In the world of futures, the saying of enlightenment exists, and it is also a mysterious existence. Ordinary speculators pursue enlightenment all the time, so what are the voices in the world about enlightenment?
Everyone has a different way of trading. First of all, you must position yourself. If you want to trade simply, you must give up worrying about gains and losses. For example, if you only use the closing price to operate, there will inevitably be many dazzling opportunities to confuse you. Don't touch good opportunities, only in this way can you establish a simple trading framework, and I think that only a simple trading framework can support the goal of stable profitability.
It’s not because futures are more risky. According to my experience, the risk of futures is not greater than that of stocks. At the same time, the profitability is much higher than that of stocks. Many so-called risks are actually scaring yourself. Especially for retail investors with relatively small funds, without increasing the risk, I feel that it is easier to turn small money into big money by doing futures.
The main reason for quitting the futures market is that futures needs more time to watch the market. For me who wants to make trading a lifelong career, I hope it will bring me financial freedom while taking up as little time as possible. Making money is for enjoying life, isn't it. Lao Tzu said: The avenue is originally wide and flat, but people like to take the winding path. That's the reason.
My enlightenment experience is in the style of Livermore's school, and there are many other styles in the market. I don't know how they enlightened. But Livermore's faction should be the mainstream one, the one that can grow bigger. Judging from the data of the futures competition, most of the weight groups have a similar style. Most of the top few ultra-short-term players are in the light-weight group. It should be noted that if you have done a good job in short-term and band, you should not easily switch to the style of Livermore, because the two styles have different ways of thinking, and it is easy to become a toddler in Handan and do both. not good. The prerequisite for floating profit to increase positions must be to follow the general trend and expect a larger range in the future. It is generally used at the bottom of commodities and requires a lot of patience. If you don't have a plan to hold positions for more than half a year, don't use the strategy of increasing positions with floating profits. Therefore, it is not to say that increasing positions with floating profits is the best strategy. In fact, various strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Don’t think that being enlightened in trading is a particularly profound thing. This is not a state that is difficult to achieve. Many people always think that being enlightened means being able to see through all the market conditions. trade!
In fact, on the contrary, traders who can really achieve success in financial transactions and those who can make stable profits just have a deeper understanding of this matter than most people. They all have a correct cognitive system. Why do many people always I feel that trading is difficult and it is difficult to make money. Let me give you an example like this, and you will understand that trading itself is a highly specialized field, just like a surgeon who performs an operation. Just imagine how a person grows from a young person to a professional doctor. You will understand, this can explain why it is difficult for so many people to enter this market to make money, always feel that this market is difficult, it is difficult because you do not even have basic cognition, you do not even have basic logical cognition Yes, after entering this market for a few months, I want to make money in this market every day. It's like a person who didn't practice boxing came up to fight Tyson, what do you think the result will be, you can imagine it!
In fact, the enlightenment of trading is not only at the level of trading. The market conditions are always ups and downs day after day, year after year, with ups and downs. There are good times and bad times in trading. You need to be humble, not proud, not arrogant. If you lose money in adversity, keep calm, don't be discouraged, don't complain and find out the reason for the loss. Isn't life the same? There are ups and downs, good times and bad times. The way of all things has peaks and valleys.
If a trader wants to make money, his trading behavior needs to conform to the constant laws in the market, which is the unity of man and nature. We want to keep our bodies healthy, and our work and rest habits must be in line with the laws of heaven and earth. We should eat, sleep, and exercise. This is also the unity of nature and man.
In fact, there is not much difference between those who have achieved Taoism and those who have not. Wang Shouren worked as an errand in Longchang, Guizhou before he became enlightened, and he still worked in Longchang, Guizhou after he became enlightened. Although he changed his job position later, even if he didn't get the job position, he would change it when the time came. The real biggest difference is the change of heart. Those who have achieved the Tao will be more open-minded, free and easy, and face gains and losses more indifferently. Looking at the problem will be more insightful and deeper.
