For the Chinese, playing mahjong is like drinking tea. Although it is not as old as tea culture, it has a history of thousands of years. During the long Spring Festival holiday, relatives and friends get together, drink and eat, and play mahjong to enjoy themselves after dinner. Many Chinese linger on the mahjong table.
After I came into contact with trading, I found a very interesting question. A good mahjong player must have a good mentality and excellent psychological quality. Today I will talk about those seemingly irrelevant but deeply thought-through ideas between mahjong and trading. Some theories!
1. Ten gambles and nine frauds and the main force set up a game
The vast majority of people who trade are honest, honest, and mechanical in thinking, which has a lot to do with being instilled in the three assumptions in the basic theory of technical analysis. Everyone thinks that the price represents everyone's heart, but in fact the main force is taking the plank road openly and secretly. If you are a master of mahjong, you will understand this way without a teacher. There are many deceitful techniques in playing mahjong, which are too numerous to enumerate.
When we play mahjong, there is a link of listening to cards. Many people pretend to listen, but in fact it is still a mess of cards. The novice who doesn't know what to do is afraid of firing a gun and abandons it. In fact, the purpose of the opponent is to interfere and disrupt other people's judgment and deployment. We feel this very clearly in the transaction, relying on the technical analysis layout, the buying list did not develop according to the prediction, and after we quickly stopped the loss, the market reversed again, and we always felt that the market was playing tricks on ourselves and against ourselves.
In fact, this only shows that traders of technical analysis are too naive and do not understand that technical analysis is the study and judgment of probability. They need to make several plans when placing an order:
①What should I do if there is a loss?
②What to do if the market reverses again after the stop loss is out?
③ Profit-taking, floating losses, should we settle them?
These are all situations that should be carefully considered before placing an order. Why do traders run away in a panic when they see a loss after placing an order? This is because I have learned technical analysis too simply, and my trading mind is too simple. Transactions must have a complete pre-plan deployment and mature routines to deal with.
2. The size of winning or losing reflects fund management
Everyone knows that when playing mahjong, if you don’t have enough money in your pocket, the probability of losing is often greater, because if you don’t have enough money, you will especially want to win, and the more you want to win, the more you will lose...
Playing mahjong also needs to pay attention to fund management. Generally, a principal of 6,000 yuan is suitable for playing a game of 40 yuan or less. If you can't grasp the opportunity after playing 150 cards, you are really unlucky, or you don't know how to play mahjong at all.
The same is true for trading. If the position management is good, we are not afraid of losing money, because we also know that we cannot make money every time we trade, and we will have enough funds to re-trade after a loss. Many traders like to trade heavily. Bad operations will hurt the muscles and bones, and there will be no chance of turning over. Such transactions often have a greater probability of losing money. Therefore, fund management is of great importance to transactions.
3. Observing words and sentiments and market research and judgment
Everyone must have heard the motto of playing mahjong: watch the upper house, hold back the lower house, and keep an eye on the opposite door. To play mahjong, you need to watch the six directions and listen to all directions, gain insight into the ever-changing situation of the game, and interpret the change of the wind direction in the game. People in the game of cards seem to be in a paradise, not caring about the changes in the world's cold and heat, and wholeheartedly observing the vicissitudes of the game of cards.
"Look at the top player, hold back the next player, and keep an eye on the opposite door." This means that we have to control the game. After all, human energy is limited. A trading instrument with its own trading style. Each variety has its own habits, much like our upper family, lower family and opposite door when we play mahjong.
4. Win or lose is invisible
Everyone has heard that "articles are like the person, characters are like the person", these are not all accurate, the most appropriate is "cards are like the person". The similarity between playing mahjong and trading lies in the psychological game. There are many people who throw cards and scold dice at the poker table. It is often said that a brand is a character. Most people who wrestle cards and scold dice are not venting their emotions, but causing negative impact and interference on the emotions and psychology of other players.
What they have in common is that they will only show their teeth and claws when they lose money and the cards are not going well, throwing cards and cursing dice with grim faces. When the cards are going well, they will also look like peach blossoms and smile happily. This is just like our trading market. The main force makes the market thrilling and has only one purpose: to make retail traders unable to bear emotional fluctuations and disturb the thoughts of retail investors.
Once upon a time, there was a tennis star McEnroe. His skills were superb, but he was not good at the game. When tennis games encountered difficulties, setbacks, and headwinds, he would beat his racket, curse at the street, and lose his temper. The purpose was not to vent himself, but to disturb the opponent. . Many opponents who are not strong enough to withstand it will be disturbed by it and cause their level to drop instantly and perform abnormally, just like the sharp drop and sharp rise encountered in our trading.
Being able to show emotions and anger in playing mahjong and trading shows that you are psychologically stable and have a strong mental quality, that is, you have strong endurance. Many friends and traders who play mahjong have a common problem: they want to win and are afraid of losing, and worry about gains and losses. This is because their mental state is not good enough. Generally speaking, the best training method is to "expand" funds step by step. If we feel our heart beat faster when playing 248 yuan on the mahjong table, then stick to playing 248 yuan.
5. A bad hand and closing it in time
Those who are well versed in the way of playing hemp will understand that not every hand of cards will develop in the direction of winning cards after being picked up. There will be one out of ten cards that needs to be "handled"; three of them are unhurried, although there is no hope of winning cards, but they must be strictly guarded against "familiar cards"; there is still one card that is used for other players Plan to fire some small guns.
"Abandoning the Hu" is the safest and wisest choice to make when the thirteen cards you have drawn are too bad and you have no hope of winning any cards. If you don't give up Hu, you won't be able to "look at the upper family, hold back the next family, and keep an eye on the opposite door." The final outcome is that you can't succeed in Hu, and you lose a lot of money by firing cannons. The strategy of "abandoning the beard" enlightens traders: In foreign exchange trading, naive traders imagine that every order can make a profit. This kind of thinking planted the seeds of failure. You must understand that some wrong orders need to be stopped and closed in time after they are established; It was because everyone didn't take the initiative to fire the cannon and was suppressed.
Foreign exchange traders will not easily accept the fact that not every order will bring you profit, and it is difficult for traders to know how to give up voluntarily. In trading, most of the market evolution after the order is placed does not meet expectations, but whether it is a loss or a small profit, it must be stopped in time. We are not gods, we cannot operate correctly and satisfactorily every time, we must learn to correct mistakes in a timely manner, have the courage to admit mistakes, and give up decisively, which is also the essence of trading conveyed to us by the core of mahjong.
6. "Observe his words and observe his actions" and pay attention to the market
Among the friends who are learning to trade, many people rush into battle without having done trading, and they all have full positions and full positions. This is what people often say "reversing the opposite direction", and they have to run before they learn to stand. This type of trader definitely doesn't know how to play mahjong. During the process of playing mahjong, you will find some friends who like to watch the game. Everyone at the poker table was in full swing, and he couldn't get enough of watching the game all night, and he still enjoyed watching the first half, or even the whole year.
Such spectators all have backgrounds, and he has already mastered the routines, styles, and numbers of everyone's playing cards. One day, everyone made an appointment with a certain gentleman before he arrived, and he had the opportunity to participate in the situation of three missing one. If he is allowed to enter the game, it will be more or less ominous, and if it is not done well, it will be swept away and everyone will be wiped clean.
This is even more so when doing trading. When you first get involved in futures, you have to concentrate on looking at them for two or three years, focusing on the individual varieties you are interested in and studying them with great concentration. Year's simulation disk. It will take two to three years for the whole process from observing the market to moving towards simulation, and then making firm offers with light positions. If you don’t have this necessary stage, or if you are eager to eat hot tofu and skip this stage, if you want to learn by yourself, you are generally doomed, and no one will be lucky enough to be an exception.
A person's life is the reading of all kinds of life. If you want to go to the mahjong table, you have to read the game participants' strategies and layout styles all night long; . Only when you are not tired of doing it, persevere, and accumulate knowledge, can you gain some understanding, not the so-called understanding, just getting a little way.
7. The way of the game is to win or lose
Coincidentally, among friends who are beginners in mahjong, some people will eagerly ask: Tell me, how can I not lose money in playing mahjong? How can you win five out of ten cards? This is the same as foreign exchange traders asking: Will you die with blood if you execute your fund management?
The same thing as gambling and trading is "high risk", no one can participate in it without taking risks.
It is difficult to grasp the winning point of games and transactions: as far as a single transaction is concerned, when a loss occurs, if you stop the loss, the loss may continue to expand until the position is liquidated; if you stop the loss, the market may move in your favor The direction is reversed, and as long as you hold it, you will win a huge profit. This is a real dilemma for traders. We Chinese have summed up many aphorisms through our daily thinking in our life experience, such as choosing the lesser of two evils and the more important of two benefits. It has a simple and beneficial guiding role for us in gambling and trading.
At the poker table, if you don't have excellent dice skills, it is difficult to win by surprise. Einstein, the great physicist, has a famous saying: Does God play dice? He was asking questions about quantum mechanics, which is enough to show that rolling dice is random, how can you make this random show a probability that favors you. In the past, there was no shuffling machine, and everyone likes to do some tricks when stacking cards on the table. Generally, when they catch the cards in front of their door, they can enter the cards as soon as possible, and then draw the cards as soon as possible. You have to be able to find the right door when you roll the dice. The skill of rolling the dice to open the door requires years of continuous training to have a 60% to 70% success rate. This is equivalent to placing an order for futures. You need to know and understand at what price to place an order, and then the development of the market can basically match your expectations and predictions. If you place an order ten times, you can have a probability of basically matching three times, and you can be sure of winning in any transaction.
The behavior of opening a position and buying in the transaction is the core real skill, which is equivalent to rolling the dice to open the cards. Everyone knows that only the dealer can roll the dice to open the cards. If the roll is successful, there will be double profits. In foreign exchange trading, the level of research and judgment on the current market and future trend development determines the level of your order. Traders with a high level of market research and judgment may make a large profit when placing an order; otherwise, it will be a loss order, either profit-taking or stop-loss settlement.
8. Need a famous teacher to lead the way
The general mentality of traders is to want to win or lose, and no one "want to lose and are afraid of winning". Playing mahjong and trading are the same. Everyone's losses are caused by the pursuit of profits, and no one is caused by the pursuit of losses. If a person holds the concept of wanting to lose and afraid of winning to play mahjong and trade, there will be different endings: one is that everyone thinks he is stupid; the other is that his experience and ending are completely different from everyone else.
There is a similarity between learning rubbing and trading, that is, if you want to improve quickly and get on the right track, you must have a master to guide you. First of all, if you are suitable for rubbing hemp, please ask a master in the poker field to see the clue. I once taught a friend to play mahjong, and I found that he was unusually nervous when he got on the table, blushing, sweating profusely, anxious about himself and himself, and anxious about the cards he drew. I asked him to be my opponent, and told him to keep the cards in front of me. He did so and started to win money in a row. But he was still nervous, maybe because he wanted to win too much and was afraid of losing. All this tells me that his circadian rhythm and emotional ups and downs are not suitable for playing mahjong.
If playing mahjong and making deals can make your heart surge, immerse yourself in it, speed up your heartbeat, and stimulate the secretion of glands, you'd better stay away from it; if you can feel calm, rational and relaxed, and have good self-control, you can continue. In trading, your own self-perception and judgment are often wrong, and you must be able to listen to other people's opinions and suggestions about you.
Every trader thinks back on the steps of losing money, and they are almost the same: the ups and downs of the market, the ups and downs cause your emotions to be unstable or even out of control, and the ups and downs of emotions cause you to mess up your own position, and you can’t hold your emotions in the transaction. In the end, it was a matter of course to lose. Players and traders who fail in rubbing and trading are enslaved by emotions in this way!
