The trading market is always a place where some are happy and others are sad; most people are just陪跑. Those who consistently make profits are a minority, let's call them Pro. Want to live longer? The most basic lesson is to learn to view the market with a Pro mindset.

Pro could be institutional investors, possibly holding an information advantage, in short, they are on a completely different level from ordinary retail investors. For example: they are like merchants who stockpile大量货物, buying low and selling high is their eternal business principle. In this process, price games are everywhere, and retail investors can easily fall into traps.

Wyckoff's methodology captures the key—using price and volume together to tell a story. Simply put, it’s about whether the price trend can be confirmed by volume. What if they conflict? Then you need to be extra vigilant.

Pro is best at playing on two major human weaknesses: greed and fear. When a bull market arrives, seeing the rapid rise, regretting not buying early, impulsively rushing in; when a bear market hits, scared stiff, cutting losses and running. The most ironic thing is that the result is often buying at high and selling at low—this is exactly what Pro wants.

Pro’s operation process can be divided into several stages. First is accumulation: to sell, you must first fill your pockets. So Pro will create declines, triggering panic selling, and seize the opportunity to build positions. Once the negative news is digested, combined with大量买入 by Pro, the price slowly climbs back up. But here, it’s important to control the timing; if it scares people too much, no one dares to chase after the rebound, making it difficult to sell.
