Abandon the idea of "getting rich overnight" and embrace long-termism, avoiding the traps of chasing themes, trading small caps, and using leverage. 2. Utilize professional tools for informed decision-making, avoiding blind following of trends, especially in the face of uncertainties. 3. Strictly adhere to risk control rules, including maintaining appropriate position sizes, setting stop-loss lines, and avoiding leverage and speculative stocks. 4. Maintain a mindset that influences long-term success, focusing on cultivating investment habits during this slow bull market and shifting from frequent short-term trading to a philosophy of weekly reviews and deepening industry logic [5].
