Last week I had afternoon tea with a woman from Hangzhou. She’s 45, has been trading crypto for 10 years, and her assets have already compounded past 80 million. She has five apartments in the inner ring, three vehicles for getting around, and a harmonious family—financial freedom. If you look at her Moments, it’s so clean it feels like a blank sheet of paper. There’s not a single post about investing, and not a word of bragging. It’s all everyday life trivia and scenic photos.
She dresses plainly, drives an older model car, blends into the crowd—you absolutely wouldn’t recognize her.

Today, I’ll lay out her six iron rules for you. They’re more solid than blindly fooling around and tinkering.

First: A sharp rise followed by slow declines equals the main force quietly accumulating. After a sudden surge, a pullback that moves like an elderly lady taking a leisurely walk—don’t panic. That’s big money building positions under the radar. Rhythm matters more than volatility.

Second: A steep drop with a weak rebound equals the main force distributing. After a flash crash, if it can’t be lifted back up, don’t fantasize about catching the bottom. Money is fleeing—anyone who tries to “catch a falling knife” will get trapped.

Third: Heavy volume at high levels doesn’t necessarily mean the top is in. In some cases, heavy volume in the top zone is the last sprint; instead, a topping action with contracting volume is like a balloon slowly deflating—only then does the market truly end.

Fourth: Heavy volume at the bottom must be tested for authenticity. One sudden spike is often a bull trap; only continuous, moderate increases in volume show that consensus is forming in the market. A real bottom is ground out, not guessed.

Fifth: Technicals are the surface; the human heart is the core. All indicators ultimately point to emotion, and volume is the most direct reflection of the market’s heartbeat.

Sixth: There is no secret manual—the highest realm. No greed, no fear, no attachment. If you can endure holding empty positions, you’re the one who deserves to wait for a major行情.

A single sentence wakes the dreamer. The ultimate wisdom of investing is not tricks or speculation, but self-discipline and staying true to what goes against instinct. The simpler the rules, the more they test your temperament. Those who can stick with it to the end have, in silence, already weeded out the crowd and become long-term winners.
