If you want to engage in short-term trading, don't be too superstitious about the saying "the simplest path is the best." Short-term trading is all about the ever-changing emotions, capital pulses, and Order Book battles. Where are there any universally applicable "simple rules"?

You think about it, if there really were a "大道至简" short-term method, it would have been thoroughly understood by others long ago, leaving no room for retail investors to pass it along. Those who say they make big money in short-term trading by relying on "simple logic" are either treating coincidence as necessity or hiding undisclosed details—perhaps they have developed a keen sense from observing hundreds of intraday charts, or they are agilely adjusting their positions in real-time according to fund flows. How can any of this be summarized as "simple"?

The market is like a tangled ball of yarn, and short-term traders focus on those few strands that have just emerged. With a flash of policy, a withdrawal of funds, or a shift in sentiment, the "rules" from the previous second could become invalid the next. If you truly believe in "the simplest approach is the best," and you try to force a fixed routine into the market, the likelihood is that you will either miss out or buy at a high point, making you vulnerable to being ground down by the complexities of the market.

In the end, short-term trading relies on "adaptability" rather than "simplicity". Instead of searching for some simple methods, it is better to focus more on the details of the Order Book and the movements of funds. This is the practical approach that aligns with the short-term market.
