Last night, my fan Ayue sent me the trading log, saying he wanted me to help him polish it into a share.
After reading it, I replied with just one sentence: this is not a log; it is clearly an extremely simplified survival manual.
So, I changed it into the following passage, narrated in the first person, retaining his 'clumsy method' spirit but completely switching to my tone —
---
The 17th fan I took this year, Ayue, used to fill his screen with MACD, KDJ, and Bollinger Bands, yet he faced liquidation every month. I had him delete everything and only keep two moving averages:
EMA21 and EMA55. The reasoning is blunt —
Look at 21 for the short term, and 55 for the medium term;
Golden cross, only go long; death cross, only go short.
I was too lazy to change the colors; the red-green contrast is obvious enough.
Enter the market only on the 4H chart.
Bullish candle + EMA21 crossing above 55, open a 5% long;
Bearish candle + EMA21 crossing below 55, open a 5% short.
The rest of the time? Turn off the computer, work out, spend time with the cat, and don’t get itchy fingers.
Stop loss is like shoelaces; if it’s loose, you will fall.
I had him set it at the high and low points of the last 4H K, cutting immediately if losing 5% of the principal.
After cutting, take a sip of water and continue to the next one, resetting emotions to zero.
Profits should be rolled over, but what rolls is the profit, not the position.
First position 5%, floating profit 5% plus 5%, then floating profit adds again, until the two moving averages cross again, close all with one click.
If the market doesn’t turn back, profits naturally roll into a snowball; if the market turns around, just take the pullback without damaging the principal.
Ayue asked me: what if I miss out?
I said missing out is cheaper than making a mistake.
At most two trades a day; if missed, just sleep;
making a mistake means staying up to fix it, which can easily cost you tomorrow's opportunities as well.
This 'clumsy method' has been running for 90 days, and for the first time, Ayue's curve has risen.
He summarized: it’s not that the system is magical, but the rules are so few that they cannot be violated.
I also gave him a phrase for his screensaver —
Think of the market simply, think of yourself clumsily, and time will make you rich.
