Features: This book primarily describes the process of the protagonist becoming a true professional trader. It also mentions how the protagonist devoted significant effort to learning various securities theories, leading a friend to ask, "What should we study?" The book covers many securities theories, such as wave theory, cycle theory, etc. However, engaging in securities is a real battle with actual money, not just theoretical research. Therefore, the importance of results far outweighs the research process. What we study must be something that can directly help with investment. Some friends often encounter situations where conclusions painstakingly argued for using various methods are dismissed by their superiors. I, however, believe such superiors are actually wise, as they at least recognize the limited effectiveness of these theories.
Being a professional trader is an admirable and mysterious profession. The protagonist of this book, Kang Li, got involved in China's stock market in the early 1990s and became a professional trader six years later. The book reflects the frenzy, calm, obsession, and mystery of early Chinese stock market participants, as well as the diverse relationships between people. Kang Li's personal experiences aim to encourage readers not to fear difficulties and to strive for the work they love. Beyond its thrilling plot, the book also includes detailed descriptions of real-time trading scenarios, particularly in terms of price movements, pressure, and the psychological changes and market reactions that accompany them, allowing readers to truly understand every crucial detail of capital operations.
