In stock investing, which do you think is more important: skill or luck?

When I first entered the stock market, I always thought that making money depended on luck. Seeing other people's stocks rise, I also started frequently chasing hot stocks, always feeling that the next stock to double in value would be my turn. I did make money by luck a few times, but I quickly lost all my profits due to impulsive trading.

Later, I gradually realized that luck can only determine short-term results. What truly determines whether you can stay in the market in the long run is skill and discipline.

I remember once, I made a plan in advance, patiently waiting for a stock to break through a key resistance level before entering the market, while strictly setting a stop loss. That trade didn't result in a meteoric rise, but the process was remarkably steady, and I ultimately exited with a successful profit. That was the first time I realized that consistent profits don't come from guessing market trends correctly, but from following the right procedures.

Luck certainly plays a role in the market; there are times when you might make money simply by buying a stock at random. However, without risk management and a stable trading system, luck will eventually be taken back by the market.

Over the years, I've come to believe more and more that what truly matters in trading isn't how much you make in the short term, but whether you have a method that you can consistently execute over the long term. Skill determines the lower limit, discipline determines the upper limit, and luck is only a part of the process.

Ten Years of Stock Market Investing Experience: The Road to a Million Dollars,Sharing My Successful Investment Strategies

After 10 years of investing in the stock market, my investment portfolio has reached the $1 million mark.

Without pride, I understand that this is merely the first milestone on my life's journey.

I will explain my method in the order of the pictures.

1:When prices stabilize above the 50MA/200MA and form a golden cross, it indicates that the market is in a healthy upward cycle, and holding positions in this environment increases the probability of success.

2:Consider entering the market only when the price retraces to a key moving average (such as the 50MA). A pullback with reduced volume and a subsequent rebound indicates that funds are still available, making it a lower-risk entry point.

3:After consolidating at a high level, a breakout with increased volume often signifies that the trend is entering an acceleration phase. In such cases, it is advisable to follow the trend rather than chasing the rally out of fear.

4:We adopt a phased approach, allocating 30% → 30% → 40% in batches. We first test the waters to confirm the trend, and then gradually increase our positions, thereby maximizing profit potential while controlling risk.

5:Profits come from holding the trend; continue holding as long as the price does not fall below key moving averages or structural lows; once it does fall below, implement a 5%–8% stop-loss to avoid drawdowns.

Recap: Returns stem from repeating the right processes, not from chasing the perfect trade.

I constantly engaged in trial and error, repeatedly validating my strategies.

This is just one part of my work, and if you are interested in how I do it, I'd love to discuss it with you!

What should every novice stock investor learn first?

When I first started investing in stocks, I thought the most important thing for beginners to learn was how to make money quickly. So I frantically studied indicators, chased hot stocks, and watched all sorts of so-called expert strategies. At that time, I thought that as long as I found the right method, I could make a stable profit.

Reality quickly brought me to my senses. The true reason I lost money wasn't that I lacked the ability to pick stocks; it was that I completely lacked an understanding of risk management.

I remember once, I heavily invested in a small-cap stock that was rising rapidly. At the time, I was very confident that it would continue to rise. The very next day, however, market sentiment soured; the stock gapped down at the open and began to slide. I didn't set a stop loss and kept comforting myself that "it will rebound," but in the end, my losses kept getting bigger and bigger.

That experience made me realize for the first time that the most important thing for new traders to learn is not how to attack, but how to survive.

Subsequently, I began to shift my approach. Instead of rushing to find opportunities for huge profits, I first learned position management, stop-loss discipline, and how to wait for high-probability opportunities. I gradually realized that trading is not about who is smarter, but about who is more stable.

Over the years, I have come to believe more and more that truly excellent traders are not those who trade the most every day, but those who can control risk and execute their systems consistently over the long term.

So if I were to give advice to new traders, I would say: learn to protect your principal first, then think about making money. Only by staying in the market can you have the chance to wait for the opportunity that truly belongs to you.

What are your rules for not trading in the stock market?

Over the years of investing in stocks, I've found that what truly helps me reduce losses isn't finding amazing strategies, but rather establishing a set of no-trading rules.

In the beginning, I traded almost every day. Whenever I see stock price fluctuations, I can't help but want to buy in; I always feel it would be a pity to miss the opportunity. As a result, many trades lacked a clear logic and were driven solely by emotions.

I remember one time, after suffering consecutive losses, I really wanted to "make a comeback," so I impulsively bought into a small-cap stock that was rising rapidly. As a result, it fell from its high that day, and my losses were even more severe than before.

After that incident, I started setting rules for myself. For example: do not trade without a clear trend, do not trade with insufficient trading volume, do not trade when you are in a bad mood, take a break after consecutive losses, and most importantly: never trade if you do not understand the market.

Many losses are not because the market is too difficult, but because you always feel that "I must do something". But in fact, holding no positions is sometimes a form of trading.

I now prefer to wait for opportunities that truly fit my system, rather than trading for the sake of trading. I used to feel anxious about missing out on market moves; now, however, I realize that missing a single opportunity is not frightening at all. What is truly frightening is making the wrong decision at the wrong time.

Trading is not just about knowing when to buy, but more importantly, knowing when not to act. Those who consistently generate stable profits are often not the ones who trade the most, but rather the ones who best know how to control themselves.

I compiled all my trading strategies and parameters into a clear and easy-to-understand guide and put it in a folder. I am happy to share this guide with anyone who finds it useful.

Trading is not about prediction, but execution: A summary of my practical methods

My strategy in the trading markets is highly streamlined; I focus solely on establishing a repeatable process, primarily tailored for trading low-priced stocks. The small-cap stock market is noisy, but the "scan-build-execute" process can effectively improve discipline.

My core idea is shown in the diagram:

Building a bottom: Focus only on stocks in a consolidation phase, which is usually accompanied by low volatility and low trading volume. I will not enter the market prematurely unless a clear bottoming pattern has formed.

Breakout and pullback: Patiently wait for a breakout with increased volume at the key resistance level. If the price subsequently retraces and successfully confirms support (resistance turning into support), this is usually a more probable entry point.

Technical Indicators (Simplified): Only the 10-day and 30-day moving averages are used. When the price rises above the 30-day moving average and finds support at the 10-day moving average, it signals strong underlying trend momentum.

Risk management: Stop-loss orders should always be placed below the breakout level. Low-priced stocks are highly volatile, and once their structure fails, the pullback is often rapid, so risk must be strictly controlled.

Essentially, trading is not about prediction, but about execution and discipline. In the long run, stability comes from consistently and accurately repeating the correct processes.

In terms of investing, I try to keep it simple.

I've been trading stocks for 20 years now, and the reason I haven't been eliminated by the market is because of effective strategies and execution.

Today, I'll list a few high-success-rate patterns that I use repeatedly. In fact, as long as your investment strategy is appropriate, you have the opportunity to create wealth.

Bull Flag Pattern (Figure 1): After a strong upward trend, a slight pullback or sideways consolidation (similar to a "flag") presents a good entry point. Once the consolidation phase concludes and the price breaks upward through the upper boundary of the flag, it usually signals a continuation of the original bullish trend.

Cup and handle pattern (Figure 2): First, a rounded bottom is formed, then a slight pullback occurs before buying stocks. A breakout above the resistance level, accompanied by increased trading volume, often marks the beginning of an accelerated upward rally.

Double bottom pattern (Figure 3): The stock price tests the support level twice to form a "W" structure. After the bears weaken, the reversal is confirmed, and the price turns from falling to rising. You can consider entering the market when the price retraces to the neckline.

Ascending triangle (Figure 4): The highs are pressured but the lows keep rising, indicating increased buying pressure. After the range narrows, a breakout above the resistance level usually leads to a continuous upward trend.

If you use the right methods, even starting with a small amount of capital, you can gradually achieve considerable growth by repeatedly using effective strategies.

You will not become wealthy overnight; please exercise patience.

I have been trading stocks for over a decade now, and I believe that trading is essentially a game of patience disguised as skill.

In the beginning, I tried many methods, and each time one failed, I would switch to another. The losses in the account were like flowing water, almost never stopping.

That changed one day when I observed a small-cap stock that, after consolidating for three weeks, began a slow upward climb. I waited patiently until the price broke through the resistance level, the trading volume increased, and it stabilized when it retraced to the support level before I decided to enter the market. I made that trade successfully. Although the profit wasn't huge, it taught me for the first time the importance of discipline and waiting for the probabilistic advantage.

After that, I applied the same approach to trending stocks like Tesla, Nvidia, and Apple. I adhered to strict stop-loss and trend-following disciplines and found that my account curve began to rise steadily over the long term.

I gradually came to realize that the market does not reward the "smartest" individuals, but rather those who can master their emotions and strictly execute their trading systems. Even when facing drawdowns, I learned to refrain from speculating on market direction, choosing instead to simply follow my own established trading rules.

Thus, my trading today relies neither on luck nor on complex technical indicators, but rather on patience, discipline, and a rigorously validated process. This is the true secret to long-term profitability,and the fundamental reason I have been able to endure and persist in the market.

Just a year ago, I decided to elevate my trading skills to a new level. After a year of slow progress, I realized that if I wanted the account to grow, I had to adopt a new approach.

I used a trend-following strategy, combined with several important technical indicators, mainly the 10-day moving average (blue) and the 30-day moving average (orange). The "Breakout-Pullback" strategy proved to be a decisive factor in my success.

Chart interpretation: The price has broken through the resistance level, which suggests that the price may continue to rise. Following a minor pullback, I entered the market as the price found support at the 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). To control risk, the stop-loss point is set below the 30-day exponential moving average.

By closely tracking market trends and entering at the opportune moment, I was able to capitalize on significant upward surges. The best part is that this strategy can be used repeatedly, even on small-cap stocks.

Success in trading is not achieved through a single lucky decision. The key lies in self-discipline, patience, and always strictly adhering to the trading rules. Only in this way can wealth grow steadily over time. Trading is not about getting rich overnight, but about accumulating wealth through precise daily operations and unwavering self-discipline.

I went through countless trials and adjustments to formulate this system, yet the process of refinement is never truly finished. Let us continue our efforts and constantly optimize our trading strategies together.

As shown in Chart 2, the price has broken through the resistance level, which suggests that the price may continue to rise. After a slight pullback, I entered the market when the price found support at the 10-day exponential moving average. To manage risk, I placed my stop-loss order below the 30-day EMA.

I’ve posted here a few times, but I’ve never systematically shared some truly useful insights. In fact, there are many key factors that can help a trader who has been losing money for a long time gradually grow into someone who can manage money steadily.

I was a beginner once too, and here are a few things I wish I had understood sooner (based on my personal experience):

  1. Trust your stop-loss orders.

If your strategy is proven, stick to your stop-loss orders, instead of arbitrarily adjusting them when you're losing. Many traders, upon encountering a drawdown, fall into the trap of fantasizing that the market will reverse; the result is almost always just larger losses. Losses are part of trading, accept them and move on to the next trade.

  1. Less is more. Most indicators will not actually improve your trading skills. Instead of relying on complex indicators, focus on price action, the underlying structure, and key levels such as support/resistance and moving averages. There is no such thing as a "universal indicator" that works for everything.

  2. Accept small profits. Don't be obsessed with "making big money". Overly pursuing profits will only lead to frequent trading and a loss of discipline. Your task is not to make money every time, but to strictly execute your system. In the long run, consistent execution is the source of profit.

  3. Be patient. Trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme. patience, discipline, and continuous learning are far more important than any specific technical trick or tactic. Learn to accept fluctuations, whether you profit or lose, it's all part of the process.

The market doesn't reward you for your efforts; it only rewards two types of people: those who are disciplined and those who survive long enough.
