Many of you have fallen into this trap:
Looking at a ton of indicators, with MACD and RSI all up, but ultimately placing orders based on intuition;
Placing dozens of orders a day, running away when you make a few pips, then holding on to losses, only to lose more and more, your mind falters;
Stay up all night watching the market, your eyes red, only to see your account balance shrink.
Making money with futures contracts is actually not that complicated.
I later developed a "lazy strategy": spending 10 minutes a day monitoring the EMA 21/55 is all it takes. This one strategy has consistently maintained a 90% win rate.
The strategy is very rigid:
Only follow the trend, don't guess the direction. Go long if the EMA 21 crosses above 55, and go short if it crosses below;
Only look at the 4-hour chart, don't go head-to-head with the main force in smaller cycles;
Always set a stop-loss, using the previous candlestick high/low as a risk control measure;
Start with a small position, add to it when you make a profit, and don't bet your entire fortune.
To put it bluntly, people lose money not because they don't know how to trade, but because they're too "smart": always trying to buy the dips and sell the tops, frequently trading, and ultimately getting punished by the market.
But this seemingly "dumb" approach, with its rigid rules and minimal operations, results in small losses when mistakes are made, and profitable gains when the direction is right. Over time, it's actually the most stable approach.
The competition in contracts is never about who has the most advanced skills, but about who can be a little more lazy and disciplined.
