1. Overview

What it is: A self-published trading philosophy manual by Wang Zhe, a Chinese futures/commodity speculator with 10+ years of experience. The book distills his complete trading system across two major sections: a Cognition Section (认知篇, Chapters 1-4) covering trading philosophy and mental models, and a System Section (系统篇, Chapters 5-16) detailing his exact trading methodology.

Core thesis: The difficulty of trading lies not in execution but in cognition. Once your understanding is deep enough, discipline becomes instinctive. Market regularity stems from unchanging human nature (市场的规律性源于不变的人性). Profitable speculation requires executing a deterministic system with positive expectancy in an unpredictable market.

Applicable markets: Primarily futures/commodities (the author trades futures with leverage), but the framework applies to any liquid, chart-tradable market — stocks, forex, crypto. The author explicitly requires sufficient liquidity and recommends trading only lead contracts in their sector.

Trading style: Pure technical analysis / chart trading. Fundamental analysis contributes zero to his system. He is a speculator (投机者), not an investor. His primary timeframe is the daily chart, targeting daily-level swing moves (日线波段行情).

Author's motto: "市场的规律性源于不变的人性" — The regularity of markets stems from unchanging human nature.

---

2. Core Philosophy — Cognition Over Execution

Wang Zhe's most distinctive contribution is his insistence that all "execution problems" are actually cognition problems in disguise.

Key Principles

1. Cognition before discipline: You would not grab a red-hot iron with your bare hands — not because you have great discipline, but because you know it will burn you. Trading works the same way. When you truly understand that a wrong trade is equivalent to putting yourself on fire, you will stop doing it naturally.

2. The market is unpredictable: It is a multi-player game where every participant's actions affect the outcome. Prediction-based profits are unsustainable and breed ego. The only thing you can control is whether you are following your system.

3. The market has patterns: Despite being unpredictable on any single trade, price action follows a repeating cycle: Trend leg → Pullback → Trend leg → Pullback (单边——回调——单边——回调). All profitable systems are built on this rhythm.

4. Human nature drives markets: Greed and fear are the true engines behind price movement, not value. Tulip mania, the South Sea bubble — all products of human nature. As Livermore said, human nature is as old as the mountains.

5. Without emotions, we cannot make money: We profit precisely because others continuously make emotional errors. This is our opportunity.

6. Win-rate vs. profit-loss ratio: Most traders obsess over win rate because society teaches us to worship victory and avoid admitting failure. This is fatal in trading. The key formula is:

   Trading Result = Win Rate x Profit-Loss Ratio
   

   Profit-loss ratio (盈亏比) matters far more than win rate. A 40% win rate with a 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio is highly profitable. A 90% win rate with 1:10 reward-to-risk is ruinous.

7. Lock your timeframe: "定周期者，定天下" — He who locks his timeframe commands the world. Different timeframes show different trends simultaneously. Switching between timeframes creates confusion. Pick one and stay with it.

---

3. Market Model — The Unbreakable Rhythm

The foundational market model is:

单边 → 回调 → 单边 → 回调
Trend Leg → Pullback → Trend Leg → Pullback

This cycle repeats endlessly across all timeframes. The entire system is designed to:

1. Wait for a pullback to complete
2. Enter when the trend leg resumes
3. Ride the trend leg
4. Exit before or when the next pullback begins

Critical rule: 无回调，不开仓 — No pullback, no position. Even if the market is moving explosively, if there has been no pullback on your timeframe, you must stand aside. You refuse to be a "bag holder" (接盘侠).

---

4. Core Methodology — The FEST Framework

Wang Zhe summarizes his system-building methodology as FEST:

Component	Chinese	Description
F — Filter	过滤条件	Conditions that must be met before you even consider trading
E — Entry	开仓	Specific price levels and triggers for position building
S — Stop	止损	Defense points — where you admit you are wrong
T — Target	目标位	Profit targets or trailing stop logic for exits

Plus the soul of the system: Money Management (资金管理).

A FEST example the author provides:

• Filter: Hammer candle + price above MA + double-bottom structure
• Entry: Neckline break of the double bottom
• Stop: Below the hammer candle low
• Target: Neckline of an M-top formation above

---

5. Filter Rules — What to Trade and What to Skip

Trend Filter

• The instrument must show a clear trend on the daily chart. If the market is in obvious consolidation/chop, wait.
• Only trade in the direction of the 5-day MA on the daily chart.

20-MA Filter (Primary Filter)

• For long trades: price must be above the 20 MA. If price is compressed below 5 MA and 20 MA, do not consider longs.
• For short trades: price must be below the 20 MA. If price is running above the 20 MA, do not consider shorts.
• The end of a pullback is signaled when the 5 MA turns and recrosses above (or below) the 20 MA.

Pullback Requirement

• The instrument must have produced a recognizable pullback (回调). Instruments in continuous one-way moves without pullbacks are watchlist items only — you wait for the pullback to appear.
• When a pullback appears, add the instrument to your focused watchlist.

Liquidity Filter

• Only trade instruments with sufficient liquidity (for futures: the lead/active contract with high open interest and volume).
• In any sector, trade only the leader — avoid illiquid minor contracts.
• Limit the number of instruments you follow simultaneously. Concentration beats diversification for a speculator.

Smooth/Flowing Move Requirement

• The target move must be "flowing" (流畅): a one-way move that does not look back, like an arrow leaving the bow, like a dam breaking.
• Repeated, choppy pullbacks signal that this is NOT your trade. Step aside.

6. Entry Rules — Attack Points and Detonation Points

The Attack Point (进攻点 / 攻击点)

Entry always occurs at attack points, which are the inflection points where a pullback ends and the trend resumes. Every position must be opened at an attack point.

Two possible outcomes at an attack point:

1. Victory — the trend resumes and you profit
2. Stop-loss hit — you exit with a small, predetermined loss

The author calls this: "亮剑必见血" — When you draw your sword, blood will flow. Either theirs or yours.

Detonation Points (炸点) — The ABC Scaling System

Detonation points are specific price levels derived from the left-side (pullback) structure. They are the previous swing highs (A, B, C) from the pullback phase that become resistance-turned-support levels.

Identification:

1. During the pullback (left side), identify the key swing highs: A (lowest), B (middle), C (highest)
2. When the pullback trendline breaks (entering the right side), these levels become your detonation points
3. Place conditional buy orders at each level

Scaling-in process:

1. Point A triggered → First position opened + stop-loss placed (wider stop, as this is the "test" position with low certainty)
2. Point B triggered → Second position opened + stop-loss for A position tightened upward to match B's stop
3. Point C triggered → Third position opened + all stop-losses unified and raised to breakeven or higher

Ideal scenario — Chain Detonation (连环炸): When A, B, and C trigger in rapid succession (ideally within the same daily candle), this produces the Decisive K-line (定K). Chain detonation means the move is powerful and flowing — exactly what you want.

Non-ideal scenario: If only A triggers and then price reverses to hit your stop, you take the loss and wait. Your position was small (only 1/3), so the damage is minimal.

---

7. Right-Side Trading — Never Trade the Left Side

Wang Zhe is an absolute right-side / breakout trader.

Definitions

• Left side (左侧): The pullback phase. During an uptrend, this is the declining/corrective portion. Trading here means buying into falling prices — this is forbidden.
• Right side (右侧): The phase after the pullback trendline breaks and price resumes the main trend direction. All trading occurs here.

Rules

• During the left side (pullback in progress), do nothing. Wait patiently. "耐心等待，按兵不动" — Wait patiently, hold your troops still.
• The signal that the pullback is ending: the descending trendline connecting the pullback's swing highs is broken.
• Only after this trendline break do you begin looking for detonation points.
• Even if you see a profitable opportunity in the left side, you must let it go. It does not belong to your system.

Scaling Direction

• In a long trade: buy more as price rises (越涨越买) — add at B after A, add at C after B
• In a short trade: sell more as price falls (越跌越卖)
• This is counter-intuitive but essential: if the market proves you right, increase exposure; do not take profits prematurely

---

8. The Decisive K-Line (Ding-K / 定K)

When chain detonation occurs (A, B, C all triggered rapidly), a landmark daily candle forms — the Decisive K (定K).

Characteristics:

• Large-bodied candle in the trend direction
• Represents the exhaustion of counter-trend forces and the resurgence of trend forces
• All position building is completed within this candle
• Signals that the battle is half-won

Significance: The appearance of a Ding-K means your full position has been established and the move has shown its explosive character. From this point, the focus shifts from entry to holding and defense.

---

9. Exit / Stop-Loss Rules — Defense Points

Stop-Loss Philosophy

• Stop-loss is like car insurance: you buy it every time you drive, hoping never to use it. If you never need to claim, that does not mean the insurance was wasted.
• Stop-loss placement must invalidate your entry logic. If the stop is hit but your entry thesis is still intact, the stop was poorly placed and the loss was meaningless.
• Never hold a losing position hoping for a reversal. "打掉止损，在场外等待即可" — Hit the stop, wait on the sidelines.

Three Stop-Loss Strategies

Strategy 1: Swing High/Low Defense (高低点防守策略)

Based on Dow Theory: uptrend = higher highs and higher lows; downtrend = lower lows and lower highs.

• Long trade: Place stop below the most recent swing low before your entry. In an uptrend, lows should keep rising. If the previous low is broken, the uptrend assumption is invalidated.
• Short trade: Place stop above the most recent swing high.

Strategy 2: Support/Resistance Level Defense (支撑压力位防守策略)

When your entry logic is based on a breakout of support/resistance:

• First attack point (support holds, pullback ends, turn upward): Place defense point below the support level. If price reverses and breaks the support, exit — the logic is negated.
• Second attack point (resistance broken, pullback to resistance-turned-support, turn upward): Place defense point below the former resistance (now support). If price falls back below, exit.

Strategy 3: Round Number Defense (整数关口防守策略)

Round numbers act as natural support/resistance. Same logic as Strategy 2, substituting round numbers for S/R levels.

Stop-Loss Adjustment During Scaling

• At Point A entry: wider stop (uncertainty is high, this is a probe/test)
• At Point B entry: tighten A's stop up to match B's stop level
• At Point C entry: unify all stops — can place at breakeven (average cost of all three positions)
• After chain detonation: stop at breakeven = "invincible position" — worst case is a flat exit

---

10. Holding and Profit-Taking

Holding and exiting are two sides of the same coin. Wang Zhe divides exits into:

Active Exit (主动离场)

• Based on your trading plan, exit when price reaches your pre-defined target
• Typically occurs near major support/resistance levels
• Requires subjective judgment

Passive Exit (被动离场) — Trailing Stops

Four methods, all based on the K-breaks-K (K破K) principle:

Method 1: K-breaks-K (K破K)

• In an uptrend, hold as long as each candle's low is not broken by the next candle
• If the current candle breaks below the previous candle's low, exit
• Most mechanical and easy to execute
• Suitable for capturing short, sharp moves

Method 2: Break of Trendline (破趋势线)

• Draw a trendline along the pullback lows of the trending move
• Exit when price breaks this trendline
• Requires experiencing at least one pullback to draw the line
• Good for capturing medium-term moves

Method 3: Break of Moving Average (破均线)

• For daily swing trades, the 5 MA is recommended
• If price closes below the 5 MA (for longs), exit
• Using 20 MA gives longer holding period but more profit giveback
• Choose one MA and stick with it consistently

Method 4: Break of Platform (破平台)

• In uptrend: use platform lows as trailing stop reference
• In downtrend: use platform highs
• Allows capturing large trend moves but requires extreme patience
• Most suitable for trend followers

Key principle: All four methods are applications of K-breaks-K at different scales. Holding is critical because it is the mechanism for "letting profits run" (让利润奔跑). If you cannot hold winning trades, you cannot achieve a favorable profit-loss ratio.

11. Position Sizing — Fixed-Loss Quantity Method

Single-Trade Risk (单笔风险度)

• Define a fixed percentage of account equity as the maximum loss per trade
• Large accounts: 0.3% to 0.5% of equity per trade
• Small accounts: 1% to 3% of equity per trade

The Formula: Fixed-Loss Quantity (以损定量)

Max Position Size = Total Risk Amount / Per-Unit Stop Distance

Example:

• Account: 1,000,000 CNY
• Single-trade risk: 0.3% = 3,000 CNY
• Stop distance per contract: 300 CNY
• Max position: 3,000 / 300 = 10 contracts

Splitting Across Detonation Points

If building in 3 batches (A, B, C), divide total risk equally:

• A point: 1,000 CNY risk budget → calculate lot size for A's stop distance
• B point: 1,000 CNY risk budget → calculate lot size for B's stop distance
• C point: 1,000 CNY risk budget → calculate lot size for C's stop distance

Critical: As stops tighten (moved up when B and C trigger), the allowable position size per batch may increase. Tighter stops with the same risk budget = more contracts. This naturally creates a pyramid: small position at the uncertain beginning, larger position as the trend confirms.

Warnings

• Never expand your single-trade risk to boost aggressiveness — this is a double-edged sword
• Never artificially shrink your stop distance to take larger positions
• "慢就是快，少即是多" — Slow is fast, less is more
• Profit is a function of time; do not rush it

---

12. Risk Management

Account-Level Rules

• The single-trade risk percentage is absolute — no trade may exceed it
• The combined risk of all sub-entries (A + B + C) must not exceed the single-trade risk budget
• If the sum of stop losses across your batches exceeds your risk budget, you must reduce position size

Drawdown Philosophy

• Assume every trade will lose: "这一笔开仓我一定会亏" — mindset when opening any position
• This naturally prevents oversized positions and eliminates the temptation to go all-in
• "分批建仓" (batch position building) only makes sense when you assume each batch could be your last

Portfolio Controls

• Focus on few instruments, not many
• "无所不备，则无所不寡" (Sun Tzu) — When you try to be strong everywhere, you are strong nowhere
• The more instruments you watch simultaneously, the more enemies you face, and the higher your probability of being destroyed

Compounding (复利)

• Compounding is position size naturally growing as the account grows: 5 lots → 8 → 15 → 30
• Do not chase once-in-a-lifetime opportunities; compound through small victories
• "积小胜为大胜" — Accumulate small wins into large victories, like a snowball

13. Behavioral / Discipline Rules

1. Treat trading as a profession: You are a cold-blooded executioner in the market. Your job is to exploit the mistakes of the weak and the novice. Can you do this?

2. No emotions about individual trades: If you are excited about winning and sad about losing, you are still a beginner. Maturity means indifference to individual outcomes.

3. Never bottom-pick or top-call: Bottoms and tops occur only once — the probability of catching them is near zero. This is a rookie mistake that professionals must never commit.

4. If you realize you violated your system mid-trade, exit immediately: Even if the trade is profitable, it is poison. Profit from rule-breaking is worse than loss from rule-breaking, because it corrodes your discipline.

5. Losses are the cost of doing business: All big moves are found through trial and error (试错). Losses during probing are simply the cost of catching the next big move. Do not let a single bad trial injure you — keep trial size small.

6. Trading is boring by design: "枯燥且单调地慢慢赚钱" — Dry, monotonous, slow money-making. If your trading is exciting, you are doing it wrong.

7. Patience is the primary virtue: Most of the time you should be doing nothing. "趴着不动，耐心等待着猎物的出现" — Lie still, patiently waiting for prey to appear.

8. Never cross timeframes: If you enter on the daily chart, exit on the daily chart. Do not enter on a daily signal and then switch to a weekly holding standard.

9. The trend is your friend: "顺势者昌，逆势者亡" — Those who follow the trend prosper; those who fight it perish. When you are with the trend, time is your friend. When against it, time is your gravedigger.

---

14. Common Mistakes

1. Obsessing over win rate instead of profit-loss ratio: The single most common mistake. Trading is a math game of win rate AND profit-loss ratio, not win rate alone.

2. Refusing to take losses: Driven by ego and the need to be "right," traders hold losing positions hoping for a reversal. This leads to catastrophic losses or margin calls.

3. Trading without a pullback: Chasing momentum, buying into the middle of a trend leg without waiting for a pullback. This makes you a potential bag-holder.

4. Left-side trading: Buying into falling prices during a pullback, trying to catch the exact bottom. The system explicitly forbids this.

5. Switching timeframes: Entering on a daily signal but holding for a weekly target, or vice versa. This creates logical inconsistency.

6. Overtrading: Smaller timeframes produce more signals and more trades. More trades ≠ more profit. Often it means more losses.

7. Expanding risk per trade for "aggressiveness": Increasing the single-trade risk percentage or shrinking stops to take larger positions. This inevitably leads to overtrading and ruin.

8. Trading too many instruments: Attention is finite. Spreading across too many markets reduces your effectiveness at each.

9. Taking profits too early: Having a tiny gain and immediately closing. This destroys profit-loss ratio and makes the system non-viable.

10. Prediction addiction: Trying to forecast what the market will do instead of reacting to what it does. The market is unknowable — your only job is to execute your system.

11. Profiting from rule-breaking: If a rule-violating trade makes money, the trader learns the wrong lesson. This is more dangerous than losing from rule-breaking, because it erodes the entire system.

15. Complete Trade Lifecycle Example

Setup: Trading soybean futures, daily chart. Account equity: 1,000,000 CNY. Single-trade risk: 0.3% = 3,000 CNY.

Phase 1: Watchlist Scan

• Soybeans has been in a clear uptrend on the daily chart (above 20 MA, higher highs and higher lows)
• Price begins pulling back — the 5 MA crosses below the 20 MA
• Instrument added to focused watchlist. No action taken yet.

Phase 2: Pullback Analysis (Left Side)

• Pullback forms a descending channel with swing highs at:
  • Point C (highest): 5,200
  • Point B (middle): 5,150
  • Point A (lowest): 5,100
• Descending trendline drawn connecting swing highs
• Wait patiently. Do nothing.

Phase 3: Right-Side Entry Signal

• Price breaks above the descending trendline
• The 5 MA turns upward and crosses back above the 20 MA
• Price is now above the 20 MA: filter conditions satisfied
• Place conditional orders:
  • Buy 3 lots at 5,100 (Point A), stop-loss at 5,000 (swing low defense, 100 points = 300 CNY/lot)
  • Buy 4 lots at 5,150 (Point B), stop-loss at 5,080 (70 points = 280 CNY/lot, tighter)
  • Buy 3 lots at 5,200 (Point C), stop-loss at 5,130 (70 points = 210 CNY/lot)
  • Risk at A: 3 x 300 = 900 CNY
  • Risk at B: 4 x 280 = 1,120 CNY
  • Risk at C: 3 x 210 = 630 CNY
  • Total risk: 2,650 CNY < 3,000 CNY budget. Acceptable.

Phase 4: Execution

• Day 1: Price rallies to 5,100 → A triggers. 3 lots bought at 5,100, stop at 5,000.
• Day 1 (same candle): Price continues to 5,150 → B triggers. 4 lots bought at 5,150. A's stop raised from 5,000 to 5,080 (matching B's stop).
• Day 1 (same candle): Price hits 5,200 → C triggers. 3 lots bought at 5,200. All stops unified at 5,130.
  • Chain detonation achieved! Large bullish candle = Decisive K (定K).
  • Full position: 10 lots. Average cost: ~5,155.
  • Unified stop at 5,130 = 25 points from average cost = 250 CNY total risk (breakeven territory).

Phase 5: Holding

• Using 5 MA trailing stop method
• Day 2: Price at 5,280. 5 MA at 5,150. Hold.
• Day 5: Price at 5,400. 5 MA at 5,300. Hold.
• Day 8: Price at 5,500. 5 MA at 5,420. Hold.
• Day 10: Price closes at 5,380, below 5 MA (5,410). Trailing stop triggered.

Phase 6: Exit

• Close all 10 lots at 5,380.
• Profit per lot: 5,380 - 5,155 (avg) = 225 points
• Total profit: 10 x 225 x (unit multiplier) = substantial gain
• Risk was 3,000 CNY max; reward was multiple times that → profit-loss ratio well above 3:1

State Machine Overview

States:
    SCANNING    → monitoring watchlist for pullback candidates
    WATCHING    → pullback identified, waiting for trendline break
    ARMED       → right-side entered, conditional orders placed at ABC
    BUILDING    → A triggered, waiting for B and C (or stop)
    FULL        → chain detonation complete, all positions built
    HOLDING     → trailing stop active, riding the trend
    FLAT        → position closed, return to SCANNING

Transitions:
    SCANNING  → WATCHING  : pullback appears on daily chart
    WATCHING  → ARMED     : pullback trendline broken, 5MA > 20MA
    ARMED     → BUILDING  : Point A triggered
    BUILDING  → FULL      : Points B and C triggered (chain detonation)
    BUILDING  → FLAT      : Stop-loss hit before B triggers
    FULL      → HOLDING   : Ding-K formed, shift to trailing stop mode
    HOLDING   → FLAT      : Trailing stop triggered
    any state → FLAT      : Emergency stop / rule violation detected
