First cultivate the mind and seek knowledge, then take up the sword and hold positions, dedicated to the family members accompanying us on this journey!

To my old fans and disciples who have been following me all along, hello. I am Master Lin! [Taogu Ba]

Recently, everyone should have experienced it deeply: the market keeps fluctuating, accounts are being wiped out, and many people are gradually losing their direction, giving up and choosing to give in.

Many followers are also curious: after so many years of fighting in the market, I’ve seen the myth of overnight riches, and I’ve also seen countless people lose everything and leave. Clearly, I could trade steadily without fuss, without sharing or mentoring, so why do I still insist on coming out and sharing my trading methods, logic, and insights little by little?

This is my original intention: I’ve seen too many retail investors struggle blindly in the market, entering with passion and a bit of luck, chasing highs, copying trades, taking profits and running, or holding on through losses, only to see their hard-earned capital gradually swallowed by the market. I understand the helplessness and confusion of retail investors, and I know the anxiety of full positions and sleepless nights. I don’t want to be a lofty teacher; I just want to share my experiences, strategies, and refined trading system as someone who has been through it all, without reservation, to help more people avoid detours, stop being easily harvested by the market, and stand firm in the stock market with their own skills, holding their own destiny in their hands.

My mentoring and sharing of logic are never meant to make everyone blindly follow my stock picks, but to help everyone who trusts me build their own trading confidence—that is my unwavering original intention.

Recently, I’ve been talking with many disciples, and I feel very anxious. The most common questions are: why can others profit from popular themes while I keep getting trapped; why do others hold onto profits while I earn little and lose more, constantly stepping into traps and unable to avoid setbacks? The answer is actually very simple but also very painful: you can never earn beyond your level of understanding. Relying on luck will eventually lead to losses when your luck runs out.

Why do I desperately want everyone to learn patiently? Not because learning is useless, but because in the stock market, not learning can really be deadly.

Many people love copying trades blindly—copying codes but not logic, focusing only on results rather than methods. They chase after buy signals, hold onto stocks when told, but don’t understand industry support, capital flow, or price-volume trends and valuation safety margins. Such trading is essentially gambling—winning small and feeling proud, losing and getting trapped or forced to sell. If you place all your hopes on others for your holdings, once the market rotates or style shifts, you’ll lose your backbone instantly. Missing take profits and being passively trapped are common.

The most frightening thing in the stock market isn’t market fluctuations, but your ignorance about your own holdings; the biggest cost isn’t trading fees, but the laziness in your cognition. If you’re unwilling to spend time studying the relationship between price and volume, you won’t understand the true intentions of capital; if you’re unwilling to research industry logic, you won’t grasp the core support for upward movement; if you’re lazy about refining your stop-loss discipline, you can’t avoid large setbacks. You’d rather invest tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in stocks you don’t understand than spend time improving your understanding, and in the end, you’ll only be repeatedly educated by the market.

The reason I can select stocks steadily and maintain a stable win rate isn’t luck or news, but long-term dedication to research, understanding industry logic, refining strategies like limit-up replication and rebound tactics, and establishing strict position and stop-loss rules. First seek knowledge, then invest; first build a solid cognitive foundation, then match your capital to your understanding. Profits will come naturally.

The market is always fair. It won’t sympathize with those unwilling to learn; it only rewards those who focus on honing themselves. Relying on copying trades can’t be sustained; entrusting your fate to others will only cause panic. Only by thoroughly understanding logic and mastering methods can you know when to take profits during rises, stay firm during shocks, and cut losses during declines—regardless of how the market changes, you can respond calmly.

I earnestly advise everyone to learn, because I want you to break free from dependence on following the crowd, stop being market chives, and avoid being swayed by emotions in trading. I hope every follower of Master Lin can profit through their own understanding, hold their positions based on their judgment, and no longer feel anxious or uncertain. Stop blindly following others and truly take control of your trading initiative and account decisions.

Prioritize learning and investing in yourself first; understanding must come first for profits to follow. This is the principle I’ve always upheld and the real confidence I want to give everyone. May we all invest in ourselves first, then in the market—using understanding to exchange for profits, using logic to protect our accounts, and steadily advancing in the market to achieve long-term profitability.
