A fellow trader once asked me, “Master, why do you only trade a few times a year, yet always manage to double your money?”
The answer lies in patience and perspective. I ignore small fluctuations and focus only on daily and weekly charts. Minor moves on lower timeframes are just noise. With small trial positions, I test the waters; once a weekly close confirms direction, I gradually increase size with wide stop-losses. This way, both the market and my mind have room to breathe.
Each trade lasts at least a month. I don’t watch the charts constantly—just three minutes after each daily close to check whether the trend continues or consolidates. The rest of the time, I focus on living: reading, exercising, building skills. To outsiders, I only “invest casually,” but in reality, I manage seven-figure positions.
The key is seeing trends, not floating profits or losses. Nine small stop-losses may fail, but the tenth big trend pays for them all—plus a year’s living expenses. Big money isn’t made by constant tinkering; it’s gifted by the market when you wait for the right wave.
Trade less, think bigger, and let time do the heavy lifting.
