Everything is foldable, cognition can be reconstructed
A speculator's self-cultivation, a retail trader's survival code
Four Principles
Acknowledge Your Weakness
In crypto markets, retail traders are at the bottom of the food chain. Acknowledging this is the first step toward survival.
Stop-Loss Is Faith
Traders who don't set stop-losses aren't brave — they're ignorant. Stop-loss is not a strategy option; it's a survival faith.
Cognitive Reconstruction
Everything is foldable — your worldview, values, and trading philosophy can all be deconstructed and rebuilt.
Texture Beats Strategy
A trader with texture survives without methodology. A trader without texture dies faster with more methodologies.
Selected Essays
English summaries of the most representative passages from the Founder's Notes. Original Chinese text available via links.
The Market Has No Face — What You See Is Your Own Projection
Original: 「行情本无相，映入心中皆是幻」
The market has no inherent direction. Those red and green curves are just numbers moving. But your mind turns them into an emotional entity — euphoria when rising, despair when falling. You think you're analyzing the market; you're actually analyzing your own fear and greed. The K-line is a mirror — it reflects not the market, but you.
When Ego Arises, Stop-Loss Feels Like Cutting Your Own Flesh
Original: 「慢心生时，止损如割自身肉」
You don't stop-loss not because you believe the price will recover. It's because "stop-loss" equals "I was wrong" in your mind, and "I was wrong" equals "I have no value." Your ego has become a shackle, choking you into choosing more losses to prove "I'm still right." The more you lose, the more you hold — the more you hold, the more you lose.
Seeking Certainty Never Ends — Signals Are Moon in the Water
Original: 「求定永不得，信号终是水中月」
You wait for a "certain signal." You tell yourself: once the signal is confirmed, I'll act. But certainty doesn't exist. What you're waiting for isn't a signal — it's an excuse: "If I'm wrong, I have a reason." Certainty is an illusion of safety you painted for yourself. Delete "certainty" from your dictionary. There are only probabilities. Build rules, not convictions.
No One Can Cross This Path For You — Every Soul Must Save Itself
Original: 「无人能渡此路，众生皆须自度」
You sit alone before the screen. Your account is losing. You don't know who to talk to. You keep seeking an external voice to tell you "you're doing the right thing, keep going." You're seeking externally a confidence that should come from within. Accept solitude — its other face is freedom. Your decisions are yours, your losses are yours, your account is yours. No explanation needed. No approval required. A warrior needs no audience — only the knowledge of why he fights.
