Trading isn't for everyone. Some people treat it as gambling from the start, and no matter how many different strategies they try, the outcome is basically locked in—still losing money.

We've all seen this scene: buy and then turn around, sell and it hits the daily limit, and at the moment of liquidation, the market suddenly surges. That's not bad luck; frankly, it's just a matter of not timing it right.

Recently, I’ve been guiding a few friends who kept losing money to start over. I didn’t teach any advanced techniques, just clarified the rhythm. In a month, most of their accounts returned to balance, and some with small funds even managed to turn positive quickly in the short term.

Guess what they relied on? Not luck, but those seemingly "basic" yet damn effective methods.

The big problem is here: most failures aren’t because they can’t learn, but because they look down on simple things. They’re still chasing high leverage, full positions, gambling on feelings, and getting beaten by the market, then going to find the next "miraculous strategy."

I never gamble; I only follow the rhythm. When the rhythm is right, you don’t need to trade frequently or stare at the screen until your eyes cross.

The core idea isn’t that complicated:
Trade two or three times a week is enough, don’t chase high-frequency operations;
Plan your entry points in advance, never chase the rise;
A single drawdown that’s tightly controlled is the key;
Don’t be too greedy with profit targets; use compound interest logic to grow slowly.

It sounds so ordinary, it’s almost boring. But it’s this simple approach that keeps people alive. Advanced? Maybe not. Effective? Absolutely. It can drag you out of chaos.

You’re not not smart enough; it’s just that you were too impatient and scattered before, and no one told you the truth—the slowest route is often the real way to turn things around.

Those who can get out of trouble are never the ones trying to get rich overnight, but those willing to settle down and build a solid foundation. Especially when big events like the US Non-Farm Payrolls hit, rhythm management becomes even more crucial.

Remember three words: see the direction clearly, get the rhythm right, then execute.
