Looking at the photos on my phone today, I saw an old photo:
This is a photo of me participating in an offline event in the summer of 2018 (I have participated in a total of two similar events). Actually, I don’t like participating in this kind of event, but they put out a slogan at the time, to the effect that: link every A trading island ...
This passage really touched my heart. Trading is really lonely. Every trader is an isolated island, especially those who do foreign exchange.
If you speculate in stocks, you can still find some stockholders to communicate with, but when it comes to foreign exchange, you can hardly find anyone to communicate with, especially if you can’t find experts who can communicate with you or give you advice.
I remember that in 2018, I encountered many problems in trading and was very confused. I wanted to participate in this event and get to know the masters from all over the country.
But I'm really disappointed, there isn't even a master... because I have been doing it for so many years, I have that keen feeling:
As long as you talk to me about the transaction for more than three minutes, I will know whether you are a parallel importer or a master.
I suddenly remembered why I entered the foreign exchange industry. I like investing. Shouldn’t I be investing in stocks?
It should be that I came to Guangzhou just after graduating from university and just started working. It was actually a very painful beginning:
At that time, when a foreigner came to Guangzhou, it could be said that he had no relatives. What was even worse was that the colleagues around him were all Guangzhou locals, and their daily communication was in Cantonese. Everyone should know that feeling:
Cantonese is the language of birds. You have no idea what they are talking about, and you feel like a deaf person, or an outsider, unable to integrate into your work at all.
At that time, I was super lonely, I had no friends, I didn’t even know anyone, I didn’t know what to do after get off work every day, I could only turn on the computer to watch the news, and then I found a movie to watch.
Although I didn’t get home until after 7 o’clock in the evening, the hours from 7 o’clock to 12 o’clock are actually very difficult to pass, and I can’t find a girlfriend. At this time, I found that speculating in foreign exchange is a good way to pass the time. It is the time when foreign exchange fluctuates most violently.
But who knew that this game that was purely for killing time was extremely expensive, and basically all the money earned from working in the bank was sucked away by him.
As soon as you enter Houmen, it's as deep as the sea!
Foreign exchange speculation is really caused by loneliness, but it will further aggravate your loneliness: I don’t seem to see many other people in the whole year of 2022.
In the past, occasionally fans and friends wanted to come to my place to communicate, and occasionally I would agree to their invitation to come and drink tea together.
But then almost no, why?
Because this kind of communication has almost no value, everyone's thinking level is completely different, it is very difficult to communicate, and they are not talking about the same thing at all.
One of the most troublesome things about being a trader is not knowing what to do with your time - here's a paradox:
We need to have a lot of time every day, and we should not be too busy, because we need time to think, and we need to think slowly. But after too much time, people will be more lonely and don't know how to pass the time.
The time to actually place an order and watch the market does not need too much time. It is almost three or four hours a day. Of course, you must squat in front of the computer at critical moments.
To pass the time, I used to like chasing dramas, watching American dramas, Japanese dramas, and watching movies. It's too bad that this hobby is gone now. I haven't seen "Avatar 2" in theaters yet, which was unimaginable before.
This state is unbearable for ordinary investors, and it is a huge mental torture.
So today I said to a friend: The little money we make in trading is completely a mental loss fee given to us by the market.
