Futures Actual Combat Masters’ Training Methods! Rely On These Five Abilities To Capture Profit Opportunities

Why can’t I always find the best buying and selling point?

Many friends who are engaged in futures have this experience: when an intraday opportunity appears, there is often only a few minutes or even tens of seconds to make a decision. If there is a slight hesitation, the market price will disappear.

When I came back to my senses, I was either chasing the high or missing.

This is actually not a matter of luck, but the lack of a systematic ability to capture opportunities.

Not relying on intuition, but relying on the five abilities that have been systematically trained to deal with the ever-changing market, can you become a truly mature trader.

From a practical perspective, today, we will talk about how to cultivate these abilities and help you quickly identify those profit opportunities that disappear in an instant.

Pre-market preparation: overall study and judgment of external markets and trends

Before the market opens every day, the first thing to do is not to rush to place an order, but to check the external market trend first.

This is not simply "following the trend", but understanding the mood and direction of the international market.

At the beginning, you need to focus on whether the first transaction is carried out normally in the external market. If there are unusual fluctuations or obvious price gaps, after the first transaction in the country, you must first start to observe instead of rushing into the market.

Next, you need to analyze the daily and weekly levels of the varieties you are paying attention to. trend position .

The key is to determine whether the price is in the main rising waves, that is, the first, third, and fifth waves, or in the corrective waves, that is, the second and fourth waves.

If it is in a main uptrend, then the idea should be to buy during the pullback as the main direction; if it is in a downtrend, it is often safer to go short when it rebounds.

At the same time, with the help of the 20-day moving average, it is regarded as the watershed between long and short. The price is above the moving average, and bullish thoughts dominate. Below, short thoughts are used to deal with it.

This step is like a sand table deduction before the start of the battle. Once the direction is correct, subsequent operations can avoid deviation from the route.

Intraday reaction: Quick identification of K-line combination and capital flow direction

After the market opens, the dynamic market changes rapidly.

At this point, you need to be able to quickly identify K line pattern and Fund flow ability.

When the market suddenly starts, don't look at the time-sharing chart, because it is too lagging. Switch directly to the 10-minute K-line chart, or the 15-minute K-line chart, or the 30-minute K-line chart.

What needs to be observed now is whether the K-line combination at this time is a reversal form, such as a morning star and an evening star, or a continuous form, such as a rising flag or a descending triangle.

If it is confirmed that a breakthrough has been initiated, you can follow up decisively.

At the same time, it is necessary to pay close attention to the changes in open positions: in the early stage of the market, there will be a large increase in positions. Generally speaking, this is caused by the initiative of funds. In this case, operations can be carried out according to the trend; however, if when the price rises rapidly, the open positions begin to show a decreasing trend, then you must be vigilant. This may be because the bulls have chosen to settle after making profits. At this time, it is not suitable to chase high purchases.

In addition, there is a classic law of strength: when you are determined to make a long operation, you must choose the trading variety with the strongest performance and the largest position in the market and the corresponding month; and when you implement a short operation, choose the weakest one.

Review training: hone your trading sense from static charts

Many people turn off the software after the market closes, which actually wastes the most important opportunity for improvement.

Real experts will take the time to review.

The purpose is to review the market, within the static chart, to once again scrutinize the trivial details that were not considered at the time of the dynamic tracking throughout the day.

How to do it specifically?

First, browse the daily trends of various varieties, find out the varieties that have a relatively large rise or fall on that day, and then analyze the real reasons for their strength or weakness for these varieties.

Secondly, for the varieties that you are concerned about, you need to know in detail the meaning behind the opening price, closing price, highest price and lowest price of the day, especially when there are abnormal fluctuations in the market, the corresponding subtle relationship between volume and price.

Then, extend the cycle and check the weekly and monthly lines to understand the intentions and operating status of the main funds on a larger time scale.

Finally, and the most critical step is to formulate a trading plan for the next day based on the opportunities detected through review.

This plan needs to be clear to this extent: under what circumstances the entry operation will be carried out, where the entry area is, how many positions there are, and where the stop loss is set.

If you repeatedly carry out such training, your disc sense will change from the original fuzzy state to a clear state, and your reaction speed will also be greatly improved.

Mentality control: the ability to transform analysis into stable and profitable operations

No matter how strong your analytical skills are, if they cannot be translated into actual operations, everything will be naught.

The biggest obstacle that hinders the transformation of analysis into operations is psychological stress .

When watching the market without holding a position, everyone becomes an "analyst" who is in a state of giving guidance. However, once a position is held, psychological pressure will follow whenever the price fluctuates by even a single point. This kind of pressure can easily affect judgment.

To solve this problem, the most effective way is to formulate and strictly implement Trading plan .

The plan must not only include entry conditions, but also a clear exit mechanism.

For example, if you plan to buy at a certain support level and set a stop loss point at the same time, then when the price reaches it, you will execute it according to the plan without hesitation or taking chances.

Many traders, who have made some small profits, are unable to hold on when holding orders, but when they suffer losses, they stubbornly stick to it. This situation is completely reversed.

Remember, when the market shows a favorable trend, you need to be accustomed to promoting continuous profit growth; when the market proves that you are wrong, you must implement stop loss operations at the earliest moment.

The pursuit of doing things "right" is more important than simply thinking about making money and losing money.

Summarize

The core is futures trading, which requires the use of a set of standardized processes to transform complex market information into simple, repeatable, and executable operations.

Before the market opens, accurately analyze the trend and respond quickly during the market. After the market closes, carry out detailed review training until you can resolutely and strictly implement the market at the mental level. These five abilities are closely connected and nothing is possible without any one of them.

Rather than chasing rising prices and selling in the market every day, it is better to calm down and cultivate your core capabilities in a systematic way.

When your ability range can fully cover the fluctuations in the market, those opportunities that disappear in an instant will naturally turn into stable profits in your account.
