[Miser][Miser] Core Strategy: Long China on Political Tailwinds
Market Direction Calls 📈

“Hong Kong and A‑shares often bounce on false optimism, making this journey painful—yet 2025 is finally proving my China‑long thesis correct.”

Persistence in Downturns 💪
“My greatest test was sticking to my China‑long conviction during relentless market slides—a challenge every trader faces when the trend feels wrong.”

“I trade based on what’s politically favorable: in 2025 the U.S.–China dynamic is the defining game between two global giants, and I long China on that basis.”
Risk Control Tactics
Event‑Driven De‑Risking 🛡️
“When upcoming political events look negative for China’s markets over the next two months, I trim my positions. I believe China’s downside is limited, but a flat market is painful—especially when using leverage.”
🌟 Key to Success
Follow the Political Playbook 📜
“Both superpowers rarely self‑inflict harm. By forecasting what benefits the U.S. or China politically, I can position ahead of major moves.”
