(Original) What is a trading system?

Friends who often jump off buildings have heard of trading systems. Many big Vs also talk about mysterious and unpredictable trading systems, just like martial arts secrets. Once you learn them, you can travel all over the world.

Teachers who often blow up their positions also use chicken feathers as a command, various indicators, various naked K, various trend line pressure points, etc., and listen to the leeks and bow their heads and shout awesome.

In my opinion, the trading system should be a comprehensive system:

Direction judgment system, entry strategy, stop profit and stop loss strategy, capital management system, emotion management system, these five categories.

1. Direction system. No matter what theory you use, whether it is Fibonacci theory, Elliott wave theory, entanglement theory, moving average theory, etc. The most important thing about these tools is to judge the direction! Simply put, it is whether the long-term trend is long or short.

2. Entry strategy. Whether you use overbought and overbought strategies, top and bottom divergence strategies, Fibonacci strategies, or even Kent channel strategies. In this 365-day x 24-hour super speculative market, you can enter the market at any position, but which entry position is the most advantageous? Which has the largest profit-loss ratio? You have to know it yourself.

3. Stop-profit and stop-loss system. Whether it is a fixed stop-profit and stop-loss, a moving stop-profit and stop-loss, or a method of getting rich quickly/jumping off a building. You must have your own method. Especially stop-loss, which is a safety belt for life and can save your life at a critical moment. If you have unlimited funds, just ignore what I said.

Some people take a retracement x% stop-profit and a fall below the cost x% stop-loss. Some people stop-loss when the position is blown up.

In short, in this circle, living long is the king. I have seen many genius traders return in the previous second, and blow up in the next second. They said they were going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, but they didn't take the stairs or the elevator.

4. Fund management system. Either a light position trial and error method, a heavy position hard hair, or a full-handed method. No matter what method, choose it according to your own situation.

5. Emotional management. How much pressure can you bear after opening a position? Or what methods do you use to relieve stress? Some people run, some play games, some masturbate, some sleep, and some have sex.

Basically, the more you stare at the market, the more scared you become, and you always feel like you'll be done for in the next second. So, out of sight, out of mind.

In summary, the trading system is cognition, the unity of knowledge and action. There is nothing mysterious about it.
