Don't always think about finding the perfect approach. In fact, some people's turnaround relies on the simplest and most direct methods.
Let me start with a harsh truth: trading is not suitable for everyone. If you still see it as gambling deep down, then continuing to play is just another way of transferring your money out.
You've probably felt this curse—losing right after entering a position, rallying right after you close, and the market suddenly surging in the opposite direction at the moment of liquidation. It's not bad luck; frankly, it's because your trading rhythm has never matched the market's pulse.
Recently, I gathered some friends who had been consistently losing money, and we explored starting over together. We didn't use any complicated techniques—just returning to the basics. After a month, most of them managed to fill the gaps in their losses.
Some even used very small capital and managed to grow their accounts in a short time. It's not luck; it's because the method, although a bit "rustic," really works.
Many failures are not due to lack of insight but because they look down on simple things. They get mesmerized by high leverage, full positions, and the dream of overnight riches, blindly placing orders based on feelings. After being beaten back and forth by the market multiple times, they go looking for the next "expert." This cycle keeps repeating.
My own approach is straightforward—never rely on luck, only on rhythm. When the rhythm is right, you don't need to be glued to the screen all day, nor do you have to torment yourself mentally. Instead, make fewer moves, prepare in advance, and wait for the market to reach the right position—that's when profits are more likely to appear.
My core ideas are these points:
**Don't trade too frequently**—two or three times a week is enough. It's not about doing nothing, but about each move having quality.
**Do your homework in advance**—plan early, never chase the highs. The last buyers are usually those who chase after the peak.
**Set boundaries for your positions**—this is your moat. The maximum drawdown you can tolerate must be predetermined; don’t keep expanding your bottom line as the market moves.
**Set realistic goals**—don't expect to double your money on a single trade. Use compound growth principles, gradually stacking your profits. Over time, the numbers will speak for themselves.
This set of principles may not sound "flashy" or showcase high-end techniques, but it can save your life. I won't claim it's perfect, but at least it can pull people out of chaos and help them regain their rhythm.
It's not that you're not smart enough; it's that you were too impatient and chaotic before. No one explained to you in plain language that this slow-looking but truly turnaround path exists. Those who can truly escape the predicament are never the ones seeking overnight riches but those willing to put in the effort to master the basics.
To sum up in three sentences:
Identify the right direction, keep in sync with the market's rhythm, and then just keep executing. Everything else is nonsense.
