If expressed through the book *Reminiscences of a Stock Operator*, I can say that most of my current trading principles are almost entirely derived from this book. It has had a huge impact on me. There are a few sentences that everyone might be familiar with, such as:



First, "The market will always move in the direction of the least resistance."

Second, "You need to know that this is a bull market." This means that during a bull market, you should trust that the trend has formed and believe that the market will carry you to earn excess returns.

Third, and also crucial, is "Never trade against the trend." The root cause of many people's losses lies here: they always want to trade both sides, wanting to catch both the long and short moves. But the result is often getting hit from both ends.

Haha, getting hit from both sides is too real. I was long and short at the same time and got liquidated last year. Now I honestly follow the trend.

Actually, the hardest part isn’t understanding the book—it’s carrying out the discipline in the book to the very end. Between knowing and doing, there’s a gap of ten thousand miles.

Classics never go out of style; the truths from a century ago still hold true today.

The trend is your friend, and going against the trend is your enemy—sounds simple, but fewer than one in ten can actually do it.
