Do you also have this kind of experience, when you encounter a bottleneck in the transaction, no matter what you do, you will always be wrong, or you will always be more wrong than right; obviously you are using the same method as before, which was very effective before, but this time it just doesn’t work The effect, or the effect is very poor.....
Every trader will encounter bottlenecks, and they will encounter different bottlenecks in different trading stages. When we encounter bottlenecks, we are often puzzled and unable to find an exit, which is very frustrating.
So why is there a bottleneck? Maybe the market environment has changed, maybe the mentality has changed, maybe it's some other reasons, in short, we are being suppressed by an invisible glass ceiling, you can't see where it is, but it just makes people breathless. .....
When we first entered the market to do transactions, when we came into contact with a new method, we would test it first to see how effective it was. If the effect was not obvious, we would naturally discard it like dung, and then continue to look for another method until we find what we think A method that works well.
However, every trading method has a period of time to adapt to the market. The method we abandoned at the beginning may just not adapt to the market at that time; It was just a matter of adapting to the market at that time.
Then, we will work hard to learn a lot of theoretical knowledge. We always feel that the more we learn, the more we gain. However, the more you learn and the more complicated it is, maybe it's better to learn one or two methods well and thoroughly.
Or, after accumulating profits for a period of time, once in a while, our funds will withdraw sharply once in a while, and we are always unable to continue accumulating wealth because our fund management strategy is not perfect enough. .
It may also be that our mentality has changed. When we lose money consecutively, we will be more modest and cautious; but when we make consecutive profits, we will become conceited and careless. However, these all happen unconsciously, many times without us even realizing it.
In fact, many times we also know in our hearts what we should do and what we should not do, but often at the moment of trading, we will suddenly have "brain cramps", and we just cannot achieve "unity of knowledge and action"..... .
It may also be that the previous market model was very suitable for our operation cycle, which made us feel like a fish in water, but now the market model has evolved into a large-cycle market, and each cycle affects each other, making us at a loss...
Also a possibility......
All in all, it is a bottleneck!
What should I do if the transaction encounters a bottleneck?
Share some of my small methods, I hope it will help you when you encounter bottlenecks.
1. Stop Trading
When we can't figure out the clues, we must stop trading first, and continue trading after we sort out the clues. Otherwise, it is very likely that our emotions will be affected, and the trading will lose its rhythm, which will cause disaster to the trading account.
Of course, it is also possible that you have achieved stable profitability, and your bottleneck is that you cannot improve your profitability. At this time, you may not need to stop trading, but before you have figured out the way to improve your ability, don’t easily change the transaction The system must be operated, otherwise it will inevitably cause damage to the trading account.
Second, replay
After stopping trading, the next step is to review the market to find out the root cause of the bottleneck. Review the transaction records carefully, try to find out the problem, compare the difference between the transaction before and after, and use the same method, why the effect is different before and after? Carefully explore whether it is the reason of the method or the reason of the mentality?
Under normal circumstances, if you already have a roughly stable trading system, reviewing transaction records can solve most problems. As long as you find out the root of the problem, you can always find a way to overcome it.
Three, thinking
If after the above two steps, there is still no result, or you are still building a trading system, then the next step is to think deeply.
Try to think about where the problem is all the time, or you know the flaws of the trading method, but you can't find a better strategy to deal with it, then try to think about how to optimize the strategy. Some people just keep thinking like this, and accidentally having a dream solves the problem! Because when you are immersed in a problem, the brain is working subconsciously. Therefore, thinking deeply without interruption often leads to epiphanies inadvertently.
And if you don’t make any progress no matter how you think about it, you can temporarily put aside the problem and do something interesting. The left brain and the right brain are used alternately, and sparks often collide.
Or you can go for a walk, climb a mountain, travel, take a hot bath, let yourself go, and get inspired occasionally.
Four, study
1. If there is no progress or gain, go to review, review is also a kind of learning. Take out the books or notes that have brought you great gains before, such as K-line theory, market patterns and other theoretical books. Learn the new by reviewing the past, very often we will suddenly see the light during the review process, "Oh, so it is like this"...
2. You can also communicate more with your peers, learn from them, keep an open mind, and don't work behind closed doors. Everyone has something worth learning from others. Sometimes we may get inspiration and inspiration because of a casual sentence from others.
3. You can also read new books and learn new knowledge. This world is wonderful, everything has different characteristics, different theories will have different interpretations of the same market, but the right things are always connected, absorb nutrition from other people's knowledge and experience, learn from different Sensing the market from a different angle often inspires us.
When we encounter a bottleneck, don't be irritable, discouraged, and don't shrink back. Try to break through it, and it will eventually make us stronger. Whenever we break through a bottleneck, the feeling of transparency and clarity is so beautiful, and our level will get another qualitative leap, and the road before us will become wider and brighter.
