How did you get into investing? How much have you gained so far?

I think my trading journey is very interesting, let me talk to you. A good friend borrowed money from me before going abroad, and then came back from abroad and wanted to pay me back the money. I joked: "Did you get rich? Then give me US dollars." In this way, I had 200 US dollars on hand. Looking at two 100-dollar foreign currency. I was thinking, how to turn her into 2000USD, 20000USD, or even more? I said I can speculate in currency. My friends said I was cute, but I really went for it, and that's how I started.

My starting capital was really this $200, and I started looking up money. Bank websites, related investment websites, some overseas investment information... After accumulating a certain amount of knowledge, I delineated two major investment goals: 1. Bank foreign exchange speculation business; 2. Overseas currency option investment companies. The bank's foreign exchange speculation business is relatively safe and reliable, and there is no need to doubt the legality of its investment. But the disadvantages are also obvious, the point difference is too big, the 200USD investment like me is meaningless, and the operation feasibility is not strong. So my research focused on foreign currency option investment. The term "currency options" is still quite new to me. However, I am confident to study! Then I will solve the problems encountered step by step, such as fund security, platform security, currency knowledge, foreign exchange speculation technology, etc. The process in the middle is very long, so I won’t talk about it. At the beginning of the period, I was out of work, and I basically spent it on researching currencies. The hard work paid off, and I started to make profits, ranging from a dozen dollars to hundreds of dollars. At that time, I felt that I was born to eat this Bowl of rice, it's incredible that you can make money so much, happy, floating, and the operation has begun to be bold.

One night, I saw on a related financial analysis website that at 0:00 in the morning, Bernanke, the famous American financial figure, was about to release some financial data in the United States. I am not very clear about the important impact of the announcement of the data on the currency trend in the later period. I just keep browsing the comments of relevant analysts, and there are different speculations. I think, a big opportunity should come, no matter which direction the ratio of the US dollar to other currencies goes in the future, as long as my judgment is correct, the number on my capital account will rise rapidly! I have experienced this experience in the simulation operation.

I stared at the computer, and the time was getting closer and closer to 0 o'clock... Watching the last few seconds of the time pass, the US dollar-yen index on the disk was heading in the direction I expected... I quickly increased my position and rushed in...Suddenly, Within a few seconds, the index suddenly turned around and went in the opposite direction... and faster and faster... I immediately fainted, and my mind went blank. The funds in my account were instantly liquidated (that is, the loss amount has exceeded the margin I paid, and I was forced to close the position by the exchange to stop trading). Anyone who has experienced liquidation will understand what it feels like at that moment, staring at the computer screen numbly, without any expression or reaction for a long time.

This is my experience, and I hope that newcomers who have just entered the currency industry can learn from my lessons. Trading is a matter of step by step, and it is also a dance with shackles. Whenever you want to put yourself on the shelf, call it "rationality" the shackles.

Seeing this question, I would think that this might be a miserable contest, there is no worst but worse, but in fact, after I have been trading for so long, even though I was cheated into the industry back then, from now on, it is still not The currency chooses me, and I choose the currency.

At the beginning of trading, it is normal to lose money, which affects life and even hurts family members. I am the same, so I don’t want to talk about those experiences. I want to answer this question from another angle.

Everyone has a peak period of loss. It is possible that some friends have not arrived yet and are still heading towards the maximum loss, and some friends have already passed this value and started to recycle. Then what should be done when the loss is not enough? choose?

I am a timid person, I have not invested too much money from the beginning, and I traded in small positions, but even so, I lost nearly 200,000 at most, and my salary was only 70,000 to 80,000 a year. When I lost 100,000 yuan, I was actually thinking about this problem, because I still had no good way to deal with the transaction at that time, so what should I do? Should I trade or give up? If I give up, then the more than 100,000 I lost in trading to the market will be handed over to the market forever. In fact, many people can't let go after losing money. This is a very important reason, but I was not at the time, because I had already understood the sunk cost effect at that time, and I could accept the loss of more than 100,000 yuan that I could not get back. Although my life was not so good, 100,000 yuan was not a lot, but people My life is very long, and I am still young. One hundred thousand yuan may be a lot of money in the short term, but it is just a small lesson in life, so I can accept this point. Give up, no problem.

However, I ended up continuing to trade, why? Because compared to the money lost, giving up is a collapse of faith for me. From the source, I have an income of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year. I can’t starve to death, but I can’t live in style. That’s why I thought about the idea of ​​“doing a side job” at that time, which gave money an opportunity. I entered the business by accident, and then kept walking, because I believed that I could make money, so I kept trading. It can be said that even if I don’t do currency in my situation, I will still be attracted by other things, and when I don’t understand a field , there is a high probability that you will still "pay tuition" at the beginning. So after several years of trading, if I let me give up, this kind of collapse of belief is unacceptable to me, and I have to go back to the beginning, because I want to improve my life, then I must not look for other fields, this possibility The state of going to zero is almost insane. So this is what I always say to others later on, short-term losses are not important, and the collapse of beliefs is what really destroys people's hearts.

So based on this, I came to the conclusion that I still have to continue, but if I continue to continue, I can’t lose like this, because if this happens, my family will be greatly affected by it, so I started my own study and fully studied , and then I was also trading, small transactions, and forced myself to accept the simulated trading. In this way, after a period of time, I lost tens of thousands, and then gradually I started not to liquidate. I can maintain an account for at least half a year. Then slowly make a profit until now.

The good news is that I have almost made back what I lost at the time, but what is more important to me is that this profit can support my beliefs, and I don’t have to worry about the impact of losses anymore. As for How much profit I can make depends on how much the market gives me, and whether the market conditions can fit my system. I am no longer so anxious.

So in my opinion, the real "explosion" is the collapse of belief, the despair of trading, not the loss of funds, and the real "stable profit" is the support of the belief brought by the return, and it is the support of the belief brought about by the return. hope of life.

Are you satisfied with this answer?

Recalling the high spirits back then, I vowed to enter the currency market, dreaming of realizing my wealth and freedom through currency transactions. But now, there is less of the original sharpness, but more of the calmness, and I deeply feel the prospect and difficulty of the transaction. The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.

Entering the market for the first time, ambitious.

I still vaguely remember that when I was in college, I thought about working in the financial industry in the future. As for what finance is, the one who is engaged in the financial industry has no special concept, but just planted a financial seed in his heart. After leaving school, I still feel confused when facing new things, not knowing what I should do or what I can do. I still remember that the first interview job was to do spot silver sales, and the first official job was to work for a platform company called EBC, which was also a currency unit, and here I officially entered the currency industry. It was also in this company that I saw the huge profits in the currency trading industry, and initially came into contact with the technical analysis of currency trading. I also started with trading indicators, various trading indicators and indicator combinations, and the overall profit. This may be the so-called novice BUFF , Since then, I have found my purpose in life.

There is nothing you can do about liquidation losses.

Half a year later, I went to Beijing alone. Unfortunately, my first job was a routine company. The company selected by the currency trading trader ended in a hasty liquidation. During this period, I was still very fascinated by trading technology and kept looking for new trading technology. New analysis methods are full of expectations when encountering good transaction analysis, expecting this is an opportunity to realize the freedom of one's own wealth. The liquidation loss made me realize that trading is not as simple as I imagined, it is not like this, and neither should it be like this.

Trading is never easy.

After a stumble, I entered the most important company in my entire trading career. Basically, my trading philosophy and trading thinking were formed in this company, and I was exposed to deeper industry rules in the currency industry that have nothing to do with transactions, how the currency market works, how traders operate, etc. business knowledge system. Of course, what is more important is the change in trading philosophy, and of course there is also a new trading technique-the trend line. But in this company, we still cannot escape the magic of technical indicators, and the research focus after work is still around indicators, trend lines and other trading tools. Due to the nature of the work of the platform business, the focus of the analysis is to focus on the trend rather than the trend. I want to follow the steps of the teacher and turn over the position in one month (it took a long time to find out that things are not that simple. The account was later proved to be false. The account has nothing to do with the simulated position. different). This company has stayed the longest, and the contacts in the trading circle began to accumulate slowly in this unit. When I was working in the backstage of the platform business, I saw the cruelty of the currency industry. Basically, most of the customers ended up The results all end in liquidation. The biggest influence on me during this period is still trading technology, which has not touched the level of trading philosophy at all. It just cuts into the market from a single point of view, which is also a trading concept that focuses on the position and ignores the trend.

On the road to trading, you know the weather.

After leaving this company, I did not work as a platform business, but entered a trading company. Although the company only provides a trading platform, there is no transmission of new trading ideas at all. It is also in this company that my trading ideas and trading systems are slowly prepared. After you have lost it, you discover the goodness at the beginning. After a long period of losses and unstable trading profits, you will have to think about how to do a good job in trading and how to achieve stable profits in currency trading. Purpose. I paid more attention to the judgment of the trend and the construction of the trading concept, and gradually formed a set of analysis and trading system that fit my personality, and the trading model was gradually formed.

After the trading concept and trading model are formed, the only thing left is continuous improvement and persistence. The huge profits of transactions are never completed in a short period of time, and more likely to be accumulated over a long period of time. I really like a metaphor from a former company boss: the life of a trader is like bamboo, which grew slowly in the past few years because it is taking root, and the deeper the root, the faster and more stable it will grow. This is also the status of the transaction. It is very difficult to achieve wealth freedom in the market when you are just engaged in currency trading. This is precipitation. Only after precipitation can you reap the profits you deserve.

As for the biggest gain from trading, I think it is not just the increase in wealth, but more of a change in your outlook on life and values. The worst case may be considered first in the face of things, which is also the perception of risks in transactions. The market has never been sour and reaping. The so-called planning depends on people to achieve success. The big deal guy is basically a philosopher at the end.

We are born as human beings, let us move forward all the way towards what we want in our hearts, don't ask about the future, but hope that the curtain will end without regret. The deal, I'm still sticking to it.

How did I enter the field of foreign exchange investment back then? It's a bit embarrassing to say.

As you said in the subject, every friend who enters the foreign exchange market comes with the dream of financial freedom; in fact, not only the foreign exchange market, but also the futures market and stock market, investors in the entire investment market all come with the dream of financial freedom. The dream of financial freedom comes from here.

Back then, I also came here with the dream of financial freedom, but I was the first to enter the stock market instead of the foreign exchange market. After two rounds of bull-bear transitions in the stock market, although I have made some money, I am facing an investment bottleneck: to make a real fortune in the stock market, you can either be an analyst like Zhao Xiaoyun or Liao Yingqiang, or you can be Xu Xiang , Feng Liu, a private equity brother. For the former, I lack eloquence, and I am not too busy with this kind of "deception" work; for the latter, because the establishment of a private equity fund requires a certain scale, I have not yet achieved this.

When I was at a loss in my life, when I participated in the "Money Is King" International Financial Forum in 2016, I realized that Mr. Qiu Chunming, who was digging the first pot of gold in the foreign exchange market at that time, began to feel that the foreign exchange market has a strong The leverage is suitable for people like me who have encountered development bottlenecks in the stock market.

So, I started to learn foreign exchange knowledge at that time. After more than a year of study and establishment of my own trading system, and after passing a series of data backtests, I officially entered the field of foreign exchange in 2018.

Although the time to enter the field of foreign exchange is still short, due to this year's "live for a long time" event (since my trading system mainly focuses on the US dollar, and the US dollar's ups and downs due to the impact of the epidemic from February to March this year made participants The person seems to have passed away), so the impression is very deep. So far, although the income on the account is not much, the understanding of leverage is full of income; I believe that as time goes by, as long as we can persist, the dream of financial freedom will no longer be a dream but a reality.

Let alone foreign exchange at the beginning, I just didn’t know much about stocks. A complete noob.

After the new year in 2016, I started to look for a job again. At that time, I wanted to find a job quickly and stabilized temporarily, so I started to brush resumes on various recruitment websites and deliver a large number of resumes. But the result is that most of them are recruited by insurance companies. I personally know a little about the business routines of insurance companies, so I am particularly disgusted. Most of the rest are not particularly ideal. When I was depressed, I received a recruiting call from a certain (in order to maintain privacy, omitted) company, saying that it was a recruiting agent with a high commission, so I asked to learn more about it.

So I came to this company and learned that they are engaged in foreign exchange business, and what they want is a salesman. The basic salary and commission are relatively good, and this kind of business does not need to go out in the wind and rain. run. Basically met my expectations, so I readily agreed.

When I first started to go to work, the teacher was responsible for the simple technical knowledge training for those of us who had just entered the industry, and there were also veteran salesman team leaders and managers who were responsible for training business development. Since I haven't touched it before, I feel very novel.

In this way, I started to learn slowly while doing business. I felt that the teacher at that time was really good, and all kinds of professional terms came out of my mouth. If I didn’t understand, I could only go to Baidu.

After working for about half a year, I had some savings in my hands. I also thought that I would be idle anyway, so I opened an account for fun, so I opened the first account on the company’s agency platform, depositing 500 U.S. dollars, but follow the teacher's operation. I earned 300 in the first month, and doubled it before I used it up in the second month. At that time, I was so happy that I didn't want it, so I hurriedly withdrew the money to treat my colleagues to dinner. With the remaining 500 US dollars, I want to continue to make money from it.

But then encountered the wave of decline that started in November 2016, and the account was liquidated in less than a week. Later, another $500 was invested, and the account was liquidated again in less than a week. Continuous liquidation, the blow to confidence is almost gone. Also stop playing.

I haven't touched this thing much until now.

I have been in the foreign exchange industry for more than a year. I entered Huihu last year. At that time, it was not long before I came into contact with foreign exchange. In fact, I first came into contact with this because some classmates were doing this. When I graduated from university, some classmates speculated in stocks. After that, I started to do foreign exchange, and then I posted some of his profit charts in our small group (there were few boys in college, and there were two dormitory boys in one group), so I stepped into the field of foreign exchange. Another thing I want to say is that I am not actually a finance major, but during college, our courses are more complicated. Your financial courses such as macroeconomics, microeconomics, and finance are also in our schedule. Even our There are also legal courses such as economic law in the curriculum, which is incredible (maybe you can guess what major we are).

Then it said that there were few people who really played investment in college. At that time, they only knew how to do some part-time jobs, or sell equipment in games (are there any Warcraft players?), and they didn’t rely on financial investment at all. The classmate who led us into the financial circle was actually a half-baked stock trader when he was in college. Everything has to start with graduation. After graduation, many people in our class went to Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Then, for a while, this stock speculator began to post his profit charts in our boys group. At that time, it was mainly some stocks. There are also futures, I didn't care about it at the time. Then after a while, a few male students in Shenzhen also started to post some income charts in the group. At that time, a buddy in the same dormitory was still talking in our dormitory group, just what the stock speculator buddy said to buy, and then they said No matter what you buy, you invest a small amount of money anyway. After they sent it a few times, they bought it together with them, gradually changing from stocks to futures.

See if there is a feeling of deja vu, but fortunately, the ending of the story is not that we were cheated, but that the classmate who led us into the venue lost money. After that, everyone stopped following and didn’t say much in that group Excuse me. You said that sometimes this person is quite cheap. When something good happens, everyone is too active. When the leader falls into the canyon, the crowd suddenly becomes quiet.

Afterwards, this classmate changed his job to do foreign trade in Shenzhen. We talked privately a few times and learned that he no longer does stocks, but instead does futures and foreign exchange. This is the first time that foreign exchange has officially entered my field of vision. After that, I haven’t heard any news about him until now. I just heard from other students that he went back to his hometown of Xiamen, and his father asked him to take the exam.

Let me talk about my difficult foreign exchange road. 5 years ago, a friend around me got into this business by mistake, and my life has been confused and dark since then. What I first came into contact with was domestic spot silver. At that time, the domestic plates were all bets, which I only learned later. The first platform is Tiantong Bank, which requires 100,000 yuan to open an account. Before I knew it, it cost 200,000 yuan to open an account. The person in charge of the company said that we had caught up with the good times, and was very excited at the time. 100,000 was almost all of my savings at that time. In the first few days, I made thousands of dollars by following the teacher in a daze, and I didn't understand what it meant. I was born with a strong curiosity about new things, and I had to figure it out, so I became obsessed day by day. Gradually, I found that the teacher frequently called for orders, and did not earn much, except for the handling fee. He lost a lot of money when he came to non-agricultural work. The non-agricultural teacher took everyone back and forth to do it, which was thrilling. In less than 3 months, there are only more than 4,000 left in the account, which is considered to be a long life for me. During that time, I went to work during the day and speculated in silver at night, often stayed up late, and didn't care about work. In the end, I quit my job, lost my money and my body collapsed. But at that time, I was not too sad. I always believed that through study and hard work, I would make back the money I lost, so I downloaded study materials from the Internet every day and studied very hard. If I put this learning spirit in high school, why not worry about failing the exam Get into a good college. Why! Now think about how naive and horrible that is.

At that time, I continued to do it while learning, and I kept making deposits, making profits and losses, and the losses were always more than the profits. Closing down one platform for another, including silver, commodities, chemical platforms, etc. In this way, almost 7 domestic platforms were closed down, and each platform ended up losing money. Later, it became a gold platform in Hong Kong, but fortunately it did not go bankrupt. In 15 years, my father suffered from cancer, chemotherapy after surgery, and finally persisted for a few months. I stayed at home for a year, watching the whole process of the old man from chatting and laughing to dying, that period of suffering, pain, heart-wrenching, and now I can vividly remember it. What was even more uncomfortable was that on July 20, more than 6,000 US dollars were liquidated. At the end of 2015, my father passed away, and I had nothing left after the funeral.

In the past few years, I have lost all the money to buy a house. Later, as long as I have money, I want to put it on the platform. Whatever I do is wrong. Those who should take the long-term will leave early, and those who should stop the loss will die. The spirit is poor, like taking drugs, and I can't extricate myself from it. How many people have persuaded them to leave this business, but they don't want to do anything until now, even if they don't have money, they don't trade, and they pay attention to the market every day. Is it interesting to ask yourself? No one can understand. No one around me is engaged in this business anymore, and there is nowhere to tell my friends, who can empathize with me. Besides, I am also a person who is used to being lonely, and I don't have many friends.

What was said before is so miserable, is there a reversal later? No. This is the reality. I have lost a lot, but I can't quit permanently. The profit and loss make me always have hope, so I can't get out. This is my story, I think many people have the same experience as me, so when you enter this industry, you really have to think carefully, set a bottom line for yourself to lose money, and when you reach that number, quit forever, don’t be lucky, this market , Turning against the wind is really just a slogan.

How much do you gain? Do you mean income? or something else? . . . .

What about income? Then I can answer you now, I have never entered the foreign exchange market, it should be said that I have never traded with my own funds, because I have seen too many unbearable cases and lessons in the past few years. On the one hand, it is technical, and on the other hand, it is about the foreign exchange environment. How should I put it? Because retail foreign exchange is not a legal industry in China, illegal means that your account is not supervised and protected by the government, and your funds will not be safe. Supervision, how good the platform is, and how good the platform will not run away, these are basically nonsense in my opinion, because I have seen many examples of various problems on the platform, so I have never done it in the past few years. Trading, of course, there is no income as you mentioned.

Well, is there really no gain, is there really no transaction? Not exactly. Although I don’t use my own funds to trade, it doesn’t mean I haven’t done trades. I’ve done a lot of trades, and the operations are all on clients’ accounts.

As for how I got into this industry, it’s a bit like an oral history. In fact, I started to enter this industry as soon as I graduated, because I studied this major. I remember my teacher told me this when I was studying and training in Hong Kong. In a word, I am very impressed, that is, I just graduated and entered a company for an internship. During the internship, the teacher said, you just graduated and you don’t need to know too much technical things now. The first thing you have to do is to I forgot all the things I learned in school, (I am still depressed that I have learned for so many years and you let me forget, my graduation thesis has not been revised yet) and then showed us a movie about Wall Street finance, watched After about a week or so, I started to study and train. The teacher told us that a trader is a trader and an analyst is an analyst. These are completely different concepts and must be distinguished. If you combine the two If you are in one part, you must not be able to do well in the other part. It was only after a period of time that I really understood the meaning of this sentence. . . . It is omitted here, and has been engaged in market technical guidance work so far.

Speaking of entering this market, to be honest, I really feel a little regretful.

Personally speaking, when I was in school, I did not study finance, but science and engineering. After graduating, I worked in a factory, which is considered a professional job. But later, due to hard work and relatively low wages, I left.

In 2008, a very good friend of mine told me that I should follow him to do stocks, saying that the stock market is full of money, and it is up to you whether you have the ability to make money. At that time, he was also "poor and short-sighted". Out of trust in his friend, he decisively followed him into the stock market and invested 10,000 yuan at that time. The first time I saw the big market and K-line, I was really confused, but I saw my friend concentrate on the operation. I also learned slowly.

At the beginning, I thought, well, this job is good, and I can make money with a computer, which is great. So I started to start stocks full-time with my friends. But in fact, it is really not that easy to make money in the stock market, and there are often no particularly good opportunities. At the same time, because I am doing this full-time, most of the time it is short-term trading. This continued for more than half a year, until the money lost was almost spent, and I left the market.

But although I left, I was attracted by the charm of stocks. I bought a bound volume (pirated version) of "Short-term is Silver" by Mr. Tang Nengtong at a roadside stall. I started to learn from the basics in my spare time, and made notes and notes for each chapter. I read the entire bound volume over and over again for more than a year.

In 2010, I received a message from my friends again, saying that they would take me to work together, wrap up, or do finance. Later, he started to contact domestic commodities again with him, did business for a period of time, and began to change hands as an analyst and trader. Later, due to the control and suppression of the domestic bulk market by the state, it began to move to the foreign exchange market, which has continued to this day.

During this process, I also made money, my account doubled, and I also lost money, and the liquidation ended. The intermittent whole has not recovered the cost until today. In fact, my friend told me that in terms of my personality, I am more suitable to be an analyst than a trader.

On the whole, along the way, I deeply realized that once I entered the foreign exchange market, it was as deep as the sea, and finally I shed a handful of bitter tears.

So I would like to advise everyone, first, do not enter the market blindly, and second, position yourself as a trader or an analyst.

Seeing this question, the past happened again.

Of course, the original intention of doing foreign exchange is to make money. When I was young, my family was poor, and my parents always instilled the concept of "no money", which made me think about making money when I grow up. When I was in college, I learned a little economics and came into contact with stocks, thinking that this is a good way to make money. But everyone knows the big A shares, it is really boring to operate, and there is no bull market at all.

In the next few years, spot silver was very popular, but there were too many platforms that grew wildly, and the risks were also great. At that time, I also realized that this product has high leverage, high volatility, and two-way trading. So he decisively gave up stock speculation and switched to silver speculation. But in fact, I don’t have much experience in trading. Compared with stock trading, the risk of two-way and high leverage is too great. (Some people may question the high risk of two-way, but this is a fact. Two-way means that you must have an additional analytical thinking, unlike stocks, I just think about when to buy)

Due to my unfamiliarity with the market, and the fact that gold and silver fell after the Fed implemented QE at that time, I repeatedly lost money in buying silver. But instead of stopping the loss, he increased his position against the trend. All the mistakes made by novices have been made, and the money has been lost. I was sad for a while, and then the platform also ran away. With the country's rectification of such platforms, spot silver has gradually dimmed.

But I have seen the benefits of this trading model. Although I have made many mistakes, I always believe that if I lose money, I will make it back. So I started to come into contact with foreign exchange, which is almost the same as the trading mode of spot silver. After fully understanding the advantages of foreign exchange, I started the road of foreign exchange trading. The use of MT4 software makes me feel very convenient. I have also changed several platforms and used various leverages, and I am still struggling in this market.

In terms of harvest, in fact, I didn't make any money. But that doesn't mean there is no gain. On the way of trading, I have borrowed money, escaped debt, made big profits, and experienced a lot of big losses. It also made me more aware of the essence of life. In fact, simple contentment is enough. Although dreams cannot be given up, nothing can be forced. Regarding trading, I hope that novice friends will still be a little bearish. You can learn, you can exercise, but don't live by it. Icing on the cake is the best word, if you can get even an extra $1,000 a month, that's great.

Entering the foreign exchange market is not so much an accidental opportunity, but an inevitable result.

Personally speaking, my family is poor and ugly, and I have a rural household registration. My experience as a child made me have a greater desire for money than ordinary people. After graduating from school, I have been going around without my ideal job. The work on the assembly line makes me feel boring and challenging. Not to mention the working environment, the words dirty and messy are not enough to give an overview. Although there was a neat and clean assembly line job later, it was never the type of work I longed for.

Until later, when I heard other people talk about the stock market, their eyes always showed excitement and anticipation, so I also wondered more and more what kind of place this is. When I walked into the trading hall for the first time, I saw the numbers flickering and jumping on the big screen, and I felt more novelty in my heart.

But I know that no matter what you do, you must first understand this thing, so I started to look for relevant information on the Internet, and bought a copy of "Japanese Candle Chart", and started to understand and learn about the investment market.

When I finished reading a book, I felt that this market was nothing more than that, it was no big deal, and making money could not be easier, so I opened my first stock account with all my savings. When I really started the formal operation with anxiety and excitement, I realized that the ideal is very full, and the reality is always so skinny. It's either a quilt or a small profit and short-term exit. Such a result can be imagined, and the four-word summary-failure ended.

But I am not such a person who admits defeat so easily, so I began to reflect on what went wrong with me. It must be because I am not good at learning. Then I started to look for information on the Internet, such as Gann's theory, Dow Theory, and I started to learn everything according to the order. Every time after learning, when reviewing the game with the board, I always feel that it is so accurate, but when it comes to the actual operation, it is repeatedly defeated.

It wasn’t until later when I came into contact with the foreign exchange market that I realized that it is more attractive than stocks, more operable, and the investment is not too large. It can be operated with only 500 US dollars. The two-way trading mechanism and the T+0 mode, All very attractive things.

Give up stocks and switch to foreign exchange!

In this way, learning while trading has continued until now. The process is always the same, and it is so boring, so just skip it again. I believe that many people have come along the way.

As for the harvest, the most basic thing is that I have learned a lot, but the lack of money seems to have little fate with me. This can't be blamed on others, but my own discipline and execution ability, which are still not in place.

But I firmly believe that I will definitely get better and better.

Dear Hui friends, long time no see. I am not easy to Hui. A while ago, due to a lot of personal matters, I have been on hiatus for a while. Please forgive me, fans.

It seems that I have been in the market for quite a long time, maybe seven or eight years. Let me talk about my trading experience, and I have the right to make a simple review of my trading career.

I joined a securities company after graduating in 1998. Do you think I think the reason why I took the path of a trader? At that time, we were in the era of Nanlei and Beizhao. We went the wrong way at the beginning, full of technology, and we couldn't get back if we wanted to change in the middle. In 2007, when the first wave of public fund managers went to the climax of private equity, they joined a private equity company by chance. They originally wanted to learn authentic value investing, but found that the value guys couldn’t handle the wave of 6,000 to 1,600. , collective loss Chengxiang, but a group of technical friends drew a few lines and easily avoided the big drop. This subverted my worship of value. Later, when I thought about it, Jiuyin White Bone Claw practiced well, You should be able to cross the rivers and lakes, no one stipulates that you must learn the Nine Suns Magic Art. Well, after such a delay, you should forget about jobs like researcher and fund manager. If you look down on others and you, then you can only be a trader honestly. Start with stocks first. I lost a lot of money, and then came into contact with futures precious metals. I wrote some precious metal analysis articles before. If you are interested, you can read them. I am more or less a professional. Some routines, including some fake technical indicators, are all tricked by retail investors to go in and take orders. The more you have contact, the more you will naturally know. The more you respect the market, go up and down, and finally slowly enter the foreign exchange market I also finally found a relatively fair and just market, a market that cannot be controlled by the main force or institutions, a relatively flexible market, and a place where I really have the opportunity to see the essence of the market clearly. ​

I may not be suitable to say this sentence, and I am not like other big guys. I can mention that in the past, I only came into contact with the foreign exchange industry because of my boyfriend, and it was still this year, so how about this year, I have no right to speak.

Since I have been in the foreign exchange industry, I have joined many groups, and I will find that most of the discussions in the groups are not very enthusiastic, or the content of the discussions is not so "professional", and I feel that many of them are salesmen , There may not be so many people who actually do transactions.

In other words, everyone has a purpose, and no one wants to really communicate.

I dare not think about financial freedom, otherwise people will be too drifting. Many people who do foreign exchange trading come from the stock market. Because it is too difficult to make money in A-shares, foreign exchange, as a niche market, naturally carries the hope of some sad retail investors.

However, the reality is still so ruthless. If you cannot make money in the stock market, it often means that you will not make money in foreign exchange very smoothly.

My experience is a bit weird, it's a coincidence. In 2015, when all the people traded in stocks, I also got on the bus. I just got into it when the stock index was more than 5100 points.

Since the initial capital is very small and there is no way to make quick money, thinking about increasing the amount of funds, I fell into the big pit of OTC allocation. This was probably when the market was at 5400 points.

Later, even when the allocation of funds was hit and the index collapsed, I also lost all my capital. Later, when the national team rescued the market, I just watched and thought about how to get back the lost money.

At this time, I saw the advertisement of the foreign exchange platform, and then I was hooked. In the past few years, I have played real foreign exchange intermittently. Since the principal invested is very small, I am making a profit and losing money. As for the money lost in A shares, it should be regarded as tuition fees.

I may be luckier than others because I have a teacher.

The teacher mentioned here is a real teacher. He works as an English teacher in our university. At first I didn't know that he actually started his own business, and it was in foreign exchange. After discovering this, I took the initiative to find a teacher to teach me the knowledge of foreign exchange.

This is considered an introduction, and later I also followed the teacher to help in his company. On the one hand, I continued to learn knowledge and trading, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a job. Because he is an English teacher, he is very familiar with these emerging things, and he often translates information and books in foreign languages ​​by himself, which is of great help to me. He has also studied trading tactics himself, and the overall effect is good.

After all, I have been with the teacher for three or four years now, and I can almost make a stable profit myself. Speaking of it, I am very grateful to the teacher. Of course, in the first two years, mistakes and losses continued year after year. Fortunately, with the supervision and guidance of the teacher, up to now, the problems of novices and some weaknesses of human nature have been basically overcome. But to do better, I still have a long way to go.

Of course, the most rewarding thing is the teacher's guidance, which made me develop a character that is neither impatient nor impatient. On the other hand, money is more about the sublimation of human character and realm. Bring the psychology of trading into your life, and be more patient with the trivial matters of life, and you will find that the world is very different.

It was 11 years when I came into contact with foreign exchange. At that time, I just started to smear the foreign exchange market. Then I gathered a few friends who were engaged in stocks to do it together, and invested hundreds of thousands of dollars. Haha) I started with a Hong Kong account, and you can basically see the final outcome. After the liquidation was over, a friend of mine didn’t believe in evil, and with the determination not to hit the south wall and not look back, he took 16 to play RMB Gambling on non-farm wages, wanting to get back the money, but the ending is still a liquidation, it is tears to say.

From then on, I started to part ways and stopped playing with my friends. Half a year later, I still broke my position. I was also doing gold at that time. I remember that it should be the time when Obama was re-elected. Simply becoming gold is good news, so I plan to gamble on my expectations. , Unexpectedly, the number of hands is a bit heavy, and it has been falling. After doing this intermittently for several years, the confidence in trading has dropped again and again.

In 2013, I started to learn all kinds of foreign exchange knowledge, such as game space, trend trading method, turtle trading method, and various indicators, such as butterfly indicator, double M top, MACD divergence, etc., etc., in fact, it will be very hot It should be a game space. Many people recognized this system and planned to spend some money to learn this face-to-face lecture, but because I still had my own job at the time, I temporarily gave up this idea.

After that, I also found other people to learn from, and I kept thinking about it, and finally built a trading system that I was relatively satisfied with in 15 years. At that time, I used Dukascopy, but later the domestic network was too stuck. The experience was really bad, and I was forced to switch to IC. At that time, IC was very friendly to Huiyou inland. I believe that Huiyou who used IC before knows that these are my true stories. There is absolutely no embellishment, yes What kept me going for so long? Maybe I really like it, but I can’t tell. Sometimes it’s like this when doing business, you can’t afford it, and you can’t let it go.

It is said that the reason why I entered the foreign exchange market back then was accidental: a beautiful younger sister was in charge of foreign exchange trading at the Bank of China, and it happened that she asked me for a performance task that year, so I took part of the funds from The stock account is divided to engage in foreign exchange. Of course, my younger sister became famous later, and I did not engage in formal foreign exchange business in the bank anymore.

But it was that contact that made me understand all aspects of foreign exchange, especially its unique huge leverage, T+0 and 24-hour trading, which are simply unmatched by the stock market. So after that, I slowly started my foreign exchange investment career, that is, I slowly evolved from a professional stockholder to a professional foreign exchange trader.

The transition process during this period was actually not smooth. Because I am used to long-term thinking in the stock market, I often only do long and not short in the foreign exchange market, which not only misses many opportunities, but also causes a lot of losses. But with the gradual improvement of the trading system, especially after I came into contact with EA, I began to write the trading system into a program, and use the program to complete the investment operation.

Now, I basically don't keep an eye on the market, and I am constantly considering the trading system every day, and constantly improve and upgrade, so more time is spent on review and data backtesting. I want to believe that as long as I persist, one day, my trading system will bring me a steady stream of wealth.

It has been 4 years since it entered the market at the end of September. I entered the market because I wanted to try domestic futures 4 years ago. I searched the Internet and found that foreign exchange margin trading is such a thing abroad, so I fell into the pit.

Once entering the foreign exchange market, it is as deep as the sea, and life and death are boundless for ten years. Fortunately for me, I searched for Jiaqiang as soon as I entered the market, and I never changed it again. So far, I have not suffered from the loss of the platform.

In the first two years, I worked hard and never tired of learning, various ideas, theories, strategies, indicators, methods, tools...even self-taught to write EA.

In the third year, I have repeatedly honed one thing: light storage! Resolutely light warehouse! Always light positions!

In the fourth year, I basically forgot all the things I learned before, and I hardly read financial consulting and trading books. There is only one cognition about the foreign exchange market: the market is nothing but shocks. For foreign exchange trading, we also uphold a concept: light positions and patience.

At present, the overall profit is profitable, and I am still enthusiastic about trading, but I feel extremely lonely.

Trading is not easy.
mutual encouragement!

I came into contact with foreign exchange trading in about 2008. The server at that time was slow, the network speed was slow, and the spread was high, especially the cross trading. All old foreign exchange friends know that the spread of cross trading is scary. There are no so-called bonuses or full rebates. Everyone wants to catch the trend and make money to cover the spread, so I personally feel that the previous profit seems to be more difficult? But the wool comes from the sheep. There are no kind wolves in the world. The essence of today’s traders is not much different from before. I dare say that after so many years of trading, I have never seen an absolute pure A platform. Basically nonexistent, after all, retail investors account for the majority, and the loss of goods is the majority!

Just kidding, financial freedom is required to make a deal? Then I set up a street stall just to be the second Jack Ma?

For many people, trading is just an entertainment game, it can pass the boring time, and when you are lucky, you can also earn some money for grocery shopping, and all these are enough.

It's just that the transaction itself has an aura of sudden wealth, just like buying a lottery ticket. The magic power generated by these makes most people have unrealistic fantasies. Only individual retail investors who are obsessed with bicycles enter BMW and come out. Only thinking about financial freedom, most people still have this self-knowledge.

How to enter this way? It's simply an advertisement. Although it is a dark industry, agents and brokers can't stop them from being dedicated. They try their best to place advertisements and hold mysterious investment lectures. If you are a middle-class leisure class, you will be hooked.

As for the harvest, if they rushed into the black platform, they would be cut off directly, which was a lot of misery. Even if it is a safe platform, after some operations, I am afraid that I will lose more and earn less.

Of course, after all, the capital strength of the rich is there, even if they lose money, they will have a long life cycle, and only Xiao San left with tears.

However, under the law of survivor bias, there are always a few people who make money, and they become winners. This is where the temptation of trading lies.
