[Red Envelope][Vote] Available at noon, sharing some insights about the leader in the industry
Many people ask me about my past experiences on [TaoGuBa].
Actually, it was a stroke of good luck.
I entered the market half a year ago and met my mentor.
I’ve stepped into deep pits and crawled out.
I’ve learned various trading styles and been through hardships.
Today, I want to share some real feelings with my like-minded friends who follow the same frequency.
After two years, here are some honest insights.
1️⃣ What is a leading stock?
When I first entered the market,
I didn’t understand what a leading stock was.
I thought the stocks that rose the most were the leaders.
Later, I realized that’s not the case.
A leading stock is the one that
drives the sector when it rises,
sets the mood when it falls,
is active when the market is good,
and signals the end when it declines.
Such stocks
rarely appear more than a few times a year.
2️⃣ When to buy a leading stock
Many ask me
how to judge the right entry point.
Honestly,
there’s no standard answer.
Each leading stock moves differently.
The only commonality is:
before it shows its leadership,
no one knows it’s a leader.
My approach is:
look at the first breakout for confidence,
the second for support,
the third for sector strength,
and then consider the overall momentum.
3️⃣ Position management
The easiest mistake in ultra-short-term trading
is going all-in at once.
I’ve made that mistake too.
Holding a heavy position in one stock,
only to hit a limit-down,
wasting half a month.
Now I diversify my holdings,
no more than 30% in one stock.
If I’m optimistic, I add more,
but I don’t gamble.
When the gambling mindset appears,
my actions become distorted.
4️⃣ Stop-loss discipline
What’s most important in ultra-short-term trading?
It’s not buying accurately,
but cutting losses quickly.
If I’m confident, I buy;
if not, I sell.
No fantasies,
no hesitation,
no waiting to see.
Waiting a day might cost me a dozen points.
Now, I sell when the price breaks support,
or when the target isn’t met.
Even if it rises after I sell, I don’t regret.
Discipline is for execution, not for hesitation.
5️⃣ Emotions are more important than technicals
After doing ultra-short-term trading for a while, I realize
technical indicators are just tools.
The real factor that determines profit or loss is
emotion.
Knowing when to go all-in,
and when to pull back,
is not about candlestick charts,
but about market sentiment.
When the leader hits multiple boards, be more confident.
When it breaks support, tighten your grip.
It’s like weather—
wear appropriate clothes,
carry an umbrella when needed.
6️⃣ About missing the sell
Missing the sell is common.
Every ultra-short-term trader has experienced it.
Selling and then hitting the limit-up,
or hitting the limit-up and continuing to rise.
I’ve come to understand that
it’s impossible to catch the entire move.
Profit within your understanding is enough.
The rest
is for those who truly understand.
7️⃣ How to review your trades
After each market close,
I spend a few hours without fail.
Which sectors were strong today?
Which stocks led the rhythm?
Which stocks hit the limit and why?
What’s the plan for tomorrow?
I write it all down.
Over time,
patterns naturally emerge.
8️⃣ Mindset cultivation
Ultra-short-term trading is the most testing mode.
Big swings are normal.
When hitting the limit-up, I feel like a god.
When hitting the limit-down, I doubt everything.
Gradually, I learned:
don’t get carried away when making profit,
don’t panic when losing.
Today’s gains might be lost tomorrow,
today’s losses might turn into gains.
Focus on the long term,
not on a single day.
