For traders, it is like the rigor and orderliness of workshop workers. Every step of the transaction is precise - the process of making a transaction is like assembling a precision instrument, every layer of components and every screw must not be misplaced, and a wrong step may lead to a series of mistakes.
One morning last Saturday, my friend Ali came to see me. I put on my coat and came, and saw her smoking a cigarette on a bench in the community from afar. It was still dark at six o'clock in the winter morning, and the surroundings were extraordinarily quiet. She forced a smile, said good morning to me politely, and said she wanted to chat with me. There was a slight chemical reaction in my mind, and I was sleepy with small emotions, listening to her nagging, and many dissatisfaction with the surroundings.
When I felt that the chat was unsustainable, suddenly her voice choked up, her face was embarrassed, and she said in a low voice: I lost $10,000 last night. One second I felt guilty for not caring enough about my friend, and the next second, I couldn't describe the annoyance, helplessness, regret, and hatred I felt at that time, because I felt worthless for her. I haven't forgotten her beaming expression a few days ago: It's okay, I believe in my strength, how can I succeed if I don't liquidate my position, and I won't stop until I finish the last bullet.
Don't people believe in smooth sailing? Don't believe in successful models and role models yet? Do you even think that it is impossible to make a good deal without liquidating? My point of view is completely opposite. A person who is frequently on the verge of liquidation has ruined his mentality, because there is no certainty of success in sight, and a fluke victory is replaced. Even if he wins, he is not confident.
We went to the coffee shop for a long chat that day, and it was obvious that she was resistant and reluctantly let me know the details. She kept emphasizing to me how fascinating her previous record was, but she just accidentally got a full position. I listened quietly, and when she finally stopped, I asked softly to know the whole story.
On the way home, the cold wind was blowing on my cheeks. I thought back to the time when we were not afraid of the cold wind or the scorching sun, with firm will and decisive actions.
In this market, and even more in the investment industry, there is no lack of situations like Xiang Ali, and if it happens once, it will happen again next time. Why?
In fact, when doing trading, after some years of study and practice, most people have a certain level of technology, and there is little difference in these aspects. The gap is reflected in the ups and downs of their hearts. Whether you always maintain a normal mind, whether every transaction is strictly executed according to your own trading system, and whether you can reasonably grasp the risk control points and control the position, this requires courage and more perseverance.
Usually some traders, in the process of operation, make profits one by one, or make profits on large orders, which is really good. The trading system has been proven. It just depends on whether you are full of joy at this time, feel that you are skilled, and then praise everyone you meet, and show your profits in your circle of friends. Still be able to calm down, continue to look at which level this successful market belongs to, and which part of the trading system is best used, and then keep improving.
The market is constantly changing, and it does not mean running wildly. It is always within the scope of technology. The world changes with time, so we should treat it with flexible thinking. If you are still indulging in the joy of harvest and don’t get back in time, you may cause misunderstandings in subjective judgments. It’s not that you don’t have the ability to conduct objective analysis, but that you lose yourself in your joy, and even treat the market with the previous thinking. Get into the mindset.
In the face of losses, there are different acceptance attitudes. Some people can have profits, or never have them, but if everything they once owned becomes nothing, and profits become losses, people's spirits are prone to collapse, because they cannot abandon the glory and joy of the past. We must know that no matter how prosperous it is, it is only a moment. In this market, the money you lose is earned by others; the money you earn is also lost by others.
From my personal point of view, the ideal trading model - 1. Rigorously use the trading techniques you have learned; 2. Strictly control risks; 3. Adjust your mentality. And your mentality already includes strict execution ability. If the mentality is not enough, there is no way to further stop loss and take profit orders. A trader is like a workshop worker who is rigorous and organized.
Every step of the transaction is precise, how should I put it? In my opinion, the process of making a transaction is like assembling a precision instrument. Layers of components and every screw must not be misplaced. A wrong step may lead to a series of mistakes.
Just like you are a workshop worker and successfully assembled a precision instrument, would you be excited and proud? Or the misery of an assembly error? No, but continue with your organizational work.
You are rigorous, and every step is not sloppy. When you move and touch the documents, you can feel the sonorous and powerful heartbeat, so steady.
Because a mechanized operating system has been formed. It is only necessary to follow each step and operate successfully, and a complete system has been formed. You may breathe a sigh of relief after it's done, it's done, and then the next one, every one of them.
Finally, I use a poem to encourage you: It is difficult to grow up without poverty, and to be naive without being beaten. Since ancient times, heroes have come out of purgatory, and have never entered the mortal world with wealth. Only by not disappointing can we return to our original aspirations.
