Trading is not about guessing the direction; it's about fixing the system

Many friends new to contracts ask me: How do you play in competitions like WCTC? Is there a secret to winning with one move?

Today, I honestly share a framework I’ve used for a long time. I can't claim to win every time, but at least it helps you make each trade "clear in loss, clear in profit."

I call this framework the "Three Questions Opening Method."

First question: Is the overall environment permissible?
Open the daily chart and first look at the structure. Is it a unidirectional trend or a sideways range? Are the moving averages arranged in a bullish or bearish manner? Where are the support and resistance levels on the daily chart? If the daily is trending unilaterally, then pullbacks on the 15-minute and 1-hour charts are opportunities to enter in line with the trend; if the daily is sideways, then honestly do range trading—buy low and sell high—don’t expect a breakout. The overall environment sets the tone; if this step is wrong, everything else is a waste.

Second question: Is the entry signal valid?
I mainly look at two indicators together: RSI and volume. When the price pulls back to a key support level, if RSI starts turning up in the oversold zone, and volume shrinks then expands again, that’s a relatively reliable entry signal. The same logic applies for short positions, just in the opposite direction. Key levels must be validated by at least two or three historical tests; never draw a line yourself and call it support.

Third question: Is the risk-reward ratio appropriate?
This is a step most people overlook. Before placing an order, I require each trade’s expected risk-reward ratio to be at least above 2:1. For example, if I set my stop loss 100 points below support, then my take profit should be at least 200 points away. If the current market only offers a 1:1 space, I’d rather skip this trade. Over the long run, as long as the risk-reward ratio and win rate are reasonably paired, the account curve will naturally trend upward.

Additionally, here are some practical tips during the competition:

· Don’t trade within the first 5 minutes of intense news volatility; wait until the market digests the emotions before entering.
· Include transaction fees and slippage in your costs; frequent short-term trades are most vulnerable to fees eating into profits.
· During the competition, emotional management is more important than technical analysis. After two consecutive stop-outs, force yourself to rest for an hour.

This "Three Questions Opening Method" isn’t about mysticism; it’s about diligently doing your homework. It has helped me maintain stable returns across multiple seasons. If you’re willing to practice it until it becomes muscle memory, you’ll find trading becomes more composed, no longer relying on luck.

One last reminder: WCTC is a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t get envious when you see someone doubling their account on the first day; follow your own pace. Steady and consistent players are often the ones who laugh last.

Wishing everyone a great performance in WCTC S8. If you find this useful, please share and spread the word so more friends in need can see it.
