Trading short-term, the most critical aspect is not prediction, but whether you are fast enough and decisive enough.

My rhythm is allocated as follows—70% of the time watching the market, observing every move, and the remaining 30% is the actual moment to act. Just like hunting, you don't shoot every moment, but wait until the volatility amplifies and the trend begins to emerge before pulling the trigger.

The tools are quite simple: 1-hour and 4-hour candlestick charts are used to identify short-term trends, and volume is the best signal validator—those price surges with no volume are often traps, happening eight out of ten times.

Before each trade, I write down three numbers on paper: where to enter, where to cut losses, and how much I expect to earn. Without this paper, I wouldn't dare to touch the keyboard with my fingers.

I set a strict rule for myself: if the market doesn't follow the pattern within three seconds, grit my teeth and wait until the eighth second; if still no sign of change, exit immediately. It sounds cruel, but this is the secret to surviving longer.

Short-term profits are inherently accumulative. The most fatal mistake is trying to reverse a loss with revenge trading and adding positions. Such endings usually wipe out all the hard-earned gains. Truly mature traders have long understood—perfect execution is always more valuable than perfect ideas. Market opportunities are everywhere every day, but your capital only has one chance.
