Contract trading is essentially about following the trend and being quick in and out. Only by mastering the timing and having a clear plan can one gain an advantage in the market. Below are the seven key time nodes summarized from Brother Qiang's years of experience; I hope they inspire you.
1. Morning: Watch the trend
Morning is the start of the trading day. Use 4-hour, 6-hour, 12-hour, and daily candlestick analysis to identify support and resistance levels, and combine with indicators such as MACD, KDJ, BOLL, volume, and moving averages to comprehensively assess the intraday direction and clarify your trading plan and strategy.
2. Afternoon: Watch for oscillations
Afternoon trends are mostly oscillating. Based on the candlestick patterns accumulated in the morning, look for high and low buying opportunities within the oscillating range to accurately capture trading opportunities.
3. Afternoon: Watch for upward movements
Afternoon is the active period for major institutions, especially between 16:00-18:00, where there is often rapid upward or downward movement. In such market conditions, either quickly follow the trend or take profit and observe after a quick rise to prevent reverse pullbacks.
4. Evening: Watch for one-sided trends
20:00-24:00 is the peak period for one-sided market trends. Whether there is a sharp rise, sharp fall, or spike, follow the trend and avoid counter-trend operations. When the trend is clear, enter decisively.
5. Late night: Watch the direction
Night 1:00-2:00 is the active period for foreign major players to enter the market, where the market will show more obvious directional trends. At this time, simply choose to go long or short based on the trend direction.
6. Early morning: Watch for tops and bottoms
Early morning 5:00-6:00, after a day of fluctuations and one-sided trends, the market often reaches a temporary peak or bottom. Go short at the top and go long at the bottom; this presents high probability trading opportunities.
7. All day: Watch the short-term
In market fluctuations outside of specific times, you can use 5-minute, 15-minute, and 30-minute candlestick charts to determine short-term directions through MACD, BOLL, KDJ, volume, etc., and trade quickly, taking profit in time.
Avoid blindly over-leveraging
Set a stop loss for every trade to ensure that even if there are losses, they remain within an acceptable range.
Maintain patience and operate in accordance with the trend
When the trend is unclear, it is better to wait; enter decisively after the direction is clear.
Having a plan is essential for steady profits
Be clear about your trading objectives; do not solely chase high profits. Surviving is the key!
