When it comes to contracts, the risk is like a sword hanging overhead. Despite knowing this, some still put their principal in and rush in, essentially hoping to turn the tide with a market reversal.

In 2018, I dove into this world with 150,000 yuan. I didn’t listen to rumors or follow hype calls; I used the simplest method—watching candlesticks, studying volume and price, and stubbornly grew my account to 28 million. Over these eight years, I’ve experienced liquidations, drawdowns, sleepless nights watching the market—I've endured all the hardships.

Later, I summarized these years of experience into 6 rules, now sharing them with everyone:

**1. When prices rise quickly and fall slowly, stay calm** — Don’t rush to escape; this is often the main force accumulating positions. The key is to guard against the tactic of suddenly dumping after a volume-driven rally.

**2. When prices fall quickly and rise slowly, don’t be greedy** — Seeing a rebound and trying to buy the bottom? That’s probably a trap set by the main force to lure in more traders. Weak rebounds are the most dangerous.

**3. High volume at high levels isn’t necessarily bad; the real concern is no volume** — What does no volume mean? It indicates the main force might be quietly retreating.

**4. Don’t be impulsive when there’s volume at the bottom** — The true signal for building positions is continuous accumulation. A sudden surge in volume should raise caution.

**5. Candlesticks are just surface indicators; trading volume reveals the truth** — To understand who has the upper hand—bulls or bears—first observe what the volume is doing.

**6. In the end, it’s all about mindset** — Without obsession, greed, or fear controlling you, you can stay calm and be the last to laugh.

From a reckless novice to a steady trader, these eight years have taught me a simple truth: those who make money in the market are never the smartest, but those who can stay calm and clear-headed. There’s always a market; what’s truly scarce is the ability to keep a steady mind and a clear strategy.
