Five years ago, when my account was down to just 1,800 yuan, I slapped myself hard.

Initially, I invested 5,000 USD, learned a bunch of indicators, watched the charts every day, but what was the result? The more I traded, the more I lost. Holding positions, chasing rallies, randomly adding to positions—my principal was squeezed down to almost nothing. This is the fate of retail traders—always trying to catch every market move, unable to sit still when the K-line moves, and even when they can't understand it, they force analysis, only to end up wasting time.

It wasn't until I truly ran out of options that I realized one thing: trading contracts is actually an art of giving up. The more thoroughly you give up, the lower your risk, and paradoxically, the more you can earn.

The core logic I discovered is very simple—11 words: big cycle, big moving average, big slope, plus patience.

How exactly to operate? Focus only on daily charts and above; filter out all short-term fluctuations. Keep an eye on the 100-day moving average and above; short-term volatility can't create waves. The slope must be above 45 degrees; if the trend is too weak, just pass. The rest is patience. I refuse to look at markets that require you to repeatedly struggle over "long" or "short." I only take action when I can determine the direction at a glance and the trend is clear.

Later, I did it this way: spend 10 minutes each day scanning the daily chart, skipping anything that doesn't meet these "three standards." Others flaunt their short-term gains, but I don't envy. Sure, I missed many tempting opportunities, but I also avoided many pitfalls of liquidation.

With this seemingly "stupid" method, my 1,800 USD slowly grew—30,000, 120,000, 570,000, and five years without a single liquidation. While others stay up late for tiny profits, I’ve long earned steady income through "giving up."

Actually, trading isn't that complicated. Don't chase after market moves outside your system; only focus on the most familiar and typical opportunities. Making money becomes simple. Those who truly understand know this—I've spent years breaking through this mental barrier. Experts always rely on "insight" and maintaining their trading boundaries.
