Many people ask me why I dare to hold heavy positions and take swing trades. To be honest, I don't rely on intuition; I rely on an understanding of the structure.



The scene from early last week left the deepest impression. No action for two hours, eyes glued to the screen, and people in the group started to get restless. Until a large-volume bullish candle appeared, followed by three small bearish candles retracing back, but the key point is—there was no break below the low of that large bullish candle. At that moment, it was very clear: this is the main force shaking out the weak hands.

Ten minutes later, volume surged, and the market took off directly. This isn't luck; there's logical support behind it.

The problem is, most people get scared and bail out after a series of bearish candles, but after experiencing enough market moves, you understand—patterns like one bullish candle swallowing three bearish ones are not rebounds but actual bullish counterattacks; a long bearish candle followed by a long bullish one to recover isn't market emotion fluctuation but the main force grabbing chips; two bullish candles sandwiching a bearish one may look like a pullback on the surface, but in reality, it's a shakeout before a breakout.

Truly strong bottom structures are those with long lower shadows combined with morning star patterns. The market falls into despair, but the candlestick chart is already speaking—bears are losing strength, and bulls are about to take over.

I never chase after rising prices when trading, nor do I bet on news. I wait for a certain state: the structure is in place, the sentiment is in place, and capital is signaling. When the candlestick starts speaking, hesitation will lead to defeat.

This is what I've always said: reading the candlestick charts speaks a hundred times more than reading the news. In the face of technical analysis, people's emotions are just garbage.

Oh no, really, understanding the structure is more satisfying than anything else. That's why I never follow the trend of cutting losses. One positive outweighs three negatives. You’re right, bro. Trading based on intuition? Forget it, that's just gambling.

This sounds quite right, but in reality, very few people can truly stick to it without wavering.

That's right, that's why most people lose money — they can't understand what the candlestick charts are saying.

That's why I insist on analyzing the structure rather than the news. Really, many people are scared out of their wits by emotions.

It sounds good, but the key is to stay alive until that moment, or else it's all for nothing.

Well said, the fundamental aspect is the key, the news aspect has long been outdated.
