Just now, a friend who trades contracts messaged me, feeling frustrated:
“Yan Jie, I see you so calm every day, only making a few moves a year, how can your account still multiply several times? I stare at the market for over ten hours every day and am instead doubting my life.”
I put down my phone and replied to him with a voice message, the gist of which is as follows👇
First, respect the cycle and ignore the noise.
If you live in the 5-minute chart, then all you see is gambling. $ON
I consider all movements below 1H as "invalid fluctuations"; I only use the 4H to observe liquidity structure. The real bullets are only loaded when the daily and weekly charts resonate. Frequent trading is not diligence; it's irresponsibility towards your own capital.
Second, establish a "mechanical" logic for increasing positions.
Don't go all in right away. $B3
First, use a very small position to "throw stones to find the path"; this is called trial and error cost. Once the weekly-level signal is confirmed, then increase your position in a pyramid style. Set stop-loss outside the weekly candlestick body, wide enough that you hardly feel the pain, so you can hold on.
I often tell my fans: tight stop-losses are for gamblers, while wide stop-losses are for trend hunters.
Third, time is your friend, while watching the market is your enemy.
After I open a position, the shortest holding period is 2-4 weeks.
During this period, I don’t look at the market, even uninstall the software. Every day, I only spend 5 minutes after the market closes to check the trading plan: Has the structure broken? Is the trend still there? $SWARMS
The rest of the time, I go to the gym, spend time with family, and focus on my main job. When you’re not watching the market, it ironically rewards you.
Fourth, reducing frequency is the source of high profits.
Many people can’t hold positions because all they see is the red “+$” symbol.
I only see “has the structure been broken.” As long as the trend is not dead, this position feels like it doesn’t even exist.
Even if you only catch 3 waves a year, each wave at 50%-80%, compounded, it results in astonishing numbers.
In this market, making fewer decisions is the ultimate wisdom.
