've been fooled many times before by false price breakouts, it's tragic. This framework sounds simple, but how many people actually follow through? Most still can't resist the urge to gamble on "it's already fallen so much." Turning a few hundred thousand into over a million from scratch—no hype, no negativity. You should know how stable it really is. If you don't understand, don't move. It sounds simple, but during market madness, very few can hold back. I have deep experience with moderate increases in trading volume. Sudden huge volume days are often traps. That's why most people still lose money—hands are too greedy. Opportunities are plentiful in the market, but they just can't wait. Being able to sit still is the hardest lesson. Those who can do this will naturally make money.

Trading volume is the real thing; prices are all lies. I give in to this statement. If you don't understand, don't act. It's more important than anything else. Many people fall because of their itchy hands. Tenfold returns sound great, but those who actually make money are the ones who can endure.

Trading volume never lies. This saying hits home. I’ve been fooled by price illusions too many times before. If you don’t understand, don’t act. It’s easy to say but hard to do. Every time I try to bottom fish, I get trapped. Those who can stay patient really make money. I realize that my biggest losses happen when I get too eager. The relationship between volume and price is indeed the core of trading. Getting it early can help you avoid many pitfalls.

Volume is the real truth; prices are all虚的. I have deep experience in this. --- The bottom-fishing strategy is truly a典型 of韭菜; watching the跌停板 still wanting to拾漏, in the end, being smashed to nothing. --- Being able to sit still is how you make big money. This is绝了; many people die because they can't hold back. --- A surge in volume causing a dump is the real顶; no reaction time, directly血洗账户. Too ruthless. --- Horizontal consolidation with volume at the底 I’ve encountered once; it’s actually the most安心, unlike虚的暴量底. --- If you don’t understand, don’t touch it. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is really折磨人. --- 成交量 never lies; I must engrain this in my mind. --- After fast and fierce行情, it’s all about洗盘; most people die in this wave.

Exactly right, but the only concern is that people who understand these principles often can't do them. I used to be that kind of fool who wanted to buy the dip every time it dropped, and I always got trapped badly haha.

Damn, I never thought about the logic behind this trading volume before. No wonder I kept chasing in at high levels and getting crushed. If you don't understand, don't act. I need to get this tattooed. When volume shrinks and price rises, it means the big players are running away. Remember that.

The trading volume is truly outstanding; so many people die chasing highs and bottom-fishing due to their obsession. If you don't understand, don't act—this statement is too harsh. I only lost because I couldn't hold back. A 10x profit sounds great, but the framework really takes time to develop; there's no shortcut. If the volume doesn't cooperate, any top or bottom signals are false signals. How much tuition did I pay to realize this? Being able to stay calm is more valuable than anything, but unfortunately, most people just can't do it.

The trading volume really hit the mark; I was previously completely fooled by the price. If you don't understand, don't make a move. It's easy to say but really frustrating to do. Just recently, I've been refining the framework again and feel like I've found some insights.
