The Trader's Triple Cultivation:
First Level: Cold Eyes
Do not just focus on the rise and fall of the K-line; that is merely the surface. You need to learn to see through the surface to the essence. Cold eyes mean not being swayed by the emotions of the market; you should act like an outsider, calmly calculating where the corpses are piled high, for there lies gold.
Second Level: Steady Hands
You must learn from the crocodile. A crocodile can lie still in the water for days, whether it is alive or dead, you cannot tell. Many novice traders have jittery hands; they see price fluctuations and cannot resist clicking the mouse, fearing they will miss out on a fortune. The market opens every day, and there are plenty of opportunities, but once you've lost your capital, you're out. Steady hands mean being able to endure boredom; most of the trading work is simply waiting.
Third Level: Black Heart
This term may not sound pleasant, but it is very real. You must constantly remind yourself that the market is a huge casino; it is a zero-sum game where if someone makes money, someone else must lose money. The rules of the market are simple: flush out the majority and then push the price. A black heart does not mean to harm others but to maintain absolute rationality and ruthlessness in the face of collective emotions.
The process of transforming from a sheep into a wolf is painful. 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 black. At that time, the K-line will no longer be mere lines to you but the footprints of prey.
