Field notes
How the 9 shows up after the close
The 9 and the 13 explain how the count works. These notes are the messy part: subway lock screens, morning meetings, a Tongdaxin chart that wiped 1–8, a sentence that cannot say buy. Retail and desk. None of them is a stock pick.

The 7s fell off the candles
I used to think the terminal was crashing. The 7 had been sitting under the bar since lunch. After one ugly close it was gone, and so were 1 through 6. I re-added the overlay twice.

I read the tape. I did not read a buy list.
We have twelve minutes. If I spend them explaining DeMark I get cut off. If I spend them pitching I get a compliance look. So I read names.

“低9 了，明天低开就干” is not the definition
The screenshot had a teal 9 under the bar and a caption that would not survive a compliance officer. I used to argue. Then I muted. Then I left.
Retail evenings
After work, after the A-share close, on the 2 train, in a WeChat group that will not shut up.
Investment desks
Morning meeting, intern handoff, three venue clocks, a memo legal actually reads.
