I stared at the dazzling loss figures in the account that night, and I felt like I was slapped hard by the market. The K-lines on the screen are messy, like a secret code that you can't understand.
I was tired of this feeling of being played with by random fluctuations - a real transaction, shouldn't it be as accurate as interpreting fingerprints and as clear as listening to breathing?
Later I understood that the top and bottom typing is the first "fingerprint" in the market.
For example, a short sale opportunity seems to be a classic three K-lines forming a high point, but when I shrink the cycle chart, I realize that the third K-line is not a firm decline, but a struggle with the long shadow - this fake move of "bottom-up and rebound" is exactly the fingerprint of the market hesitation.
Just as Livermore realized in "Memoir of Stock Operators": the minimum resistance route always appears in seemingly no way.
Memoirs of Stock Master ￥29.8 BuyA practical battle made me unforgettable. A certain variety forms a bottom part on the daily line, and the lower shadow line is as long as a steel needle.
When I switched to the 15-minute chart, I found that the tip of the "steel needle" corresponds to a textbook-like "decimal point break" - the price instantly broke through the support and quickly pulled back. This subtle "false breaking and true reversal" is the fingerprint imprint of a high winning rate.
But just looking at fingerprints is not enough. You need to hear the market's "breathing rhythm" - adjust the line segment.
Before going long once, I found that the K-line at the end of the decline segment contracted significantly: from the big negative line to the small cross star, it was like a sudden breathing gradually flattening.
When the last yin line with a long lower shadow faintly touched the previous low, I entered the field decisively - adjusting the suffocation feeling at the end, which was the deepest breath before the reversal.
The real "seasonal wind direction" is the key to success or failure. A certain time to capture the pullback buying point in the smooth main upward wave: the rise is like a steep cliff, without any fatigue, but suddenly encounters a sharp drop, with an amplitude of only 1/3 of the main upward section.
I quickly combined the weekly chart - the large-cycle upward channel is intact, and this sharp drop is nothing more than a small turbulence in the upward airflow. When the 15-minute chart showed the bottom pattern of "bottom-breaking and rebounding", I entered the market without hesitation. The subsequent increase verifies that the background of the big trend is an invisible hand that supports a high winning rate.
Multiple cycles are like switching between a telescope and a microscope. When doing the 15-minute band, I must look at the direction of the 1-hour chart - when the resonance of the large and small cycles is upward, it is like sailing down the wind.
What's even better is to find the entry point in the 5-minute chart: after a bullish pattern appeared in a certain 1-hour chart, I waited in the 5-minute chart. When a long positive breaks through the previous day's high point, the volume suddenly increases - the small cycle accurately cuts into the stop loss, and the profit and loss ratio suddenly becomes clear.
Reviewing now has become a habit. Faced with complex graphics, I am no longer anxious: the top and bottom structure is slightly weak? If the adjustment rhythm is perfect and the general trend is strong, it is still worth a try. All the conditions are mediocre? Then sit still.
As Jesse Livermore warned in the book, "Sometimes, inaction is the most difficult strategy, but the wisest."
The way of trading is science and art. The "fingerprints" and "breathing" in those K-lines taught me to listen to the subtle pulse of the market. Every capture of high winning rate begins with a humble search for laws rather than a greedy fantasy of huge profits.
Have you also captured the perfect moment of "clear fingerprints and smooth breathing" in your transactions? Which signal makes you still have a faster heartbeat when you remember it?
