Treating candlestick charts as store shelves, market rises and falls as changing streams of customers, and every trade as an inventory adjustment: this is a trader's unique philosophy of running a business.
Here, there are no obscure technical analysis terms, only hands-on records in the style of a supermarket manager. How do you draw up your "stocking list" before the market opens? How do you "clear out inventory" and cut losses when the market fluctuates? When an unexpected "rush of customers" hits, in the form of a sharp rise or fall, how should you rearrange your shelves, or positions? After the market closes each day, review your profits and losses as if checking the supermarket's daily takings, and sum up your trading strategies like keeping track of bestsellers.
This is not a textbook, but a trading diary grounded in everyday life: the racing heartbeat of staring at the screen, the rueful review after a bad decision, the quiet delight of making a small profit, and, above all, the patience and wisdom to "run" trading as a lifelong pursuit.
Perhaps one day, when the author's children open these pages, they will see more than the ups and downs on candlestick charts. They will see how an ordinary person used a supermarket mindset to find a way to survive the market's chaos: weighing risk, restraining desire, and seeking a sure path through uncertainty.
