Continuing from yesterday’s barnacle strategy with grid trading, here’s a detailed practical share. Grid trading is a mechanical, low-monitoring manual personal quantitative strategy. Based on this core trading idea, I set price ranges according to different market sizes and trading activity, buy on dips, sell on rises, repeatedly capturing the spread through monitoring. Some say, isn’t this just high sell low buy? But there are nuanced differences. You first determine the trading asset, price upper and lower limits, grid count, and capital per grid, then divide the range into multiple “cells.” When the price drops one cell, automatically buy; when it rises one cell, automatically sell. It doesn’t predict market direction, only follows discipline to arbitrage repeatedly, suitable for sideways markets, reducing costs while accumulating small profits into big ones. But it requires strong discipline to avoid chasing highs and selling lows, so it’s more suitable for quantitative order setting. However, as I shared before, no strategy is guaranteed to be profit-only. The downside of grid trading is that in a strong upward trend, it may sell prematurely, and in a strong downward trend, it may keep buying, requiring sufficient capital and strict stop-loss. Avoid using it on highly volatile assets; instead, choose stable, trending assets aiming for steady compound interest rather than explosive gains. Another suitable scenario is for sideways or small upward trending assets, where grid trading becomes a trading hotbed.
The most helpless thing in investing isn’t not understanding the risks, but understanding them yet being unable to control your actions. The biggest regret isn’t missing opportunities but falling into traps that could have been avoided. The essence of investing is a battle against human nature. Successful investors use discipline and systems to transcend instinct, achieving long-term compound growth. The past is clear, the future is blurry; learn to expect results and accept the process. Most assets only have about ten percent of their core growth time; the remaining ninety percent is testing. To gain, you must first make yourself worthy. Ultimately, you can avoid taking profits when you’re ahead, but stop-losses must be executed decisively.
The essence of modern human life is becoming increasingly pale. Reflecting on the previous decline in the photovoltaic industry, it’s actually a great new era energy source. For the first time, I felt the harm of industry involution and overcapacity so deeply. But then I thought, isn’t that also true around me? Every industry is like that—industry involution, people involution. Maybe my understanding is superficial, and I haven’t touched the common pale essence of modern life. The core human activities are biking outdoors, camping, sunbathing at the beach, jogging in the city, sitting in cafes drinking coffee, calmly reading on the subway or train. Not everyone believes life should be spent earning more money and standing out. I just want to share my true feelings: every time I see a pair of cyclists disappear into the woods or sheep and cattle leisurely grazing and sleeping on a sunny lawn, I can’t help but wonder, why do some people live so tired, so投入, so willingly, so negating human nature? I admit some find happiness in social attributes—earning money, working, socializing. But after so many years, I find I can only be happy in natural attributes—being an animal that lives in nature, forests, lakes, beaches, eating well, sleeping well, just living like an animal, not so much like a person. Maybe just a sheep, baa baa. Or a cow, moo moo moo, bullish market.
If there’s someone who can actively lead you forward, more mature and calm, teach you to distinguish right from wrong, help you shed negative emotions, broaden your horizons, grow with you, teach you financial management, and point out your way back when you make mistakes—rather than blaming you with ignorance—such a person will not only teach you but also motivate you to become better. They don’t need you to speak or teach; they have a broader perspective, stronger ability, longer vision, and understand human relations. One of the possible qualities and mindsets of such a person is that they are likely involved in stocks or futures trading.
