A single trend market, whether it's a strong rally or a smooth decline, most people are most prone to making a deadly mistake — subjectively believing "the trend has ended" or "it's time to reverse." This seemingly rational prediction is essentially the beginning of an inner obsession — you're not following the market, but forcing the market to move according to your ideas, deviating from the core of technical analysis and losing the most critical objective stance in trading.



The first principle of market analysis is always to focus on technical signals and discard subjective guesses. Do not pre-judge the market's end point in advance, do not forcibly speculate on the direction, only act according to the structures, signals, and trend rhythm that have already appeared. The root cause of all losses is often not technical inadequacy but subjective thinking overriding technical rules: entering early without a signal, exiting prematurely without breaking key levels, always replacing "what I think" or "what should happen" with "what the market shows."

Trade entries are never timed based on feelings but are based on principles, waiting for conditions, and executing according to signals. The later a trend goes, the more it tests self-discipline: avoiding forcing bottom-fishing against the trend or catching the top, not subjectively predicting turning points, and not forcing the market to follow your desired trend. The so-called natural flow is not about lying flat and doing nothing but about letting go of obsessions, objectively observing candlestick structures, trend continuation, and key support and resistance levels, understanding the current true state of the market, and then making decisions. All forced operations and contrarian bets are essentially a shallow understanding of market laws and insufficient recognition of trend forces.

Our goal in entering trades is profit, but the core of profitability has never been about predicting how much the market will move. It is first about controlling risk: first, safeguarding the maximum risk tolerance, avoiding heavy positions and gambling with life, calculating how much loss is acceptable before each trade; second, preventing risks from market volatility and divergence from expectations, not blindly trusting a single judgment, and leaving enough room for error.

Trading is fundamentally a probability game, not an equal game of chance. If you pursue every trade being correct and a 1:1 profit-loss ratio, that’s not trading but pure gambling. The true logic of profit is to identify effective signals repeatedly appearing in high-probability trends — support and resistance, trend continuation, confirmation of turning points — these technical patterns are not mystical but a repeated reflection of market sentiment and capital behavior, summarized as high-probability laws.

Stick to the rules, execute repeatedly effective signals, avoid subjective guesses, do not prematurely judge the end of the trend, and do not forcibly oppose the trend. Only then can you continuously capture opportunities within a probability advantage, turning short-term gambling into long-term stable profits.

As long as you have carefully read "Winning at K Line Turning Points," you can truly understand the trend and cycle transition logic behind candlestick patterns. Many people only look at price rises and falls, only guess highs and lows, but fail to grasp the key switch from weak to strong trends, from oscillation to trend, from small cycles to large cycles — fundamentally because they haven't caught the core of turning points.

True trading is not about predicting the market but understanding cycle resonance, structural turning points, and signal confirmation. The initiation, continuation, turning, and conclusion of a trend are all hidden in K line turning points: when the trend continues, when the cycle switches, when risks arrive, and when opportunities emerge — all have clear technical boundaries and signal patterns.

Understanding turning points is the key to understanding trends; understanding cycles helps avoid being misled by short-term fluctuations; understanding transitions allows you to avoid subjectivity, pre-judgment, forcing, and obsession.

"Winning at K Line Turning Points" truly teaches you not just simple buy and sell points but a complete system for identifying trends through candlestick analysis, judging cycle levels, and grasping timing at turning points. When you truly understand the logic of trend and cycle transitions, you'll realize: trading is not about betting on direction but about following rules, waiting for turning points, riding the cycle, controlling risks, and operating within high-probability signals to achieve more certain market opportunities.
