Many people, upon entering the market, feel that it's all about luck: buy right to profit, buy wrong to lose. Even after losing dozens of times, they still haven't realized that what truly determines wins and losses is not the market conditions, but rather one's understanding!
I was the same way before, staring at the screen until I lost sleep, changing countless indicators and strategies, yet the more I did, the more confused I became. Until I met an experienced senior who turned tens of thousands into hundreds of millions. He enlightened me with a single phrase: trading is not about who is smarter, but about who has a better method.
At that moment, I completely understood.
I'm not the best at predicting, but I've been able to profit steadily for ten years. It's not luck, nor is it about taking big risks, but rather a clear system of thinking and execution logic.
Why do you keep losing? It's not due to poor skills, but rather because your thinking is stuck in a deadlock. You are fixated on short-term fluctuations, being led by the market; whereas true experts focus on structure and rhythm, interpreting the market as a story.
The framework below is something I've always used, and it can help you avoid detours:
- Look at the direction: the high and low points of the day are the most intuitive indicators; breaking through the previous day's extremes = a new trend may begin.
- Look at the strength: don't be misled by sudden spikes; if key levels are not broken, everything may just be a bluff.
- Look at the rhythm: increasing volatility = opportunity is near; shrinking to the limit = explosion may happen at any time.
- Look at the position: daily K-line support and resistance are the basis for decision-making; if not broken, go with the trend; if broken, be decisive in adjusting.
- Look at the trend: if the overall direction is down, don’t greedily go long; if the overall direction is up, be cautious of going short against the trend.
Lastly, here's a mantra for you: when the Bollinger Bands open up, it's mostly one-sided; when the Bollinger Bands close, it's mostly oscillating; when the trajectory hooks, it often indicates a pullback or rebound.
Ultimately, opportunities in the market are always there; the difference lies in whether you are being led by the market or if you can logically understand the market. When you truly comprehend that moment, you'll realize that making money isn't as difficult as you imagined.
What you lack is not effort; this market is not short of opportunities. What you truly lack is someone who can help you achieve stable profits in this market.
