At one o'clock in the middle of the night, watching the market, the screen suddenly turned blood red—prices instantly broke through the stop loss line, and before I could react, they bounced back to their original position.

The chat room was filled with wails, and I quietly turned off the monitor. I've seen this kind of performance no less than twenty times over the past three years, and I've long been numb to it.

That needle inserted into the heart is actually asking you one thing: Can you still hold onto the position in your hand?

**① The Truth About Wash Trading: It's Not People Who Are Filtered, It's Willpower**

Big money doesn't want to clear risks, but to clear emotions. Those who get excited at a slight rise and panic at a slight drop are the easiest to be left behind. They don't need to study complex techniques; they just need to know who is selling chips cheaply.

**② Retail investors see "washing the盘", while experienced players see it as "testing"**

I remember being stopped out by consecutive spikes in the early years, feeling furious and then going short in a rush, only to miss another upward surge. That was when I realized: the difficult part has never been understanding the charts, but rather controlling that wild beast called emotion. While you focus on five-minute fluctuations, others are planning their moves for months ahead.

**③ Don't get caught up in "volatility" or "distribution", look at the three indicators**

Volume - Is the massive trading a turnover or a panic exit?
Strength and weakness - are the rebound highs higher each time?
Rhythm - After the surge and plunge, is it going to be a contraction in volume and consolidation or a continuation of increasing volume?

Three indicators must resonate simultaneously before making a judgment. Looking at just one can easily be deceived by illusions.

**④ Clear your emotions to endure until the end**

The main strategies used by the big players: sudden spikes to lure you into chasing highs, sudden drops to force you to cut losses, and spike tests to probe your bottom line. Those who withstand these three rounds of attacks are either stubborn gamblers or "robots" with completely shut-off emotions. Only the latter qualify for the next round of market entry.

**⑤ My Shockproof Toolbox**

1. Use interval stop loss instead of precise point positions - leave room for the market, and also leave a way out for yourself.
2. Build positions in batches - first test the waters, then roll profits, and finally wait for confirmation signals.
3. Daily review of emotions - recording when I panicked is more important than studying candlestick patterns.

The rules of the market have actually not changed: retail investors shout "the big players are washing the盘", while institutions say "it's a normal fluctuation"; you think it's a "run", but they are just gracefully changing hands.

Next time you encounter a long pin bar, don't curse right away. Take a deep breath, check the volume, strength, and rhythm, then ask yourself: "Am I scared?"

Lock emotions in a cage, put chips in a cold wallet - those who do not follow the heartbeat of the intraday chart will never be eliminated by the market.

Those who can survive and profit in this market have always been those who dare to reach out when others are in panic.

Are you ready?
