The Core Thinking of Short-term Trading: Game Theory

In short-term trading, the most essential and core aspect is the game, which is the principle of short-term trading. If you understand this essence, you will see the opponents in the game and think about how to observe them, how to engage with them, and accordingly formulate the relevant rules. Even if your rules are not yet established, you have a correct direction; you just need to spend time and effort to complete the corresponding strategies or rules. This is what is meant by 'having principles but no techniques; techniques can be sought after.'

However, if you do not understand the essence of market game theory and try to combine some indicators to formulate a strategy, then seek ways to optimize parameters, determine which indicators are better, and how to combine those indicators while ignoring the opponents in the game, then no matter how much time and effort you invest, you will be going nowhere. This is what is meant by 'having techniques but no principles, and thus stopping at techniques.'

Therefore, for short-term trading, the top understanding of the market and the most important thinking is 'game theory thinking,' so you must know the opponents behind the price movements!

If you can understand this thinking, then when you see some so-called short-term experts giving you trading strategies, where they only tell you to use a certain combination of indicators in a specific period or explain the use of an indicator or a rule to cope with all market conditions, you should realize that such a trading method overlooks the essence of trading and neglects the opponents we have to face. Therefore, merely focusing on formulating a set of rules to handle all situations to defeat opponents will lead to predictable results! #交易秘籍 #交易认知
