Why do many people in trading study Taoist or Buddhist theories?

It is still related to the transaction itself, because a lot of psychological activities are involved behind the transaction, and the buying and selling decision is a direct product of the psychological activities of each participant. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they themselves are rich in thought theories and have a natural basis for being accepted by traders.

In addition to trading, many people in life go to Buddha and worship Buddha just like doing business. If you offer a few fruits, you hope that Buddha and Bodhisattva will bless your children to be admitted to college; how about this?

In fact, this has something to do with the history of the development of Buddhism. Since Buddhism was introduced into China, with the development of society, it has gradually evolved into the Buddhism of scholar-bureaucrats and folk Buddhism. Those who really understand Buddhist teachings are limited to monks and a few scholar-bureaucrats. Folk Buddhism is more of a "Buddhism of worship". Just going to the monastery to burn incense and pray to Buddha for peace, the understanding of Buddhism remains at a mysterious and vague stage, and this phenomenon still exists today.

People have different understandings and appeals to Buddhism, so they present different images. Nowadays, the image of Buddhism in the hearts of the world comes more from various film and television works, most of which are biased, distorted or even completely wrong.

The Diamond Sutra says that if you see the appearance but not the appearance, you will see the Tathagata.

The meaning is very clear, the truth is there, if you can have no subjective form, feeling, thought, and action (that is, all five aggregates are empty), you have seen the truth.

How can such great wisdom be applied to trading?

The truth of the evolution of the market is clearly displayed on the disk. The so-called "strong or weak", or even "up or down", "more or less" are all subjective opinions of human beings.

The reason why most traders have strong and weak, up and down, long and short, bull and bear... these words are because human beings have already had a mind of discrimination. With the mind of discrimination, the appearance of dwelling is produced.

For example, for 5-minute level operations, the previous 5-minute K-line closed at 10,000 points, and the current 5-minute K-line closed at 10,050 points. The current 5-minute K-line—we have the phase of the previous K-line and the phase of the current K-line in our hearts, that is, the phase of living.

People will say that with such a residence, one can operate and trade according to such a reference system. Is there anything wrong?

It seems correct, but in fact it is not so simple to understand. For example, in the above example, you have the subjectivity of rising in your mind. Then people will say that they are compared, and the fact is that they are rising. Isn't this an objective existence? This is actually impermanence in impermanence, that is, a short stay in eternal change. Lao Tzu and Buddha said that there is permanence that can be used magically.

What is the magical effect? The magical effect is to distinguish at the moment, but not to stay in appearance. That is to say, a comparison can be made between two K-lines. After the comparison is over, forget it, and immediately return to the present moment and pay attention to the present moment. Then there will be no signs of rising.

We have seen the ups and downs of the market, which is caused by the discrimination of our human beings. What did the Buddha see? It’s just such a picture, he won’t talk about up and down, because he doesn’t have the concept of up and down in his heart, he just says to follow this moving average. Because of our human discrimination, we named up and down or long and short, so online, we temporarily named it long and offline short, which is just a name and a falsehood.

This is the Tao, there is no discrimination, just go with the flow, and the transaction is nothing more than that-constantly change direction (inflection point, yin and yang), only follow the change of direction, and profits will come naturally.

The so-called "Awakening is enlightenment, awakening is Bodhi", always remind yourself and correct yourself. Investment has no past and future, it is eternal.

Master, do you know what was the first thing I thought of when I saw your title? Did you think of why many great scientists in history ended up studying theology?

Give me an example, Newton, you know? Known as the "father of modern physics", he is an encyclopedia-style "all-rounder": in mechanics, Newton clarified the principle of conservation of momentum and angular momentum, and proposed Newton's law of motion; in optics, he invented the reflecting telescope, And developed the color theory; in mathematics, Newton shared the honor of developing calculus with Gottfried William Leibniz; in economics, Newton proposed the gold standard system.

It is such a great man of science who is so awesome that he lived to be 80 years old. He studied science for the first 40 years, but was obsessed with theology for the next 40 years. Why do you say?

Give another example, Einstein, you know? He proposed the light quantum hypothesis, which solved the problem of the photoelectric effect; the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity he founded had an epoch-making effect on our human science and technology civilization society, and was selected as the "Great Man of the Century" by the American "Time Magazine"!

It is the greatest scientist so far who believes in God and studies theology in his later years. What is the reason for this?

Although the two scientific gods, Newton and Einstein, are far apart in age, they are surprisingly similar: they both made indelible contributions to the development of global science, and why did they both abandon theory and turn to theology in the end? . Is it the end of their talents in their later years, or the end of science is theology?

neither! A large amount of statistical data shows that these scientists who turned to theology in their later years studied very profound issues in their previous lives, and when this research reached a certain stage, this ceiling could not be broken, so they pinned their thoughts on theology.

Theology, or religion, is essentially a discipline of mind training, and both Christianity and Buddhism have methods leading to this path. It is helpful to look through books on this subject. For example, Christ is realized through forgiveness and repentance; Buddhism is realized through practice, and Buddhism is more in line with the mentality of the Eastern people.

In fact, whether it is from Einstein's theory of relativity or the quantum entanglement theory that is still debated until now, we can find that some of them have a certain connection with the current Taoist metaphysics and Buddhism. Everything in the universe is attributed to This kind of connection, that is to say, this kind of core thing determines the truth of the universe, especially the Buddhist theory, which is simply the ultimate science. Zong, life itself is a small universe!

Having said that, I believe the subject owner should have gained something! When science can’t be explained, scientists use theology to understand it; in the same way, everyone actually wants to find the holy grail of profit in trading, but unfortunately this is impossible to find (investment is probability, there is no 100 % accuracy rate); in this way, over time, many people who do business will end up studying theology, but the West focuses on God, while we in the East study Taoist or Buddhist theories.

Finally, think about it, great scientists still study theology in the end, so what is so strange about doing business and studying Taoist or Buddhist theories in the end?

The subject, in fact, not many people study Taoism or Buddhist theories at the end of the transaction. As far as I know, investors in Europe and the United States like to study the Bible and astrology, and small Japanese investors like to study philosophy or religion. Finally, traders in my country like to study Buddhism, Taoism, and even Confucianism. Thought!

But whether it is the Bible, philosophy, or even Confucianism and Taoism, everyone has one thing in common: that is the category of national studies in their country. So, what is the reason why investors from all over the world finally divorced from the transaction itself, and pursued some Chinese studies that seem to have little to do with the transaction?

Here, let me talk about some of my humble opinions: I personally think that there are two reasons: one is that these Chinese theories are indeed useful for trading; the other is to acquire a belief through learning and establish a belief that supports traders to go on.

First: These Chinese theories are indeed useful for trading

From the first point of view, in fact, every country with a history has its cultural heritage, which is its national studies. Since it can become a cultural inheritance, it certainly has great principles and can stand the test of time; no matter how long it takes, it can be applied to everything.

Do not believe? Let's take a few famous Confucian and Taoist sentences as examples.

1. "Laozi" by Li Er in the pre-Qin period: You are as shocked as you are by favor or humiliation, and you are as much troubled as you are. What is flattery? Pets come first. To be humiliated is to be inferior, to be astonished by what you gain, and to be astonished by what you lose.

More than 2,500 years ago, Lao Tzu never knew that there was such investment as stocks and futures, but this sentence expresses the kingly way of investment: the most important thing to do in trading is to maintain a peaceful mind on the basis of correct analysis of the general trend, and not to be overjoyed , Don't be sad by falling, as the saying goes, don't be surprised by favor or humiliation, and don't be surprised by ups and downs. The short-term market trend is unpredictable, and the price fluctuates all the time. If the price rises, you want to sell and cash in; If you don’t have a vicious circle mentality, then you will never be able to do a good deal! The overall situation and the correct mentality are always the core elements of traders! !

2. Pre-Qin Li Er's "Tao Te Ching": Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, and it is evil; everyone knows that good is good, and this is not good.

For this sentence, I am afraid that all small and medium investors, especially stockholders, have the deepest understanding: when everyone thinks that it will continue to rise, the dealer is actually already shipping, so how can it rise? Then it should fall! When everyone thinks that there will be a sharp drop and they will be cut out, in fact, the dealer is already buying, so where can it fall? So it should be ready to go up!

One of the most popular jokes in the stock market: When the aunts at the door of the securities company start talking about stocks, that is when the stocks are about to fall. Isn't it just the truth that "everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, but they are evil themselves"?

Warren Buffett's classic saying, "Be greedy when others are fearful, and be fearful when others are greedy", isn't it also a Westernized version of Lao Tzu's words?

We often encounter "all the good is bad, and all the bad is good", which is the true portrayal of this sentence!

3. "The Book of Changes": Heaven is vigorous, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement!

The meaning of this sentence is more straightforward: To be a human being, we must believe in our own ability; now, when we do transactions, we should believe in our own ability, believe that we will make a difference in the investment market, and keep working hard!

In other words, only those who have positive thinking about transactions are the first condition for investment. Otherwise, there is no way to talk about the transaction.

Second: Self-cultivation, establish a belief that supports traders to go on

If you have been in the trading market for a long time, you will know the difference between the trading world and the real world: the trading world more nakedly shows the essence of the law of the jungle, while the real world has added many layers of masks on the bottom layer of the law of the jungle.

Therefore, every investor needs to go through a process of cognitive reconstruction after entering the trading market, and in this process, trading psychology is very important. From our statistical data, the growth of every trader is accompanied by a process of transition from talking about bids at a low level, talking about logic at a medium level, to talking about trading psychology at a high level.

This process seems to be very easy in just a few lines, but the actual process is long and painful; just like Taoist practice, if you don't know the way, you may pass through the door a thousand times and fail to enter. At this time, you need a belief, or to establish a belief that supports traders to go on! Or to put it more upscale, that is how to cultivate one's body. Therefore, Confucianism and Taoism can come in handy!

Although I am talking about Confucianism and Taoism here, in fact, although Taoist self-cultivation and Confucian self-cultivation have similarities, they have different emphases: Taoism focuses on cultivating the mind, pursuing a clear mind and restraining desires, and finally achieves a clear mind and sees the nature, and through changes Consciousness of people in order to achieve the purpose of changing their attitude towards life. What about Confucianism? Confucianism emphasizes practice, cultivates the mind through practice, and gradually improves people's spiritual realm.

One is in the heart and the other is good at practice, so Confucianism and Taoism are often regarded as one born out of the world and the other into the world. And we are in the vanity fair of trading, how can we get out of the world and enter the world, then we all get what we need. Here, I personally prefer to be born in Taoism, and I like to read the book "Tao Te Ching" most.

Senior traders know that Taoism and Buddha will eventually reach the other side of light

Why can't a senior trader still make stable profits after having a mature trading system? At this time, it is still difficult to break through the bottleneck of one's own thinking when considering the problem only from the aspects of trading system, trading plan, trading strategy, etc., and the problem arises at the psychological barrier. Only with the help of Taoist or Buddhist theories can we upgrade to another level of thinking and break through psychological barriers.

No matter how powerful a trading system is, it needs people to execute, operate and complete it. At this time, mental effort is an important determining factor. A bad mentality is not only not solid enough in technology, it is also related to human weakness on another level. Buddhism teaches that there are five poisons in human nature "greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt". If the five poisons are not eliminated, they will be controlled by various karma, and it will be difficult to reach the other side of light and become a Buddha.

​

The so-called greed is the attachment to all good things. There are many kinds of greed. Generally speaking, we have the five desires of wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep. Greed in the investment market is reflected in heavy-weight gambling thinking. This kind of thinking often leads to liquidation. Greed is also reflected in wanting more after making a profit, so that profit-taking turns profitable orders into loss orders.

The so-called anger is the attachment to all bad things, and it means getting angry. There are many types of anger, for example, when someone scolds us, we cannot bear it, and we become angry, which then escalates the conflict. Although sometimes we keep quiet on the surface, feeling uncomfortable inside is also a kind of anger. In the investment market, it is often reflected in the phenomenon of increasing positions against the trend or carrying orders in a deep set, or increasing positions after losses and eager to recover losses. The Buddhists say that "when one thought of anger arises, a million barriers will be opened." In investment transactions, hatred together will only accelerate the demise of the trading account.

Anger and greed are just the opposite. Greed is when we encounter a happy situation, we desperately pursue and crave for it; anger is when we encounter an unhappy or disliked situation, we want to abandon it, but we can’t lose it, so hatred. Dare to let go of the attachment to everything good or bad is a good way to deal with greed and hatred. In the transaction, the newly opened position should not be controlled by the previous order, and the mentality should be reset to zero in time, which is a good way to prevent continuous losses or withdrawal after the account has made a large profit.

The so-called ignorance is also called ignorance, ignorance of reason, right and wrong, called ignorance. Ignorance means being unaware of the causes and effects in the world. Another kind of ignorance is not being able to tell right from wrong. We think that what others tell us is right, we think it is wrong; what others tell us wrong, we think it is right. In short, everything that is self-righteous and obsessed with self is ignorance.

Obsession with beauty, obsession with badness, and obsession with self are the real manifestations of greed, hatred, and ignorance in an ordinary trader. Only by letting go of yourself and no longer being obsessed can you reach the state of "wisdom".

The so-called slowness is arrogance, self-slowness, exalting one's own heart and looking down on others, which is called slowness. For example, after becoming an official and making a fortune, I feel great and show off to others everywhere. Or showing off one's fame, fortune, ability and property to others is called arrogance. Some people are very capable, full of status and talent, and are superior to others, but it is also slow to look down on others. Strong vanity, love to compare, when you are worse than others and don't admit defeat, but think others are nothing special, this is also slow. Anyone who has self-aggrandizement is slow, and when a practitioner has a certain amount of wisdom and supernatural powers, it is slow to look down on others.

If you make a profit for a while in an investment transaction, it is easy to have an inflated mentality, and it is also slow to relax your awe of the market. If you have made profits in the past, you think that you will definitely make profits in the future, which is also slow, but you don’t know that the market or the market environment has changed. If you treat the market with a slow mind, sooner or later you will stumble. A sense of normalcy, humility, and innocence are good ways to resolve arrogance. Friends in the investment industry need to think hard and practice diligently. To correct your arrogance, you must first do "wiping frequently to avoid causing dust", and then you can suddenly realize the high-level state of "where there is no dust".

​

The so-called doubt is doubt or disbelief. To the truth of Buddhism, good and evil karma, and all the real facts in the world, you can't be honest and unquestionable. You can't be good at it, breed wrong views, and create right and wrong karma. For investors who have a mature trading system, sometimes they still suffer losses due to doubts. How to resolve them? The Zen master who has been wandering, the founder of Chan Zhong Shuo Zen, gave insightful insights, "Believe your eyes, don't believe it." Your mind, let alone your mind moving your eyes." Because what the eyes see is relative facts, but the brain is easy to run wild and make subjective guesses, imagining things that haven't happened as facts.

​

Thinking back to those successful heroes or masters in the investment market, including Gann, Livermore and other powerful figures, why did they end up unhappy or depressed in the end? Doubt" five poisons, which led to the final fall. Friends in the investment industry need to be patient and get rid of the five poisons, and practice with all your heart, and you will eventually reach the other side of light.

Thanks calm for the invitation. There are always people who are more willing to cover it with a veil of mystery when it comes to trading.

Many people think that the highest state of trading is theology, so the master of trading should be a master of the world, detached from the realm, and of course should understand some Buddhist theories, the essence of Taoism, not only that, but also should understand the art of war , Confucianism, Zeng Guofan's family letters, etc. But are these really helpful for trading?

When we can't do a good deal, we always feel that we haven't understood something. Generally speaking, our realm is not enough, and our mentality is not up to the requirements. When talking with some so-called masters, they always say something vaguely. Seemingly philosophical words, mysterious and mysterious, thus leading you on the illusory path of pursuing the way of heaven. All the theories mentioned above are good. They can cultivate one’s self, cultivate one’s character, and improve one’s overall quality, so that we can face life better, but they really have little effect on the profit and loss of transactions.

You don’t stop losses, you can’t hold profitable orders, you can’t grasp the trend, and you can’t control your positions. These are all because you don’t have a reasonable trading system and your own trading rules. These are all words that can be generated. If you don’t stop loss, it means that you don’t understand the harm caused by expanding losses. If you experience the market that takes you away a few times, you will know the meaning of stop loss. The reason why you stay in the profit list is that you don’t have your own exit point, and you don’t know how to deal with the profit. At this time, you will most likely be in the bag, and when the subsequent large-scale profits and the general trend, you can only take pictures. The thigh regretted that it was early, you can't control the position, you always attack with heavy positions, even a stable sleep has become a luxury, and in the end you didn't sleep well, the position was not delayed, and you were exhausted physically and mentally.

Are these related to Buddhism and Taoism? Even if you memorize the Diamond Sutra and the Great Sun Tathagata mantra upside down, even if you can save everyone, you still can’t do a good deal, or everyone will become a monk. Therefore, formulating your own trading rules is the first priority. As for the problems encountered in the implementation later, you should improve and optimize specific problems until the trading system is engraved on your soul. When you have rules, you should stop Stop loss, you should take the order, everything is like eating and drinking water, does this still need to cultivate the mentality, everything has already become the instinct of trading.

When looking at things, you must look at them dialectically. If you can see the essence of things earlier, you will be one step ahead of others. Is the subject satisfied with this answer?

It is to lower desires.

There is a saying called, no desire is strong. But it is very difficult to really let go of desires. Who doesn't want to make more profits in a transaction. After the profits are huge, how much can they afford to see the shocks. These desires control thinking all the time, if you can't let go, you will learn Buddhism. Because the most talked about in Buddhism is desire, and the lack of desire is because you can see through it. What you see through is the sentence in the "Diamond Sutra": All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed in this way. Life is like a dream, and everything is a dream, as it is said in "Master Yongjia's Enlightenment Song": There are clearly six destinies in the dream, but there is nothing in the dream after awakening. Because you can see through, you can let go.

How exactly? When you want to achieve no desire, you are already wrong. No desire is a way of letting nature take its course. It is a disgusting insight after experiencing desire in the world. Therefore, if you want to achieve no desire in trading, you have to hold positions for more torture .

Of course, if you hold a position for a long time, you want to see the goal further. If you don’t open a position in one month, open a position with a long-term goal in one month, and think in a big realm. Taoism pays attention to the atmosphere, "Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things." Fighting, not fighting with everything, will gradually let go of desires.

In addition, there is also Confucianism. Confucianism pays attention to righteousness. Wen Tianxiang said in "Song of Zhengqi": There is righteousness in heaven and earth, and it is mixed with manifolds. For people, it is an upright, upright and unyielding spirit. Righteous air and evil thoughts lead to self-confidence and self-improvement.

But the fact is that letting go of desires comes after a certain amount of experience, seeing through the disgust of the market, and then you have an indomitable thought. The trading market is full of fighting, and letting go of desires is actually very difficult to do in the trading market. arrive. At least I am like this. It is enough to make profits and let nature take its course without affecting work and rest.

It is said in the market that trading is a practice! In fact, this has a lot to do with Buddhism and Taoism. And the most important thing in this practice is not only the trading technology, but also the concept, a kind of comprehension, the way, and the practice.

Taoism says that the world is from nothing---being---nothing     

Learning from simple---complex---simple

Trading from Thinking Unpredictable---Thinking Predictable---Understanding Unpredictable

life from nothing---life---death

Price from static---dynamic---static

Buddhism practice never know---know---don't know

The movement of the price is not regular --- it is regular --- it is not regular but there is an order

In the growth process of trading, traders basically go through three stages, and these three stages are closely related to the basic theories of Buddhism and Taoism above.

The first level of realm: searching and searching, deserted, desolate and miserable. 

The characteristic of this realm is: you think the transaction is actually very simple. The operation is very random, and there is no clear basis for entering and exiting the market frequently. The result is more losses than wins. Mentally, fear, greed and luck are constantly conflicting in your heart. When you lose money, you will be highly nervous, and when you make a profit, you will be highly excited. This is the initial stage of trading, and you are still a long way from success!

The second level of realm: the belt is getting wider and wider, and you will not regret it, and you will be haggard because of Yixiao.

The characteristic of this state is that you realize that trading is not easy. In terms of operation, you already understand that you can't do it recklessly, you need methods and skills, so you try to find and learn various "secrets". You know you need to stop the loss, but you don’t know how to set the stop loss properly. Sometimes the price will follow your original entry direction after you stop the loss, so you regret it. Sometimes you don’t stop the loss. reason. You also try to delve into various technical indicators, trying to find shortcuts to make money. Sometimes you act on the basis of stock analysts and refer to your own analysis. When you make money, you don't know why you make money, and when you lose money, you are also confused. At this level, you have the experience of making a lot of money, and it is also the spiritual pillar of your "clothes are getting wider and you will never regret it". But you have also experienced losses that make you "tasteless to eat and sleepless", which can be said to be "weak and haggard for Iraq". Your mentality will fluctuate with the profit and loss of the book, so you have a certain amount of patience, but fear and greed always control your operations. Although you can't form your own complete operation mode, in general you are making continuous progress in summing up experience and analyzing your mistakes.
The third level of realm: I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but the man was in a dimly lit place.

The characteristics of this level of realm: You suddenly realize that the transaction is as simple as that. In terms of operation, you have a complete operation mode, a clear battle plan, and a clear basis for your operations. Although sometimes you will still lose money, but when you lose money, you stop the loss in time and only lose a small amount; when you make money, you can let the profit run. Mentally, a good attitude dominates your consciousness. Faced with the ups and downs of the stock market, your heart is like water, you can stand the loneliness, and you will make a move when it is time to make a move! Looking back on the journey you have gone through, you think that you are right to take this path, and you understand that trading is actually to get rid of the weakness of human nature. While the transaction is successful, you also push your life realm to a new height without knowing it.

From another perspective, religion is essentially a discipline of mind training.

It is understood that European and American traders like to study the Bible and astrology, Japanese traders like to study philosophy, and some religious things, Chinese traders like to study Buddhism and Taoism, and some Confucianism, through learning to acquire a Faith, establish a belief that supports traders to go on. Successful traders often suffer a lot of spiritual pain, because trading is anti-human. Reading Buddhism or Taoism can stretch your heart and make trading better.

So in general, no matter from which point of view, the theory of Buddhism and Taoism is very helpful to traders, so this should be the reason why many people study Buddhism and Taoism.

Pursue the essence. Just like the name can be named. Speaking of chicken. We just thought that if you have wings, you will lay eggs. Animals that don't have wings and lay eggs remind us of chickens. but the name chicken reminds us of having wings and laying eggs

Cultivating the mind is the most difficult thing in trading. Reading these books will change your view of the market, or change the pattern, thereby changing your trading methods and having a better trading life

Thank you. The sleepy man himself is a student of Buddhism and Zen, so it is perfect to answer this question. Traders are a very strange group. There are all kinds of monsters and ghosts in this group. After all, they are all caused by "infatuation". Everyone knows that out of a hundred traders, only one makes money, and ninety-nine are losing money, but these one hundred traders all think that they should be the one who makes money. Isn't this "crazy"? Buddhists say that "greed, anger, and ignorance" are the "three poisons" of ordinary people, and they are the root causes of failure to become a Buddha. In fact, the three poisons can also be attributed to one poison, which is "ignorance". "Greed" is also because you are crazy, you don't know what is yours and what is not yours, you want it all, isn't this "crazy"? "Angry" is also because you are crazy, whether you are angry or resentful, it is useless if it is a fait accompli, so it is still "crazy".

​Traders are the most delusional people in the world. Now there must be a group of people gearing up to make 100 million with 400 dollars; another group of people are thinking hard to find a magic weapon that can predict the market trend; Get rich quickly; there is another group of people who are looking at the ever-increasing losses and fantasizing that the market can reverse; "Going to work in the sea"... These clown-like stories are staged every day, but few people realize it.

The great thing about Zen is to guide people to "enlightenment". There is nothing magical about enlightenment. Enlightenment is just letting you let go of wishful thinking and observe the appearance of things themselves. For example, it is impossible to earn 100 million with 400 US dollars; there is no way to predict the direction of the market 100%; there is no kind person in the world who will sincerely lead you to make orders. If you want to improve your trading level, you must work hard on your own Learning; the correct way to face the loss market is to stop the loss in time; you can't expect to make a fortune with one order and two orders... Once you realize this, you will be enlightened, and once you are awakened, you will not With wishful thinking, you can do realistic things, and your trading career will have hope.

My most important realization at the moment is that trading may not necessarily succeed if I realize it, but trading will definitely not succeed if I don’t realize it. ​

Pretending to be gods and ghosts, pretending to be mysterious, there are some philosophical logics of purifying desires and thoughts in Buddhist and Taoist culture, attention is philosophical logic, and people who don't understand it will have no effect. These things have nothing to do with trading, they are just personal interests. Or maybe it was just a coincidence. It is also a loss for an eminent monk to do business. Don't trust these pretenders.

Trading is a cognitive battle. In other words, the practice in trading is not about cultivating human nature, or the main thing is not about cultivating human nature, but more about cultivating cognition. Trading itself is a behavioral science skill. And this skill is based on rules, not technology. It must also be obtained from practice, and there is no second way to obtain it. Furthermore, human nature is based on the premise of cognition, how deep the cognition is, how stable the human nature is! The same is true of life.

For example, how deep a driver's awareness of driving hazards determines the proportion of the accident rate of driving a car. The lower the awareness, the easier it is to cause accidents.

You actually described China’s 5,000-year culture as illusory. In fact, you don’t understand enough. The research on many things in reality is based on Buddhist and Taoist culture. principle, see the whole from the part

They are divided into two factions, the Practical Mind Cultivation School. This type of people themselves believe in Buddhism, and can learn useful things for their own transactions from the ideas of the relevant schools, and use them as their own behavioral trading rules. Foolish masters, this kind of main marketing is based on the concept, the purpose is to cover a wide range of people with great education, and the concept is forcibly inserted into the trading system to attract investment groups who are either fooling novices or urgently need to learn technology and trading concepts. Remember one thing to distinguish, masters are among the people, and "masters" stand on the stage.

Existence is reasonable, and Buddhism and Taoism have existed for thousands of years. On the surface, it seems that they are popular in the trading market, but in fact, behind this is the blessing of people. After all, it is real individuals who make deals.

The end of trading is probably philosophy, and the end of philosophy is probably metaphysics. Therefore, these can all be related to religious thoughts.

What exactly is a market?

Simply speaking, it is non-linearity or randomness, which is an absolute attribute, global, permanent, and all levels. Without the passage of time, there will be no price fluctuations, and without price fluctuations, there will be no market. Time is the carrier of price movement. Therefore, purely speculative trading is essentially a losing game.

Looking at human nature: the inherent weaknesses of human nature are greed, fear, desire for control, pursuit of perfection, worry about gain and loss, short-sightedness, laziness, impulsiveness, unrestrained weakness, etc. Traders are born losers.

The inherent weaknesses of human nature can be weakened and hidden within a certain period of time and to a certain extent after training, making them unimportant and not affecting transactions. Successful traders are well-trained and develop good thinking habits and behavioral people. But they still cannot fundamentally overcome the weakness of human nature. Think about those Wall Street bigwigs, in the glorious moments of life, it seems that the whole world belongs to them, but in the end, many of them commit suicide, go bankrupt or disappear.

Due to the nature of the market and human nature, the disparity in the power comparison between the market and traders is derived.

The capital of the market is unlimited, but the funds of traders are extremely limited. It is like fighting with a giant that can never be defeated. There are only two ways to exit, give up or be eliminated. Traders can only gain certain advantages at a local, temporary, and certain level;

The time of the market is unlimited, but the time, energy and luck of traders are limited. Trading is a kind of movement, and the movement has a peak period. After the peak period, it will naturally go downhill without exception. If you do not limit the size of trading positions after passing the peak, or simply retire after success, you will only be wiped out by the market.

A trader cannot succeed once, but he can fail once. Due to human greed and blind self-inflation, after a huge victory, they don't think it is a gift from the market, but attribute it to their own genius, so no matter how much money they make, they will not stop, but will intensify. And a full position plus a prejudice against the market will bring disaster. Winning cannot be fast, but losing can be instant.

In such a reality, many people will seek comfort in such mysterious things as religion.

In fact, in the end, what traders yearn for is such a state: the mind is very fulfilled and peaceful, neither missing the past nor expecting the future, allowing time to pass and firmly grasping the present.

No matter how long or short it lasts, it leaves no trace of succession, no sense of want or enjoyment, neither happiness nor sorrow, neither desire nor fear, but only the feeling of one's own existence, this alone Feeling is enough to fill the whole mind; and as long as the state persists, the man in it can say that he is blessed—not crippled.

Maybe it's because my heart is too bitter. Need to be quiet. Just kidding, whether it is bitter or not may vary from person to person, but quietness is what every trader needs. We need to be clear when analyzing the market, rational when dealing with transactions, and calm when thinking about the next step in the face of losses. These things accompany a trader's entire trading career.

Our culture has a long history, and Taoism and Buddhism have many merits. People who do trading may do research to calm their hearts, and many people do it because of their beliefs. The author of a book I read before said in the first person that her grandmother was a rural woman with little education, and the rest of the family had passed away, leaving the two of them to depend on each other. Grandma believes in Christianity. There is a church in the town, and she takes her to church every week. When she grows up, it may be that grandma believes in religion because life is too difficult, and she needs a belief to support her to live and continue her life.

I just pulled away, come back and continue talking. Our Taoists and Buddhists all pay attention to practice, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, so that the mind can be as calm as water, so that we can do a job with ease. Surviving in the trading circle, without a strong heart and unremitting efforts, even working hard to the relief of being helpless, then the world of traders is very painful. It’s like making a wrong transaction. I can’t blame anyone for losing money, and I can’t cry. It’s useless to cry. I have to find a way to solve him. In addition to being able to reflect on what went wrong with me, I can't blame anyone and I can't blame the market, it's like someone slapped you and you can only think about what you did wrong, that kind of aggrieved feeling. Therefore, we need to zoom in on the pattern, so that we can see that this is only a point, not all, so as to avoid blinding Mount Tai. If you can't control yourself, the transaction cannot go on. Just like I used to trade for a period of time before, the final stage of failure is often the liquidation of one or two orders. This is not a situation caused by continuous technical errors in the transaction. Being controlled by emotions, it's like the inner devil finally defeated the angel.

Taoist theory Taoism believes that each thing has its own nature and its nature is different, that is, all things have their own nature, and the nature of each thing is different, so we should respect the nature of all things and let nature take its course, so as to conform to the Dao. This point in our trading world is that everyone has their own trading methods, favorite theories, and good points. We cannot say who is good and who is bad. It can only be said that the best is the best, and it also tells us not to be a taker. , Most of other people's things are applicable to others. This coincides with the point in the transaction that we often discuss.

In Buddhist thought, all living beings are equal, and the six roots must be clean. Avoid greed, anger, and ignorance. Greed: refers to the delusional mind of all beings who are attached to the five desires of form, sound, smell, taste, and touch, or the realm of five desires such as wealth, color, name, food, and sleep. Anger: thoughts of anger, disgust, etc., towards the state that violates one's love and attachment. Crazy: the mind is chaotic, without wisdom. Traders control their desires and emotions, correctly view profits and losses, and maintain rational cognition are all included in it.

So why study the theories of Taoism and Buddhism is because the ideas advocated are what our traders need. At the same time, we can also take the opportunity to let ourselves read more books. Reading and thinking can make the brain better, and the transaction will naturally be smoother.

Most people just comfort themselves! Many people will find excuses to shirk responsibility when they make mistakes or lose money!

What is Tao? Killing is decisive!

What is Buddha? Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha!

But you are you, you have your own way, you have your own Buddha!

Before you intend to make a deal, go to become a monk or an old Taoist, and then make a deal,,,,,, the donkey has to be on the horse, do you understand Taoism and Buddhism? At best, you are an elephant with a pig's nose and green onions.

Many Taoism and Buddhism teach people to understand the world. Trading is one of a kind in the world.

Ordinary people can only understand the material world.

The spiritual world, the world of the combination of spirit and matter, requires the knowledge of Taoism or Buddhism to understand and recognize.

A world where organization meets spirit: trade, draw, invent, write, and more...

If there is a way but no skills, skills are still possible, but if there is skill but no way, it stops at skills.

Art can be learned and belongs to the level of technical knowledge. Tao needs to cultivate the mind, which belongs to the level of wisdom. A person's ultimate achievement is determined by Tao.

When your xinxing and wisdom are excellent, everything you do will be thoughtful, reasonable, reasonable, and reasonable. In the face of difficulties and setbacks, you can handle them with ease.

Thanks for the invite! I personally think that many things must have logic behind them, human nature. The logic behind the transaction, the heart, the most difficult thing for a person to control is his own heart. Emotional animals are often easily manipulated, and in the end it is difficult to be firm without too much external influence.
