$PIPPIN Many people ask me, how should we actually trade short term?
First, let's state the conclusion: short-term trading is not about being quick to make money; it relies on rhythm, judgment, and discipline.
When trading short-term, the first step is always to look at the structure.
Where is the price now? Where are the support and resistance levels? Is it worth entering, and you need to think clearly before entering the market.
These are not decorations drawn for yourself, but the basis for deciding whether to "do it or not."
Second, it's about predicting emotions.
News is not something to chase; it's used to judge where the market may fluctuate.
Entering the market after all the news is out is often too late.
Third, short-term trading should be short.
If there are profits within the day, take them; don't turn short-term trades into long-held positions.
Trying to make quick money but not willing to exit will ultimately just drag you along with the market.
Breakouts and range fluctuations can all be traded, but there is only one prerequisite:
If you're wrong, admit it quickly.
Once a false breakout is confirmed, exit immediately; hesitation will only exacerbate losses.
Regardless of the short-term trading method, there are two bottom lines that cannot be broken:
First, there must be a stop loss;
Second, control the frequency of your trades.
Frequent trading consumes not opportunities, but capital and emotions.
Whether short-term trading can make money or not depends not on technique, but on whether you can restrain yourself.
First survive, protect your capital,
opportunities will naturally come to you.
