In 2017, I entered the market with 2000 yuan, and now my account has grown to 36 million. Over these 8 years, I have experienced everything—the despair of a margin call, the anxiety of sharp retracements, the exhaustion of watching the charts overnight. I’ve stepped on too many pits and paid quite a few school fees. In the end, I’ve summarized six trading rules, each earned with real money.

**Don’t rush to act during rapid rises and slow declines.** It may look like a fast increase but a slow correction, which usually isn’t a sign of a top; instead, it indicates that the big players are accumulating at low levels. The real danger is when there’s a volume spike followed by a sudden dump—that’s a clear sign of harvesting.

**Rapid drops and slow rises are the easiest to get caught in.** After a flash crash, a small rebound is almost always a false signal before the main force offloads. Don’t be fooled by the feeling of “it’s not falling anymore”—the market loves to punish those who are lucky.

**High-volume surges are not as scary as they seem; low volume is truly dangerous.** Volume means bulls and bears are still fighting—that’s normal; no volume indicates the main players have already left, leaving only an empty shell.

**Don’t rush into the bottom on high volume either.** A single day of large trading volume doesn’t mean the trend is truly reversing; you need to see if it can continue with sustained volume—especially after consolidation and base-building, which signals the main force is truly starting to accumulate.

**Candlestick patterns are just surface phenomena; trading volume reveals the underlying truth.** Price is merely a reflection of market sentiment. Truly understanding changes in volume is the key to understanding the market.

**The highest level of cultivation is “nothing.”** Without attachments, you can patiently wait for an empty position; without greed, you have the courage to exit decisively when it’s time to take profits; without fear, you can bravely jump in when opportunities arise. Compared to seeing through trends, controlling your emotions is much more difficult.

After 2920 days of practical experience, from a rookie following the trend to an independent trader, I’ve realized one thing: the people who truly make money are never the smartest, but those who can stay calm the longest. Opportunities are not lacking; what’s missing is a sense of direction.

Can you turn 2000 bucks into 36 million? As soon as I saw this number, I knew the rest would definitely be a lesson on how to cut leeks... But I have to admit, the idea of a rapid decline followed by a slow rise is not wrong; I've been cut too many times to disagree. Wait, judging the bottom by trading volume? Bro, how does this theory hold up in a bear market in 2024? Honestly. No obsession, no greed, sounds like Buddhist-style trading, but in actual operation, who can really do it... I just can't. Those who truly make money are the ones who stay calm, so what about me watching the market every day? Am I an anxiety patient? After 8 years of experience, I finally figured it out. I'm just a few months into being a beginner, what should I do—give up directly? This set of rules has good details, but the flaw is the lack of real cases. When will you demonstrate it for us?

Is it true that 20 million to 36 million… If it's real, I shouldn't be here right now --- Sounds right, but why do I feel that most people simply can't follow the no-character rule --- "Those who can stay calm the best," easy to say, but who can really do it --- I think he has a point about the capacity, but executing it is extremely difficult --- Another lesson on how to make money, why not talk about how those 8 years of losses were endured --- No obsession, no greed, no fear—are you teaching trading or teaching meditation? --- The pattern of sharp drops and rebounds has been seen countless times, and people still fall for it every time --- 2920 days… this guy really dedicated his entire life to it

Really, high volume is nothing to be afraid of; lack of volume is the real scare. I'm most afraid of being fooled into bottom fishing during rapid rises and slow declines—I've seen this trick too many times. Still wanting to rush in when the price drops to the bottom? Eight out of ten times you'll get caught, and the tuition has already been paid. Waiting for an empty position is the hardest; truly, it's a hundred times more difficult than predicting price movements. Turning 2000 yuan into 36 million sounds great, but anyone who has stayed up all night watching the market knows what that feels like. I don't touch coins with no volume; no matter how tempting, I won't move. This guy is right—making money isn't about being smart, it's about mindset. I just died from being unwilling to accept defeat.

Turning 2000 yuan into 36 million is easy to say, but how many can really get through those margin call nights? Trading volume is the real truth. Unfortunately, most people are still dreaming about K-line charts. Having no obsession and no greed sounds easy, but when it comes to critical moments, it's still trembling hands. Just listen to this theory; 99% of those who copy it will still lose money. Emotional control is ten thousand times harder than technical skills, this statement hits the mark.

20 million to 36 million? Bro, that's not luck, it's pure psychological warfare. I've been burned by volume dumps before, and I later realized it's just the main players' harvesting list. You're right, candlestick charts can be deceiving, and volume can be even more misleading. It's actually about controlling your own mouth. Wait... that last sentence was too harsh. Indeed, staying calm to make money is the way, and those who are greedy have all ended up in the hospital. I still can't let go of attachments; I always want to take one more bite of the meat. But if these six rules can really be followed, 36 million isn't a dream... it's just too difficult, buddy.
