A9 God shares: There are trading methods everywhere, but what is the core essence that allows for lasting profitability?
1. Learn to control stop-loss: Stop-loss is the foundation of take-profit and is the first lesson in trading.
The purpose of stop-loss is to teach you to recognize mistakes, to turn around, and to resonate with the market; stop-loss is retreating to advance, and the purpose of retreating is to preserve your own balance.
2. Enter with quality: Shooting is not about shooting randomly; every shot must be precise and have a chance of success, and patience is required. This means taking action at the critical turning points and where there is a probability advantage.
3. Focus on the profit-loss ratio: Each shot should have a significant gain, and one shot can cover three to five stop losses; only such buying points are meaningful.
At the same time, the gains from taking a shot need to be realized in a short period of time, which concerns time costs.
4. Stick to the main upward trend: No matter how the market environment changes, always stay within the main upward trend. The main upward trend represents the strength of capital; where there is capital, there are more "fish."
5. Clearly define entry and exit signals: A key K line determines the nature; if it breaks, exit; if it comes, enter; no ambiguity whatsoever.
6. Aligning with the underlying logic of the market maker: The underlying logic of trading must be consistent with that of the largest market maker. Only by moving forward and backward in sync with the controlling market maker can one enter when needed and retreat when necessary.
7. Start with the right practice: The above are all theories, and one should not be overly ambitious. It is necessary to engage in real trades with minimal capital to establish correct trading behavior, and to verify through practical experience whether one's trading philosophy is feasible and can withstand market scrutiny.
8. Don't rush to make money; pursue long-term stability: Don't be eager to earn money; you need to practice steadily for three years, being able to maintain stability in both bull and bear markets every year.
9. Control trading time and take the initiative: Limit your trading time to half an hour each day and avoid over-investing. Set your stop-loss after entering the market, then you can turn off your computer and go to work. Remember, it is "I" who trades, not trading that plays "me".
10. Actively empty the position, settle oneself: There are many market opportunities, but remain unmoved. During market downturns, focus on learning, fitness, and rest, and settle oneself through standing meditation and observing the mind.
The above 10 points build upon each other, advancing step by step, and must be solidly implemented to achieve the unity of knowledge and action. Only then can one feel at ease and maintain balance in trading.
