From a classification perspective, trading methods can essentially be divided into two categories: one is trend trading methods, and the other is counter-trend trading methods.

The underlying logic of similar trading methods is completely interconnected. In terms of the most commonly used trend trading logic, the foundation is to track the main force's warehouse building traces through candlestick chart processing.

Of course, it also looks for traces of the main force's exit, whether it's called absorption/distribution, inducement to short/inducement to long, or any of the many other various names, it doesn't matter much; the essence is 'finding fluctuations - defining direction - building positions with the trend - waiting to exit.' Therefore, the fluctuation trend is very important for trend traders.

In different trading methods, there are also different terminologies for fluctuation trends, such as various tops and bottoms, continuation structures, the frequently mentioned Wyckoff distribution and absorption, the determination of trend changes in multi-cycles, and the central concept in the theory of Chan, among many other methods and logics for defining fluctuations. Ultimately, they all trace trends through defining fluctuations and choosing directions.

The strength or weakness does not actually lie in the trading method itself, and at the technical level, knowing more does not necessarily lead to earning more. Finding a method that suits oneself is the best method.
