The truly profitable old investors have long stopped gambling
This market is actually never short of opportunities; what it lacks is you, who can endure floating losses, hold onto trends, and control your hands.
Many people lose money not because their skills are poor, but because they mistake "the randomness of the market" for "the hope to recover losses."
Let's analyze: why do you always make small profits and big losses, earn slowly and lose quickly?
Because you treat the market like a casino, chasing after rises driven by emotions and holding onto losses during declines; clearly, you have the right direction, but you get stuck in corrections.
Because you lack position planning, over-leveraging yourself; when you blow up your account, it's not the market's fault, but because you didn't leave yourself an exit.
Because you lack a sense of rhythm; a flurry of operations feels powerful as a tiger, but when you look back, you've net lost five hundred; the market is still there, but you're out of bullets, out of confidence, and out of opportunities.
Simply put, it’s not the market that defeats you, but your operations that ruin yourself. Therefore, the truly resilient old investors all follow these three core steps:
Step One: Maintain your capital; don’t rush to double it.
Your capital is your "life" in the market; each trade should not lose more than 5%, and after two losses, take a break.
Continuous stop-losses do not allow for increasing positions; don’t make emotional trades. When faced with sideways movements, it’s better to stay inactive than to force trades. Surviving is the premise of all strategies.
Step Two: Doubling down relies on rhythm, not on all-in bets.
Doubling is not based on luck; it relies on "rolling positions + increasing profits". For example, if you have 1000U, divide it into three parts:
One part for ultra-short trades (15-minute chart), one part for low-leverage trend trades (4-hour chart), and one part for hot spot stealth trades (daily chart). Each round’s profit target is 30%-50%; when you double, withdraw the capital, and continue to aim for high-probability major upward movements. Locking in the safety zone for capital ensures that profits are your bullets.
Step Three: Trade in markets you understand, don’t let emotions dictate your rhythm.
If you don’t understand, stay in cash; being observant is not cowardice, it’s protection. Absolutely do not chase highs or follow hot trends. Limit yourself to two trades a day; if you lose two trades, log off.
You haven’t lost to the market; you’ve lost to frequent trading + lack of discipline.
Conclusion: The truly impressive ones are not those who make ten times their investment in a single wave, but those who can consistently profit year after year, with steadily rising accounts.
Position strategy, profit-taking and stop-loss, logic for choosing hot spots?
Follow me, and I’ll help you transform from "randomly placing orders" to "rhythmically managing trades,"
Not betting on direction, but specializing in meat segments; once you grasp this, you’ll know what steady profits mean.
