trade on what you see
I have always believed that you have to be down-to-earth when doing transactions, so you should be down-to-earth when writing articles. In fact, we do many profitable orders in trading, which is very easy. You don’t think about making money or losing money. You just see things. Transform it into your own action force and participate in it.
For me, trading is like this, what you see is what you see, where are the advantages and disadvantages, the market may create 'certainty' in the microscopic field, and then destroy you all at once when you adapt. So don't worry about what will happen in the future, you have to understand that a single transaction can't explain anything, you have to understand that your entry is in line with your own definition of the market and you have an advantage.
The development and end of the market may come from excess, whether it is positive or negative, when you adapt to the current certainty, the market will wipe you out collectively. If our thinking is still in the recent long-term thinking, we will go long at 1, 2, and 3 in Figure 1, and expect the upward trend to continue to resume. But things often happen as they wish, when you try to find certainty in the microscopic field, you are not far from being wiped out;
If you switch to the other side, because you saw a gap, you think that the current market is excessive. At this time, you are inclined to be bearish. The market does meet your expectations, and you adjust the time period. You chose to go short at positions 1, 2 and 2 in Figure 2, but things still didn’t work out as you wished, and you were still swept out.
If you give up your beliefs because of this, you may not get anything in the end. At this time, you will start to wonder why you lost money when you were in the right direction. Are you reflecting on whether the stop loss is too sensitive? Is it necessary to set a larger stop loss to filter out the noise of the market?
If you think like this, you will fall into another illusion. Here I believe everyone will have experience. I will not give examples. What I want to say next is to carry out my thinking. My firm thinking means that what you see is what you see. I am a firm follower of the trend, and secondly, I am also a believer in trend trading;
Sometimes I clearly see that the trend is weakening, and the market may usher in an adjustment or reversal, but I do not operate because I am waiting for the potential I want to appear.
When the market was developing in area A, I waited until I wanted the result. The price in area A continued to push down, and I knew that the decline would be unstoppable. At this time, I felt like a commander, as if looking at the enemy's fatal weakness. If someone was standing next to me, I might pat him on the shoulder and say: ''Time is on my side''. At this time, I thought of a saying of Confucius, no haste, no small gains, haste makes waste, and small gains lead to great failure. Any waiting is worth it, I know there must be enough profit waiting for me to get it next.
I went short and increased positions respectively at 123 in Figure 3. There are still uncertainties in the market, but you can’t be afraid just because the market slaps you in the face, or leave after paying the cost without enjoying the profit.
