When it’s time to take big meat, hold it. At least take some profit when the price probes the previous high twice. When it breaks out, add to your position to chase. You’re still trading frequently every day—dozens of orders in and out in a single day—so you need to optimize your trading style. In this phase, only by eating the big-correction swing can you make big money. If you trade in and out too often, eventually you’ll have gaps where you miss opportunities. In terms of profit/loss and cost-effectiveness, going in and out—always one side then the other—ends up wearing you down, not worth it. In early September, I decided to remove the short-selling key; the goal is to slow down the rhythm a bit. Slowness is speed.

As for how fast my short-term trading is, there aren’t many people online faster than me. In the first three years, I averaged 700 trades per day. Many people ask whether it’s quantitative trading—actually it’s all manual. It’s just that the exit orders were pre-set. That old way of playing was too exhausting; as I got older, I couldn’t take it anymore. Now I’m well versed in Daoist thinking and understand the importance of following the trend.
