Why do some people, fully aware of the incredible risks involved in contracts, still keep entering wave after wave? Ultimately, everyone harbors a dream of getting rich overnight.
Starting with only 10,000 yuan in 2017, my account has now grown to 36 million. It’s not due to insider information, not by calling signals and leading teams, but by sticking to a set of "seemingly clumsy but steady" methodology.
Over the years, I’ve stepped into liquidation pits, experienced significant drawdowns, and endured countless anxious nights. All these lessons have ultimately condensed into six ironclad trading rules. Understanding each one thoroughly can help you lose less—by ten thousand; mastering three of them can help you avoid ninety percent of market traps.
**Rule 1: Rapid rise and slow fall, hold steady** This kind of movement is usually not a top signal; rather, it’s often the main force accumulating at low levels. What is the real danger signal? A sharp surge followed by a quick plunge—that’s a sign the main force is harvesting.
**Rule 2: Rapid fall and slow rise, don’t rush to bottom fish** A small rebound after a flash crash is often a false sign before the main force offloads. Don’t be fooled by the feeling of “it’s not falling anymore”—the market is best at punishing overconfidence.
**Rule 3: High volume at high levels isn’t necessarily bad; in fact, no volume is the most dangerous** Trading volume indicates that bulls and bears are still battling; the market has vitality. Exhausted volume means the main force has already withdrawn, leaving only air.
**Rule 4: Don’t rush even when volume increases at the bottom; focus on sustainability** A single-day surge in volume doesn’t mean a start signal; it might just be a fleeting moment. Continuous volume is meaningful, especially when it suddenly surges after consolidation—that’s the real signal of main force building positions.
**Rule 5: Candlestick patterns are just surface indicators; trading volume reveals the underlying truth** The price of a coin is essentially a projection of market sentiment. Learning to read volume is the key to truly understanding the market logic.
**Rule 6: The highest realm is "nothing"** Without attachment, you can wait for the opportunity to hold no position; without greed, you dare to exit decisively when it’s time to take profits; without fear, you have the courage to build positions at critical points. Controlling your inner demons is much harder than predicting trends.
In the end, trading is not about being smart; it’s about discipline. Steady profits never come from a single gamble to turn things around.

1. From 10,000 to 36 million, these numbers sound like a story. Believe it or not, I am only half convinced.
2. The six iron laws are well explained, but in practice, emotions still pull you back, which is the hardest part.
3. No obsession, no greed, no fear... Easy to say, but truly testing human nature when doing it.
4. I have deep experience with the rapid rise and slow fall pattern; many times I got liquidated at this point.
5. Volume is the real truth. I agree—no matter how many candlestick patterns there are, they can't change the fundamentals.
6. Discipline > Intelligence. This hits hard. Why do we always gamble when we should be cutting losses?
7. Surviving from 2017 until now already means I’ve beaten most people. Forget about the 36 million.
8. The part about rapid drops and slow recoveries always tricks me into entering. It really takes repeated face-slaps to learn.
9. Steady profits sound boring, but surviving and exiting is truly better than those who get rich overnight and then disappear.
10. Honestly, this methodology doesn’t look fancy; it’s just old clichés. The real challenge is how to stick with it.

10,000 to 36 million, is it real? Feels even more mysterious than winning the lottery.
Did you get in back in 2017? This wave of dividends has definitely been enjoyed.
The sixth point hits the most, so on point.
Inner demons are a hundred times harder to deal with than the market.
The explanation about trading volume makes sense; need to think it over carefully.
The iron law is well said, but how many can really stick to it when it comes to execution?
Every time I read articles like this, I get excited, but then I slip up again.
I've really seen too many people get cut during a volume dump.
Those who can wait through the empty positions are true experts.
Discipline is simple in two words, but holding through the retracement is the real skill.

The nice way to say it is "discipline," but basically it means being able to resist temptation... These six points are indeed solid, but the problem is that most people just read them and forget about it, with very few actually implementing them. I agree with the part about trading volume; it's like the daily active user data in a game, which can reveal more than just K-line trends. However, it still feels like something is missing — the risk management and position sizing weren't mentioned, which is actually a lifesaver for beginners.

10,000 yuan turning into 36 million... This story sounds so good, but I still want to ask, how many people can really endure those "anxious nights"?
The six iron laws are quite insightful, but the key is that most people don't even wait until they understand the third one before they get wiped out.
"No obsession, no greed, no fear" sounds so easy, but when the account drops 20%, who can remain unaffected...
In fact, it's just one sentence: only by surviving can you make money.
I've heard this theory ten times, but very few people actually trade based on volume.
The last sentence is correct—it's discipline—but discipline seems to be even harder to maintain than making money.

10,000 to 36 million, indeed impressive, but I'm more concerned about how many times margin calls happened in between.
A rapid rise followed by a slow decline basically means just waiting, waiting for the main force to truly make a move.
Speaking of these six iron rules, they all sound correct, but when it really comes to the market, who wouldn't panic?
As for trading volume, indeed, shrinking volume is more dangerous than anything else. Air trading can collapse at any moment.
Saying "no obsession, no greed" is easy; how many can truly achieve it? I haven't managed to do it myself.
Finally, this last sentence is perfect: Discipline > Intelligence. That's the real truth.

10,000 to 36 million, that number makes my ears buzz... But honestly, if someone could really do that, why are they still here writing articles?
Hold tight during rapid rises and slow declines—that sounds right, but in practice, can your hands really stay steady? I think most people have already cut their losses and run.
Exhausted trading volume = air, this saying is fresh... So should I clear out these air positions?
Finally, the phrase "no obsession, no greed, no fear" is easy to say, but who can truly do it? Probably just another survivor bias of success.
The inner demon is really harder to deal with than K-line charts. Every time I see the right direction, I want to leverage more, and my brain feels like it's breaking.
I'm most cowardly about taking profits; I always think it can go higher, but I’ve been proven wrong countless times.
I've seen too many false breakouts with huge volume in a single day, so I no longer believe that stuff.
These iron rules sound impressive, but very few people actually survive them.
Sticking to discipline is indeed important, but sticking until bankruptcy is still sticking...
