May 8 Short-term Research Institute Review — Weekend Heart-to-Heart Chat

I didn’t want to update today originally, it’s the weekend after all, just being lazy and saying it’s okay. [Taogu Ba]
But after coming back from a dinner outside, sitting in the study, I still turned on the computer, no need to review the trades, I’ll do that on Sunday night. At that time, the news accumulation was a bit more, no need to revise now and keep changing it. So, I prefer to schedule my daily strategies before 8 a.m., firstly to keep my mind clear, and secondly because the news surface has mostly settled, all in one sweep. Everyone should be used to this rhythm, I think it’s the most scientific. Of course, it’s related to my ample free time; most classmates are on their way to work or school, haha. But really, there’s no need to worry about missing information; the content isn’t much. At 8 o’clock, you can finish reading while waiting for a green light on the subway, bus, or your BBA. Then, I just wait for my update after the bidding ends, and the market situation report at 10 o’clock. The three-pronged approach shows my sincerity—no room for sneaky tricks, but some arrangements are temporary, like yesterday’s HuaLiao +16, which was a decision made before the market opened after the bidding ended, and of course, shared with everyone as soon as possible. Today’s Zhongtian Technology is the same; many classmates are lower than me, so it’s quite comfortable intra-day. After hours, Zhongtian also released some good news about cooperation with Huawei, I really wish the market could open tomorrow, but it’s a working day and it won’t open.

The fluctuations in the market’s time-sharing chart on the other side, I rarely feel emotional about now, but I know most classmates are actually very nervous. The best holdings are all in the red above cost, if there’s even a little loss, they get anxious. I’ve definitely experienced this mentality too, when I first started short-term trading, who wasn’t a baby?
But, after more than a year of doing it, if you still think of yourself as a baby, then you’ve truly become a giant infant. If I were your fan, after I bombard you daily with straightforward, no-nonsense content, I think you should have grown up in half a year. Because I keep telling you some trivial, empty talk, just bragging about my own prowess, but I’m different—since the money I earn, in theory, I can’t share with you, so what does my bragging have to do with you? Your uncle is the chairman of a company, and he’s unwilling to arrange a job for you in the group. Even if he has a few billion, it’s just talk at your dinner table.
People need to be self-reliant! If you have strength, you have relatives in the deep mountains.
So, my philosophy is to help everyone become capable. I mean those who are truly my loyal fans and seriously watch my content, not some troublemakers. But honestly, I have very few haters; maybe a few occasionally, like Trump’s performative personality, just watch and move on. So far, I’ve only blocked one fan, I won’t say who, haha.
Back to the content.
This is my first time doing a self-media project. At first, I mimicked others’ content, which was somewhat stiff. For example, today’s Shanghai Composite Index + some amount, total market transaction volume, etc. But really, what’s the use of including these in a review? Fans wouldn’t look at that, right? Over time, I’ve gained some insights. Plus, I’m a pretty thoughtful blogger; my core content revolves around analyzing the day’s market logic, then summarizing some beneficial points for everyone. That’s the most important part. After all, I’ve been a slow bird for several years, and I’ve studied very hard during that time. More practical experience and knowledge are natural. Everyone will have it after a while.
I remember mentioning in an article that “preparation is key.” Before doing something, like short-term trading, you need to understand the core driving logic of short-term moves, then develop targeted strategies accordingly. You must have a set of efficient and reliable methods; otherwise, you’re always just scrambling, busy every day, and ultimately your account balance keeps shrinking. I believe many classmates are like that.
What I keep emphasizing is to only participate in the core stocks of popular sectors. Focus, brothers. There are over 5,000 stocks in the big A-share market, just keep an eye on the core few—three or five is enough. Managing the whole market, do you need to understand every single one? No, just the key ministers of the cabinet are enough. I say I review, but in fact, I already know in my mind who I will act on tomorrow. Review isn’t for stock picking; it’s to systematically filter the day’s market, because during the day I can’t just stare at trading. I have other things to do—some missed information, news, and review apps, all cross-checked. The entire short-term market pattern is like watching a movie. Then, after filtering with my big data-accumulated brain, a few core targets emerge. For example, after the long holiday on Wednesday, the natural focus was the big order of Dongyang Sunshine. Dongyang Sunshine is definitely a key anchor; is the market’s order enough? If the order on Wednesday was indeed sufficient, then I can confidently go for related targets.
The core ability for short-term trading, like any other job, is to extract important information. Don’t waste your limited energy on stocks that aren’t worth it. How many core anchor stocks can you identify daily? Not many. Today, I just looked at Dongyang Sunshine, Datang Power, Jin Tanglang, China Great Wall, and their feedback. When Jin Tanglang is confirmed to be pressed down, Dongyang Sunshine and China Great Wall will also likely be tired, which is easy to foresee. As for Datang, it was topped with a one-word board, and I told my friends today it would definitely open the limit down. The key is to see through the problem; short-term top stocks have certain chemical reactions. Like the three stocks that went from 4 to 5 yesterday—so exciting. After Baoguang plunged, Jin Tanglang immediately sealed, Yongshan opened green and quickly hit the limit again, three fools causing chaos in the big A-shares. You can’t look at stocks individually; only focusing on one won’t let you understand why this happens.
Some classmates say the success rate is indeed high. For me, that’s all based on clear logic. Today, I was very confident about Zhongtian Technology. From any angle, the optical communication sector’s positive energy at over 3 points far exceeds the negative. I also have full confidence in reaching the research institute’s T+2=8 target. Some say Hang Electric is better. I saw that early in the morning too, but currently Jin Tanglang was pressed down directly, and the high-standard eco is so poor that risking a three-board is much greater than with Zhongtian, which is a mid-tier. Both aim for an 8-point gain, so why not choose the lower-risk option? It’s not some minor stock; it’s a trend-following mid-tier like Longflying Optical, which shows its big role by market cap. So, don’t judge today’s choices by whether they are top leaders like Hang Electric or lower-tier stocks.
And, with over 5,000 stocks in the market, opportunities are everywhere every day. That requires everyone to stay clear-headed and disciplined. If you often pick the wrong one, it’s definitely your thinking process that’s flawed. Learn more from the big players or do more thorough review and reflection to find the reasons. The worst thing is to envy others. Look at how impressive others are in Baoguang, grabbing three or four limit-ups, or how they doubled their trend holdings. I’ve said before, that’s their business. Maybe they only have 10% of their position in Baoguang, and 60% is deeply trapped in some other stock. The information you see is all intentionally shown by them; who would reveal the bad stuff? Unless they’re like me, deeply tied up, with a simplified pre-market strategy locking in fewer than three stocks, and bidding info that’s very clear and straightforward, with no room for deception. Those who blow up after a 8-point gap-up and then review and hype stocks afterward are pointless. The purpose of content creation is to help students learn and benefit, not to hold a personal concert.
In short-term trading, patience is also necessary. When looking at K-line charts, you can look at them for years, but when you’re involved, you only get one K-line per day. Accumulating day after day creates a vast forest. I’ve heard too many boastful claims—monthly 50% gains, tens of millions in bidding, and then selling—these are all nonsense. I just shake my head and think, “Who cares?” I have no responsibility to change anyone; loyal fans are attracted by my content, my theories, and my solid success rate, and my sincere pre-market transparency. Just like iPhones sell well because they’re genuinely good, not like some Xiaomi phones that still overheat and have poor battery life in 2026.
That’s all for now. Whatever comes to mind, I say it. This is the most relaxed and free review I’ve done. Tomorrow, I’ll continue that series on learning ultra-short trading from scratch.

Thanks very much to those who tipped in the post yesterday:
