I heard a story at a dinner party: someone turned 100,000 into 50 million in four years. I immediately laughed at him for bragging, but then he opened his account screenshot, and the string of numbers hit me—this guy had no inside information, just relied on three trading tricks.

**First Trick: Rapid Rise, Slow Fall, Main Force Accumulating Chips Behind the Scenes**

A strong bullish candle charges fiercely, but the pullback is like sinking into a swamp, each step trapping you deeper. This isn’t weakness; someone is controlling the rhythm and secretly accumulating positions. Retail investors panic and hand over their chips, which the main force then takes away.

The key is: don’t move unless the trend line is broken. The real signal to reduce positions is when your heartbeat exceeds 90—only then does it mean fear has reached its limit.

**Second Trick: Sharp Drop, Weak Rebound, That’s Not a Golden Pit**

After a cliff-like decline, the rebound doesn’t even reach halfway up the mountain, and trading volume keeps shrinking. Don’t comfort yourself with “cheap”—at the bottom with declining volume, there’s usually a hidden cellar.

The simple standard: breaking the previous low + no volume = it’s time to step aside. Those catching falling knives are missing fingers—this is no polite talk.

**Third Trick: Trading Volume Is the True Spirit Detector**

High volume at a high level may indicate the market maker is switching hands, the show isn’t over; high volume at a high level means buying has dried up, and the decline is just a matter of time. After a volume spike at the bottom, another wave is worth watching. A quick, effective move can succeed, but if it happens three times, it’s exhausted—bottom fishing should target the third attempt, as the first two will get you cut.

The only iron law: breakouts without volume support are false.

**Last Layer: Your Heartbeat Is Your Profit and Loss Statement**

Greed, fear, panic—these are the sharpest sickles in the market. Candlestick ups and downs, news flying everywhere, all just noise on the stage. The real outcome depends on whether the person behind the screen can stay calm.

Embed strategies into conditioned reflexes, turn off emotions. The market is always there, but only those with a steady heartbeat below 60 can survive to the next cycle.

Most people struggle daily in red and green, losing not to the market but to their own ten-minute dry throat and sweaty palms. The path is right there; whether it can be illuminated depends on whether you have the courage to open your eyes.

ngl this whole "heartbeat = pnl" thing is just emotional larping. real traders don't need to feel their way through—they just exploit the governance gaps nobody else sees coming.

Heartbeat above 90 should run, this saying sounds harsh but it really hits the point --- Is there still a hidden cellar below the bottom of the shrinking volume? Haha, this time I believe it, lessons learned from blood last time --- The hands receiving flying knives are all missing fingers... I now just need three --- Trading volume is truly a mirror that reveals all. I used to look at the K-line before, now I see clearly --- That last sentence was brilliant, losing to myself with a dry throat for ten minutes... it’s always like this --- 4 years, 50 times increase? Not bragging, but this guy must have stepped on countless pits to master this stuff --- Heartbeat steady below 60... how did I do it? Every time it spikes to 150 --- The first two times I bought the dip and got cut, only on the third time did I make my move, this rhythm is perfectly timed

To be honest, this set of theories sounds pretty impressive, but that guy who claims "50 times in four years" is probably suffering from survivor bias. How many people actually follow this and survive? Is it okay to keep your heartbeat below 60? I feel like most people are already trembling and unable to press the sell button when they see -20%. This isn't a mindset issue; it's purely a psychological limit. Trading volume indeed can't be fooled, but the problem is that by the time you understand it, that wave of market movement has already disappeared. How does it feel to be a latecomer?

That's right, only when your heartbeat is steady can you truly master the art of making money. Whether it's bragging or real, I believe what the screenshots show. The phrase "volume is a demon-slaying mirror" is brilliant; I've seen too many false breakouts. Below the shrinking volume bottom, there's still a hidden cellar; this metaphor is excellent, I've taken many cuts from it. The key is that heartbeat above 90; in simple terms, don't be greedy or panicked. Most people actually lose in those ten minutes, I have deep experience with this. As long as the trend line isn't broken, don't move; it's so simple, yet some chase highs every day. A single surge can be effective, but if you come back again, you'll weaken; after three times, you're exhausted. This rhythm is really ruthless. Flying knife receivers are missing fingers, haha, I just said it. Only when the heartbeat is below 60 can you survive to the next cycle; this is an ironclad rule.

A heartbeat below 60 is necessary to survive until the next cycle. I'm glad I can make it to next week. --- Sounds good, but isn't it just gambler psychology with a different name? --- Volume is the key, I agree with that. --- Ten minutes of dry throat and sweaty palms, I can go all day, brother. --- Four years, 5,000 times, I choose to believe he's just bragging. --- The hand receiving flying knives is missing fingers, but I myself am missing all over. --- Turn off your emotions. It's easy to say, but why is it so hard to do? --- The bottom with reduced volume still has a cellar underneath. That metaphor is excellent. --- 99% of people lose because of sweaty palms, but I lost even more thoroughly. --- If the trend line isn't broken, don't move. I need to think about this move.

Heartbeat above 90 should be a signal to reduce positions. This guy isn't talking about trading, he's talking about psychological building. --- That set of volume analysis is really true; I've seen too many reversals with decreasing volume at high levels, and I feel this is also survivor bias. --- 50 times in four years? Honestly, that's a bit questionable, but that "heartbeat is the income statement" really hit the point. --- The phrase "missing a finger when catching a flying knife" is brilliant; so many people get caught on the first or second bottom. --- Don't move until the trendline breaks. Easier said than done, because when it really happens, your mind is all muddled. --- The last paragraph is a bit of chicken soup, but indeed most people lose in that ten-minute psychological battle. --- Not sure if it's a trading secret or psychological therapy, but it sounds comforting anyway.
