1、Guan Yu did not set a take-profit point; although he drowned the Seven Armies and shook China, he was jointly suppressed by two market makers, resulting in a direct liquidation.

2、Liu Bei held a heavy position and pushed hard; in the Battle of Yiling, his 300,000 war-chest funds were wiped out.
3、Zhuge Liang traded frequently; he launched six campaigns toward Qishan but returned without accomplishing anything.
4、Ma Su used technical analysis; in the Battle of Jieting, he broke below the support level.
5、Jiang Wei added to his position while in floating profits; during his nine invasions of the Central Plains, one plan ended up harming three worthy men.
6、History will prove Sima Yi’s greatness—staying in cash while waiting for a stock crash.
