No more imitation seasons? In the future, pancakes can only be made with T, focusing on low longs and high shorts?

Three insights into trading

     First insight: Jump out of the 'winning rate trap'

     Many beginners get obsessed with the pursuit of 'buy and it rises', but after truly entering the field, they will find that even with a 50% win rate, as long as the profit-loss ratio is maintained at 3:1 (for example, losing once 100, winning once 300), they can still profit in the long run. It's like tossing a coin, winning 3 bucks on heads and losing 1 buck on tails, even with a 50% win rate, you can still make money—the key is not to gamble on low-probability events just for the 'winning chance'.

    Second insight: Treat losses as 'trading tickets'

Stop-loss is not 'giving up', but buying 'insurance' for the system. For instance, when doing trend trading, using 2% of the capital as a stop-loss line, even if there are five consecutive stop-losses, the capital only loses 10%, but as long as one trend is captured, the profit can cover 10 losses. It's like wearing a seatbelt while driving; not wearing it may seem 'convenient', but an accident can be fatal.

    Third insight: Say goodbye to 'gambling mentality'

Heavy betting is like putting all your wealth on a lottery ticket; occasional wins can mislead people into thinking it’s 'skill', but a single mistake can lead to total loss. True experts operate like a factory assembly line, using fixed positions and fixed strategies repeatedly, such as trading with only 5% of the funds each time. Even with a 60% win rate, they can build a large snowball through compound interest. It’s like farming; it’s not about a single season's explosive harvest, but about the routine of spring plowing and autumn harvesting every year.

     Final closure: Effort is 'physical work', insight is 'mental work'. Effort is reviewing thousands of K-lines, backtesting hundreds of strategies, turning others' 'insights' into your own muscle memory; insight is seeing the human nature of the game through the ups and downs, such as understanding the counterintuitive logic of 'building positions when others panic and cut losses'.

It's like a chef cooking; following a recipe is effort, but being able to adjust the seasoning based on the heat is insight—trading is never about 'sudden inspiration', but about the understanding that blooms from the sweat poured into it.
