A Trader’s Journey from A-Shares to Crypto to US Equities
TREE NEWS reports: After seven years trading A-shares, a stint in crypto, and now a return to traditional assets, Bitget VIP trader Shiguang has settled on a simple but demanding edge: finding the misalignment between price and value. His focus today is US stock perpetual contracts, where he applies a framework built across multiple market cycles.
Price Is a Signal, Not a Conclusion
Shiguang describes his approach bluntly: “Buy cheap, sell low” — a deliberate inversion of the usual maxim. For him, price reflects the market’s current consensus, shaped by sentiment, expectations, and capital flows. It describes the present, not necessarily the underlying worth of an asset. “Price tells you what the market is thinking right now, but not necessarily what it’s truly worth,” he says. That gap between market consensus and intrinsic value is where opportunity emerges.
Macro, Fundamentals, Technicals: A Funnel for Decisions
His judgment process converges in layers. Macro determines what to watch — Fed policy, nonfarm payrolls, geopolitics, Treasury yields, and oil prices form the backdrop for risk appetite and capital flows. Fundamentals determine why to trade: if a company’s underlying business hasn’t deteriorated but its stock has sold off on panic, he asks whether that’s a value re-rating or a temporary emotional dislocation. Technicals determine when to act — he watches 1-hour and daily trends alongside volume, treating a confirmed daily trend with rising volume as a continuation signal, and high-level volume without further upside as a potential exit cue.
Risk Boundaries Before Conviction
Crucially, Shiguang doesn’t confuse conviction with stubbornness. He sets a hard stop: if overall account losses reach roughly 5%, he exits rather than waiting for the market to vindicate him. He forms a view, waits for price to enter his entry zone, executes if the thesis holds, and exits if it fails. This discipline allows him to buy into fear and stand against consensus without letting a single wrong call become catastrophic.
Platform as Infrastructure for Multi-Asset Judgment
To track rate policy, oil, geopolitics, and individual equities simultaneously, Shiguang needs a platform that consolidates information and execution. On Bitget, he trades US stock perpetuals across 1,000+ stocks and ETFs with 7×24 trading and a unified account. VIP services add industry updates, strategy content, and Level 2 data, helping him convert scattered multi-asset signals into a coherent view of value.
Forward-Looking: The Convergence Trade
Shiguang’s path mirrors a broader trend: as crypto and traditional markets converge through perpetual contracts on equities, traders increasingly demand cross-asset surveillance and execution. The edge is no longer just speed or access — it’s the discipline to separate price from value, and the humility to admit when the market’s answer overrides your own. For platforms, the implication is clear: unified accounts, deep liquidity, and rich data will define the next phase of retail and VIP trading in hybrid markets.
