Xu Xiang is a controversial figure in the Chinese stock market, and his stock trading methods and investment strategies serve as a reference for everyone:

1. Limit Up Strategy: Xu Xiang and his cousin Ma Xinqi devised a limit up strategy based on the rules of price limits, known as the 'Eight-Step Operation Method for Following the Limit Up'. This strategy includes principles such as the timing of sealing the board, the higher likelihood of low-priced stocks becoming leading stocks, and rapid linear rises when sealing the board in the intraday trend. This virtual currency likely does not apply as it has no limit up.

2. Leading Stock Strategy: Xu Xiang is skilled in the leading stock strategy, which involves identifying the market's spiritual leader (leading stocks) at the first opportunity, then getting in and holding on. Leading stocks often play a leading role within the sector, and their upward movement and sustainability may outperform other stocks in the sector.

3. Short-term Trading Principles: Xu Xiang emphasizes speed and decisiveness in short-term trading. Except for the strongest leading stocks, any individual stock that does not hit the limit up should be decisively exited. He emphasizes waiting for the stock to seal the board before intervening, and controlling risk is always the top priority.

4. Capturing Market Hotspots: Xu Xiang is skilled at capturing market hotspots and quickly intervening in related stocks to gain high short-term returns. This requires investors to have the ability to quickly collect and analyze market information and make decisive decisions.

5. Fundamental Research: Xu Xiang focuses on fundamental research of companies, conducting in-depth analyses of financial conditions, industry positions, competitiveness, and other factors to assess the stock's value and future development potential.

6. Operational Techniques: Xu Xiang's operational techniques are relatively aggressive; he dares to hold large positions in stocks he is optimistic about and frequently buys and sells during trading to obtain price difference profits. This aggressive strategy also comes with higher risks.

7. Risk Control: Xu Xiang is cautious about leverage; he rarely uses leverage in investments but relies on his own funds and precise operations to generate profits. At the same time, his risk control philosophy is reflected in the evaluation methods for researchers at Zexi, such as recommending that stocks should not drop more than 10% after purchase; otherwise, unconditional stop-loss is required, and adding positions is not allowed.

8. Grasping Market Sentiment and Main Force Intentions: Xu Xiang is adept at grasping market sentiment, being fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. He can also understand the intentions of the main force through certain methods, knowing how the operator washes the plate and sells shares, thereby following the operator to gain benefits.
