After trading for a long time, you will realize a fact: the real threshold is not Technical Analysis.

How to draw S&R, what are the K-line patterns, where are the bullish/bearish OBs? This knowledge is everywhere, anyone can learn it.

What truly differentiates people from one another is the reshaping of three dimensions.

Layer One: Cold Eyes

Don't just focus on the rise and fall of K-line; that's just the surface. You need to learn to see the essence beyond the surface.

Most people looking at the market see red and green bars. They get excited when they see the price go up, and they get scared when they see the price go down.

You need to change your eyes.

You need to keep an eye on where retail investors are placing their stop losses.

Because in the eyes of MM (Market Maker), that's a gas station.

MM has large and special funds. If they want to initiate a market trend, a large amount of liquidity is needed. Where does this liquidity come from? It comes from retail investors' stop-losses.

You should watch closely as the price approaches that area.

Cold eyes mean not being affected by the emotions of the market; you are like an outsider, calmly calculating where there are corpses everywhere, and where there is gold.

Second layer: steady hands

You need to learn crocodile.

Crocodiles can lie still in the water for several days, and you can't tell whether they are dead or alive.

Many novice traders are very anxious; they can't help but click the mouse when they see price fluctuations, fearing they might miss out on a fortune.

Stable traders do not do this.

Don't shoot the eagle without seeing the rabbit. No matter how much the market fluctuates, as long as the price hasn't entered your preset zone, you absolutely do not pull the trigger.

I know this is difficult.

But at this time, you still have to hold your own hand.

The market opens every day, and there are plenty of opportunities, but if your capital is exhausted, you are out.

Steady hands mean being able to endure boredom; most of the time in trading is simply about waiting.

Third layer: black-hearted

This word doesn't sound pleasant, but it's very real.

You must constantly remind yourself that the market is a huge casino, it's a zero-sum game; if someone is making money, there is definitely someone losing money.

The rules of the market are simple: eliminate the majority of people and then drive the price.

Being dark-hearted doesn't mean you harm others, but rather that you maintain absolute rationality and coldness in the face of collective emotions.

It is a painful process to transform from a sheep into a wolf.

You will experience countless moments of self-doubt, and you will feel out of place.

But this is the only way to survive in this market.

Train your eyes to be cold, your hands to be steady, and your heart to be dark.

At that time, the K-line will no longer be just lines to you, but the footprints of the prey.
