Having navigated this market for ten years, I’ve come to a realization — those who survive are never the best analysts. Instead, they are those who know how to do less.

Years ago, like many others, I focused on various technical indicators and chased after rumors. The result? The more complicated the strategy, the worse it performed in real trading. Execution was riddled with gaps.

Later, I threw away all that flashy stuff. Now, I only look at one pattern — the N-breakout. What does that mean?

The price first surges, then pulls back. I wait until it again breaks through the previous high with increased volume before I act. That’s the only signal I need.

I’ve also simplified my charts. Removed all moving averages, leaving only a 20-day line as a reference, and set it to light gray so it doesn’t steal the show.

My daily workload? 10 minutes.

Open the 4-hour chart in the morning, scan once. If no suitable pattern appears, I shut down the software. If there is, I set a 2% stop-loss and a 10% take-profit, then go about my day. No monitoring.

Many ask how I control my emotions. My answer is simple: replace emotions with rules.

When I earned my first million, I withdrew all the principal. After my account grew to five million, I converted half of the profit into real estate and stable investments. Only then did I continue trading.

What are the benefits of doing this? No matter how the market twists and turns, my life foundation remains intact.

Over the years, I’ve followed three ironclad rules:

First, only trade clear patterns. Chasing rallies? Never.

Second, set a stop-loss and exit immediately when hit. This is life, not advice.

Third, once reaching a profit target, withdraw some immediately. No matter how high the market goes afterward, it no longer concerns me.

Gradually, you’ll realize this market is like a chaotic sea. Most people chase the waves wildly, only to exhaust themselves.

True opportunities? They’re often hidden in the calm between waves.

You don’t need some overnight wealth myth. Earn a steady 10% profit each time, repeat twenty times, and time will give you the answer.

After ten years, I’ve cut away not my techniques but those unnecessary actions.

Finally, I understand one thing: in this market with an astonishingly high淘汰率, doing less is actually doing more.

I used to be like a headless fly bumping around in the dark. Now, I hold the light.

The light has always been on. Whether you follow it or not, it’s up to you.
