⚠️ 风险提示

交易 involves substantial risk of loss. Most traders lose money. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

You should never trade with money you can't afford to lose, always use proper position sizing and risk management, and thoroughly backtest any strategy before risking capital. The authors are not responsible for trading losses.

📚 Start Here: The 基础

Read these 4 articles IN ORDER before attempting any trading strategy. They cover:

  • Why 90% of traders fail (with statistics)
  • How markets actually work (structure and mechanics)
  • Position sizing and risk management (the most important skill)
  • 交易 psychology and behavioral biases

If you skip these foundations, you WILL lose money. No strategy will save you without proper risk management and psychological discipline.

Strategy & Regime Playbook

A comprehensive summary of the core trading strategies, their pros and cons, and the market regimes where they perform best (or get destroyed).

1. 趋势跟随 (Momentum)

Mechanics: Buying assets that are going up; shorting assets going down. Using 移动平均线, Donchian Channels, and trailing stops.

优点: Captures massive tail-events (black swans can be profitable if you're riding the trend). Unlimited upside.
缺点: Low win rate (30-40%). Subject to brutal whipsaws. Emotionally difficult to trade.
Application Regime: 🟢 Trending / High Macro Uncertainty. Thrives during prolonged bull markets or protracted bear markets (e.g., 2008, 2022).
Avoid In: 🔴 Choppy, sideways, low-volatility markets.

2. Mean Reversion & Statistical Arbitrage

Mechanics: Fading extreme moves based on the assumption that price/spreads revert to the historical average. Using Z-scores, RSI, Pairs 交易.

优点: High win rate (60-70%). Frequent trading opportunities. Lower correlation to broader market (if market-neutral).
缺点: "Picking up pennies in front of a steamroller." Risk of structural breaks (the mean permanently shifts).
Application Regime: 🟢 Range-bound, sideways, and low-to-medium volatility markets.
Avoid In: 🔴 Strong directional regimes or structural paradigm shifts (e.g., Tech bubble, COVID crash).

3. Volatility Selling (Short Premium)

Mechanics: Selling options (Iron Condors, Credit Spreads, Covered Calls) to harvest theta decay and implied volatility risk premium.

优点: Extremely high win rates (80%+). Consistent income generation. Capitalizes on the fact that IV usually overstates realized volatility.
缺点: Negative convexity. One bad tail event (black swan) can wipe out years of gains if not properly hedged.
Application Regime: 🟢 Decreasing volatility or sideways markets with elevated IV.
Avoid In: 🔴 Low IV environments transitioning into high macro uncertainty (Volmageddon).

4. Breakout & Momentum 交易

Mechanics: Buying assets as they breach key resistance levels (or shorting support) with expanding volume. Cup & Handle, Bull Flags, Volatility expansion.

优点: Excellent risk-to-reward ratios. Capital is not tied up in dead money (you only enter when it moves).
缺点: Susceptible to algorithmic "fake-outs" and liquidity sweeps. Requires precise timing and strict stop-losses.
Application Regime: 🟢 Risk-on, high liquidity bull markets. Earnings season with strong fundamental catalysts.
Avoid In: 🔴 Choppy, low-volume, or ranging markets (summer doldrums).
