As a 34-year-old investor from Jiangxi, currently living in Guangzhou, my trading journey has been full of ups and downs. When I entered the market in 2018, I brought 100,000 yuan in capital, but I suffered two major setbacks and almost gave up. However, I persevered, not relying on insider information or high-frequency trading, but through a seemingly unremarkable yet extraordinarily effective method: observing volume, interpreting market sentiment, and grasping the rhythm of trading.

Over the past seven years, this method has helped me multiply my initial capital by dozens of times. Now, I want to share a few valuable experiences in the hope of helping other investors avoid unnecessary losses:

1. When the market rises rapidly and then slowly declines, it usually indicates that the main funds are accumulating chips, so don't be in a hurry to exit. On the contrary, if there is a sharp drop after a rise, it is often a trap to lure bulls into the market.

2. If the market experiences a sharp decline followed by a slow recovery, and the volume is not large, it may indicate that the main capital is withdrawing. At this time, do not rush to buy the dip; instead, wait for the market to stabilize before considering entry.

3. At high levels, the lack of trading volume is more dangerous than a large volume of transactions. A high trading volume at elevated levels indicates that the market is still in a game of speculation, while light trading at high levels may signal an impending significant drop.

4. A surge in volume at the bottom is not necessarily a signal to buy the dip. A single day's surge in volume may be a trap; only after several days of volume followed by a contraction and consolidation can it potentially be a true breakout signal.

5. True experts focus on market sentiment rather than just K-line charts. Price is merely the result, and volume reflects market consensus. Understanding market sentiment is key to grasping the trading rhythm.

6. Mature investors can maintain a short position at the right time and are willing to heavily invest when opportunities arise. They do not chase highs, do not cling to battles, and do not bet their lives. The fundamental reason most people lose money is their inability to control their emotions.

The market is always full of opportunities; what is lacking is the ability to control oneself. Those who truly succeed in the market are not the exceptionally gifted individuals, but those who have learned to patiently wait and accurately grasp the rhythm of the market.

The investment market is ever-changing, but these fundamental principles always apply. I hope these insights can provide some inspiration and guidance for your investment journey.
