Whatever you do, you cannot avoid losing trades. The only solution that will help you is to keep the risk low and catch big moves that makes 100-200 pips.

CNY is being tightly controlled by the Chinese Central Bank. This is just like what the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan do. This is something good. What this means is that there wont be many surprises when trading with USDCNY. Everything have been scripted by the Federal Reserve and the Chinese Central Bank for this pair. If Federal Reserve increases interest rates, plan for a long trade. In the same manner when Chinese Central Bank takes some action, you should be prepared for that if you want to trade USDCNY.

Trading more pairs gives you the opportunity to make more trades. This is what you should focus on doing. You should focus on making 1000 pips each and every month with a low risk. More pairs you have, more trading setups you get. So you get more opportunities. Add a few more pairs to your trading portfolio in addition to this pair USDCNY. Did you read the post how to trade naked and make 1000 pips?
Naked trading just means that you focus on price action instead of the indicators. Indicators give a lot of false signals. Moreover all the indicators are lagging because they are based on formulas that use price. So instead of focusing on indicators focus on price action and a few leading indicators like the pivot points and the Fibonacci levels.

Focus on the weekly and the daily charts. Every Sunday study the weekly charts of these currency pairs. Weekly and daily charts give you the direction in which the market moves. The high and low made on the weekly and daily chart are important levels of support and resistance that can give you good trades. You can watch this video on how to trade on weekly and daily charts. Once you have the direction of the market, you can choose H4 or even H1 for making the entry. I always use H4 for entry as H4 candle is far more reliable as compared to H1 candle.
Now a lot of traders have started using machine learning in their trading. Hedge funds and big banks are the ones who started this trend of using artificial intelligence and machine learning in trading. You can take your trading to a higher level by learning machine learning and artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is being used a lot in many different fields now a days. Today more than 80% of the trades that are being made on Wall Street are made by algorithms. So you can well imagine you are in competition with these trading algorithms. The best method to defeat these trading algorithms is to use your own trading algorithms. Read this post on how to use random forest in trading.
