1. Focus on a single indicator: EMA moving averages


Set EMA21 and EMA55—EMA21 for short-term trend, EMA55 for medium to long-term. When they cross upward, go long; when they cross downward, go short. Don’t be greedy! I used to add other indicators, but they only interfered with my judgment. Now I only watch these two, and the strategy is very clear.
2. Enter only at key levels on the 4-hour chart
Ignore smaller timeframes! On the 4-hour chart, when EMA21 crosses above EMA55 and the candlestick closes bullish, open a long position; when EMA21 crosses below EMA55 and the candlestick closes bearish, open a short position. Avoid trading during sideways consolidation to prevent unnecessary stop-loss hits.
3. Always set a stop-loss, never hold through losses
Place the stop-loss at the high or low of the previous 4-hour candle to ensure losses do not exceed 5% of your capital. I used to hold through losses and lost 20%, but now I strictly follow stop-loss rules and haven’t had a big setback since.
4. "Rolling position and adding" to let profits run
Start with only 5% of your capital. When profit reaches 5%, add another 5%; continue adding at each 5% profit until EMA signals a reversal again. This way, you protect your core position profits and maximize trend gains.
Finally, be honest: don’t aim to win every trade; missing out is better than making mistakes. Limit yourself to 1-2 trades per day, avoid frequent trading. Trust your strategy, stick to discipline—that’s more important than anything else.
