Don't Be Too Clever! The 90% Win Rate Comes From?
Most stock market losses come from reckless trading.
One investor, for example, entered the market in 2022, bought a few stocks, and then essentially ignored them likely ending up with some losses or being stuck in positions. Fast forward three years, and when she finally checked their account today, these stocks were actually in profit overall.
The A-share market has mostly been fluctuating with sector rotations over the years, but without buying or selling, you don’t lose money either.
A veteran investor with a 90% win rate over 10 years once said:
“The key to investing is to stop being clever.”
Because even someone as smart as Newton lost money in the markets—this game isn't about IQ, it's about discipline.
Investing should be about sticking to your rules day in and day out: buying low, selling high. Or treat it like saving for retirement—just dollar-cost average into the S&P 500. If you want to appear more professional, you can tailor your investing to market levels: invest less when the market is high, and invest more when it's low.
Our focus should be on identifying long-term trends and let time, not technical tricks, do the rest.

I am mostly someone who looks at the fundamentals rather than technicals. However, I think macro factors are increasingly weighs more than fundamentals for the stock prices. The wars along with Trump’s eccentricity do add to the uncertainty. For good stocks, I would prefer to average down during such times if the price reaches my price target but will also keep a good portion of my cash in case the dip dips further. For HK/ China stocks, once the price rises to my target price, I will take profit as I would rather make a small profit than to end up as a bag holder. Sometimes, I do average down so that it would be easier for me to lock in profit when the price do rise later.

Yes, frequent trading does affect my returns, but sometimes a little trimming helps! [Tongue]

One can never know when is the best price to buy / sell.
Meanwhile, the average people who DCA (dollar cost average) into snp500 index funds are usually the leading winners.
Hold equities only if you are confident with your choices and decisions. [lovely]
