Trading Enlightenment: The Eternal Principles of an Impermanent Market
The market is like the four seasons, with prosperity and decline both having their time.
The true top hunters understand that trends are impermanent, positions are cyclical, and systems are fundamental.
1️⃣ Impermanent Trends: Both bulls and bears are temporary visitors; when a level breaks, cut losses immediately, like autumn leaves falling from branches, without attachment or retention.
2️⃣ Cyclical Positions: Gains and losses are but fleeting clouds; taking profits is like the spring snow beginning to melt, light positions lead to rebirth.
3️⃣ Systems are Fundamental: Candlestick charts change dramatically, but only rules remain steadfast as a mountain.
They navigate the market with the "Three No Rules":
🚫 Do not be infatuated with past bull and bear markets — cut losses immediately upon a break
🚫 Do not fear future volatility — hedge early against black swans
🚫 Do not entangle with current gains and losses — gains and losses are merely projections of perception
True traders can plant new positions amidst the ruins of a margin call,
And can also actively reduce their holdings at the peak of enormous profits, with a mind as calm as still water.
Because they have long understood: the market itself has no bulls or bears; volatility reflects the human heart.
In the realm of trading, both advance and retreat are Zen.
