Core Trading Philosophy - Emphasis on proactive profit-taking rather than the traditional view of "letting profits run," as significant market movements are rare, and most are characterized by fluctuations or small trends. This approach helps avoid large drawdowns and maintains trading confidence [2][4] - The strategy of partial profit-taking involves securing some profits while allowing the remainder to continue to grow [3] Profit Withdrawal Philosophy - The principle of "not pursuing compound interest, but insisting on profit withdrawal" has been practiced for over a decade. This approach helps mitigate "black swan" risks and impulsive trading, fostering a positive cycle of success and enhancing trading confidence [4][5] Trading Methodology - The strategy involves a combination of macro and micro perspectives, focusing on long-term trends in commodities like gold, silver, oil, and stock indices, while using short-term signals (5-minute, 15-minute charts) for entry points [6][7] - Rolling operations are employed for trending commodities, breaking down trends into smaller segments for continuous entry and exit, with active profit-taking based on market sentiment and technical indicators [8] Position Management - Initial positions are weighted heavily, typically controlling one-third of total capital in a single commodity, with initial entry sizes ranging from one-sixth to one-third of total capital [10][11] Self-Reflection and Risk Management - Acknowledgment that the most challenging phase is not during losses but when starting to realize profits, which can lead to over-leveraging. A significant setback during a transition from short-term to trend trading highlighted the importance of recognizing personal strengths and weaknesses [12][13] - Emphasis on self-awareness in trading, avoiding personal biases, and adhering to objective market facts to improve decision-making and achieve consistent trading performance [14]
