#我的策略演变 My trading strategy has evolved through three stages, each transformation directly related to the pitfalls and losses encountered. Looking back, it has been an upgrade in mindset and understanding:
First Stage: Obsessed with the 'Holy Grail', chasing signals
When I first started, I always thought 'a good strategy = high win rate', and I was crazily infatuated with various combinations of indicators (like MACD + RSI golden crosses and death crosses, Bollinger Band breakouts). I would stare at the market every day looking for signals, trading frequently. When I made a profit, I thought my strategy was great, and when I lost, I would change indicators. The result was that I paid a lot in transaction fees, my account went on a roller coaster, and I was always anxious because I 'missed signals'.
Key Transformation: Realizing that 'win rate ≠ profit', what truly determines profit and loss is the 'profit-loss ratio'. For example, in 10 trades, if I made a profit in 4 and lost in 6, but made 3 units each time I earned and lost 1 unit each time I lost, I could actually make a profit in the long run. This shifted my focus from 'finding foolproof signals' to 'accepting losses and maximizing profits'.
