Futures are like cooking fresh

   Today I will talk to you about the relationship between "Tao Te Ching" and futures trading.



01 I think that the sentence in the "Tao Te Ching" that is most closely related to futures is "governing a big country is like cooking a small fish". Thinking that my Chinese culture is extensive and profound, this sentence can have two completely opposite interpretations.



Many people understand that governing a country is like stir-frying. The oil, salt, sauce and vinegar must be cooked just right, and the stir-fry must be kept to prevent uneven heating.



When Lao Tzu heard this sentence, he was so angry that he took people there to argue.



The technique of "stir-frying" in cooking began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it was not popularized until the Song Dynasty. Although Lao Tzu is a god, he can't invent things that are only available hundreds of years later.



The correct explanation is: Governing a big country is like frying a small fish, you can't keep scratching him, otherwise the fish will break.



Li Longji, the only romantic son in history whose grandmother is also the emperor, once inspected the logistics work, said: Those who cook small fresh food are unstoppable,...the fish will rot if scratched...Small fish, small fish, say cooking Little Xian is not scratchable, but if scratched, the fish will collapse... (from "Huainanzi·Qi Su Xun" Tang Xuanzong's Note)



It seems that Tang Xuanzong Li Longji not only likes fat sisters, but also likes to eat fried small fish. Not only can eat, but also cook. If you look at the inspection and guidance of the logistics and cooking department, everything is in place.



It seems that to be an emperor is not only to watch the moon with his beautiful fat sister in his arms, but also to be a foodie in order to command the world.

Doing futures is also like frying small fish. You can't keep scratching it, otherwise, your account will be broken.



You always want to scratch it when cooking small fresh food, because you are always afraid that it will be burnt or not cooked enough.



When you are trading futures, you always think about going in and out, but you are afraid of two things: one is that you are afraid of missing opportunities, and the other is that you want to pocket it for peace of mind if you make a profit.



Another person said that Mr. Wang next door does short-term every day, and can enter and exit hundreds of times a day. Why is the account not bad?



That tells you: thousands of times a day, enjoy the process, but he does not control the impact of the process on the result.



No matter what posture is used, the old Wang next door is cool, but you ask if the account that has been accessed thousands of times is cool?

operation method that does not take the trend as the main profit point will have a small capital capacity and will not last long. why would you say so? The reason is very simple, think about it, if you use hundreds of millions of funds to enter and exit thousands of times a day, see if you can get in or get out.



But there are some people who have been silent for more than ten years in the joy of earning a few points every time they enter and exit.



Year after year, day after day, every time you enter the market, you will run if you have a few points of profit. If you are caught, you will wait and see, and you will even increase your position, and what is even more full.



As a result, when I made a profit, it was only a few tens of yuan, or one or two hundred yuan, but when I lost, it was often thousands of yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan. I have to keep an eye on the market all the time, and I am often tortured until I lose my mind and lose my mind.




For these individuals, if you can see my post, I suggest you buy two small fish and fry them in a pan.



What? Can't cook? !



Then let your wife fry, I guarantee that your wife understands the "Tao Te Ching".



What? The market doesn't have fish that small? ! Then go to the river, see a fisherman, give him two cigarettes and have a chat, and exchange him for two small fish.

Under normal circumstances, traders with several years of operating experience know to find the stop loss position before entering the market, and open positions according to the stop loss position. However, in the implementation process, there are often two extreme situations.



One is that you have just been caught, and you hurriedly stopped the loss to close the position before reaching the stop loss position, but the result is often that you just closed the position, and the smooth big market came.



The second is to reach the stop loss position, but I am reluctant to cut it. I always think about taking another look, maybe the price will come back soon, but the result is often getting deeper and deeper.



Depressed, depressed! Can't do it anyway. I couldn't help shouting in my heart: God, the earth, which angel elder sister help me vent my anger!




In fact, heaven is not far away, but in your heart, and the big sister angel is also in your heart. As long as you find a good stop loss position before opening a position, and strictly implement it after entering the market, the angel will come.



Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, you must have a good system, and you cannot open and close positions at will. Otherwise, although heaven is in your heart, it is also the farthest distance in the world.

You can't always scratch it when cooking small fish. When the small fish is cooked, you have to turn off the heat and take it out of the pot, otherwise it will be mushy. And the grasp of the heat is also very important.



We can't always think about pocketing the profit list. Similarly, when the profit is over, we have to go out. Otherwise, it would be more uncomfortable to sit on a roller coaster than to lose money.



After catching a wave of trends, we should not enter the market prematurely, but let the market develop and grow, and let profits run. But after the profit is maximized, we have to find a way to realize the profit.



As for when the specific profit list is appropriate, this is another university question, and I will devote a special space to this issue
