Overperformance of the 940 Midway Trading Strategy

Core Positioning: High win rate, low drawdown, only trading the most comfortable main upward phases. [Taogu Ba]
Core Closed Loop: Sentiment Timing → High Recognition → Unexpected Bidding Surprises → Unexpected Opening → 9:40 Confirmation → Node Stocks Resonance.
1. Sentiment Timing (Iron Law: Only do 2 types, others stay in cash / light positions)
1.1 Suitable Environment
(1) Main Uptrend Phase of Sentiment
Continuous breaking of consecutive limit-ups;
Many limit-ups, few breakouts, few large declines;
Leading stocks daily exceeding expectations, sector rotation healthy;
Chasing highs / stable partial gains.
(2) Sentiment Rebound Day (Ice Point Reversal)
Previous day’s sentiment at bottom, widespread large declines;
Fewer bids at open, no further dips on high targets;
First limit-up / successful second batch;
Funds trial and error → confirmed reflow.
1.2 Unsuitable Environment (Skip at 9:40 mid-session)
Sentiment retreat, divergence causing declines, continuous large declines at high levels / core bids.
Main themes collapsing, no new main themes.
Logic: If sentiment is wrong, even exceeding expectations is just a trap.
2. Target Selection: Only high recognition stocks (ignore unnamed first limit-ups)
(1) Market leaders and high-level leaders.
(2) Mainline sector leaders one and two.
(3) Popular speculative stocks, rebound leaders, mid-term trend generals.
(4) New addition: Node stocks.
3. 9:25 Unexpected Bidding (Meet 2 or more conditions)
(1) Opening gap > sector > same tier.
(2) Bidding for shares, last few seconds raising price.
(3) No order failures, no sell-offs, healthy volume.
(4) Better than expected (expected dips but open high).
4. 9:30–9:35 Unexpected Opening (Meet 2 or more conditions)
(1) First wave of volume-driven attack at open.
(2) Limited decline at open (within 4%), strong bottom support, quick break above opening price.
(3) Stronger than the market, sector.
5. 9:40 Final Confirmation (Buy Point: No prediction, no left-side guessing, no gambling)
5.1 Meet all 4 conditions simultaneously
(1) Stabilize above moving averages on intraday chart, wave after wave higher.
(2) Volume and price rise together, no obvious trap setups (volume ratio > 2).
(3) Sector / sentiment not collapsing.
(4) Still within 4%–8% safe mid-range zone.
5.2 Buying Actions
(1) Confirm at 9:40 → Enter immediately.
(2) If over 8%, wait for breakout confirmation.
6. Node Stocks
6.1 Definition
Node stocks = At sentiment inflection points / mainline switch / cycle turning points, the first to show strength, lead sector, and guide fund reflow.
(1) Signal source of “sentiment turning stronger”.
(2) Flag bearer of “mainline confirmation”.
(3) Higher win rate and premium compared to ordinary high targets.
6.2 Characteristics of Node Stocks
(1) Appear on ice point reversal / main upward start / mainline switch days.
(2) Market-leading bidding / opening strength.
(3) Lead the market, sector, and high targets early.
(4) Drive follow-through, decisive limit-ups, few breakouts.
(5) Usually: new leading stocks’ first limit-up, first in second batch, or confirmed bullish candle on key turnaround.
6.3 Pool Entry Priority
Node stocks > Overall leaders > Mainline leader one > Other high targets.
7. The Ultimate Five-in-One Formula
Sentiment timing ranks first; wait for main upward rebound before acting.
High recognition is fundamental; discard all messy first limit-ups.
Bidding for shares exceeding expectations; don’t back down at open.
Node resonance is optimal; confirm at 9:40 for mid-session entry.
8. Profit Logic
(1) Sentiment timing: profit from big trends.
(2) Recognition: profit from popularity.
(3) Surprises exceeding expectations: profit from fund chasing.
(4) 9:40 confirmation: profit from certainty.
(5) Node stocks: profit from sentiment inflection + mainline resonance.
