The many natural attributes of the transaction determine that it can obtain stable income through the transaction. There is no doubt about this! How to achieve stable profit? Let me share my personal experience in trading, hoping to give you some inspiration:

It has been 5 years since I started trading in 2015. Looking at today's account from 70,000 US dollars to 500,000 US dollars (2 years), it is more than excitement and pride. Instead, count the relief after so many years of ups and downs.

When I first entered the market, I felt that money was coming quickly in this market. No one told, thinking about getting rich overnight, showing off with friends when Xiangche is beautiful. As a result, after waiting for 5 years, I have become more and more low-key, and I am unwilling to talk about my career with people, fearing that they will choose this line of work because of me, and eventually become 20% of the 20-80 rule. Even perish forever.

At the beginning, I should have experienced the same experience as many people. I found a position as a trader on the Internet, submitted my resume, and vowed to go to Shanghai for an interview. The interview went very well, and I was asked to come to the training the next day after a short chat. It lasted for a week. After passing the assessment, I can officially go to work, starting from an intern, to a trader, to a senior trader, to a trading director. Bring me infinite reverie. At that time, I didn't have much money, and I couldn't afford to stay in a hotel worth a few hundred at night, so I took the subway and went to a guest house in the suburbs for five days. Life is hard, but the heart is full of excitement and longing.

On the second day of training, a lot of people came, and I was fairly basic. Because I have also read a lot of books on basic trading, but I still feel that I have learned something. At that time, the teacher talked about K-line, trading system, trading philosophy, etc. The three teachers before and after were all good people. Some people made $30000 from $300 in half a year. Although we have not seen the transaction records, we are all convinced. Feel yourself in company with God. After the training, the assessment began. The teacher asked each student to invest 5,000 US dollars to make a firm offer. The teacher called for orders and gave daily guidance on the spot. After three months, those with excellent grades will be promoted gradually. At that time, I really wanted to vote, but I really didn't have the money. It took me years to find out that it was just a scam.

After I came back, I started trading according to the trading method taught by the teacher. At that time, I only opened an account of 500 US dollars, and I placed an order of 0.1 lots that night. I watched the blue/red of the mobile phone beating there, and I always converted it into RMB in my heart. "Wow, I made 200 yuan in this minute." "Hey, if I just leveled out, I won't lose money now, and I'll be safe." In the end, like most people, I was Make a small profit and lose a lot, and run away after earning 10 dollars in 0.1 lot. The loss is indeed a constant deadly resistance. It will blow up soon.

In the future, every time I earn a little money at work, I will invest more or less. In the end, I really don’t want to work and run business anymore. Many times I worked hard to run business and made money, but ended up losing money in the trading market in one day. But I was reluctant to give up my job (the basis of my survival). Halfway through I met a guy who was doing business at a brokerage. It is the kind where you can see the transactions of many customers. Knowing that this market, especially the Chinese market, there are many black platforms, there are also many platforms that bet against customers, and there are also several inter-bank direct transactions. There are also several ecn models. Most of the customers are losing money, and few of them are making money. I am a person who likes to think, and I wondered why this happened. He once saw a client go from $5,000 to $100,000 in a week, and he also saw him liquidate his position with $100,000 in two days. I also saw a customer who had been earning a stable $300 for a year, which had quadrupled, but returned to before liberation overnight. Many, many liquidations for various reasons. Human greed and fear are infinitely magnified in this market.

Later, I often wondered why most of my customers were losing money, and what should I do to finally become the small group of people who make money. I thought, most people run away when they make money, and take it when they lose money. This is the weakness of human nature. So I did the opposite, if I made money, I held it, and if I lost money, I stopped the loss. Generally set a stop loss of 20 points and a stop profit of 80 points. Sometimes no stop profit is set, thinking of "letting profits run". The start was very good. After two stop losses, the principal went from $700 to $1,500 two weeks later. Then it was $2,000, then $3,000. At that time, I felt light and light, and I felt that I was a god, so I hoped that my account would reach 5,000 US dollars quickly, so I would withdraw 10,000 RMB to be chic. When I was in a hurry, the frequency of my orders kept increasing, sometimes ten or more times a day, and most of them were in the morning and noon, anyway, I missed the most suitable evening and evening. Constantly stop losses and continuously increase positions, and finally the account is closed overnight.

I have been distressed for a long time, and the 20,000 yuan at that time was a big number for me. I haven’t eaten and slept well for a few days, and I’m always thinking about why, whether it’s the wrong method, bad technique, wrong judgment, or position management. So I started to summarize, wrote an article, printed it and put it on the bedside, and wrote 10 rules: For example, 1. Don’t make orders in the morning. 2. Do not make crosses. 3. Strict stop loss. 4. A maximum of 0.3 lots can be placed in an account of 1000 US dollars. 5. Before a real breakthrough, no order can be placed. 6. The profit-loss ratio of each order must be greater than 1:1.5, otherwise the position will not be opened. Wait for ten items, almost every sentence is pearls.

After summing up, I immediately invested another 1,000 US dollars. 0.1 lot - 0.3 lot order, intraday trading. The account was not going well at the beginning, the market was in a period of oscillation, and the orders were constantly being swept and stopped. Profitable orders did not stop profit in time, and then oscillated back to the open position or even lost money on the same day. After the last balance of 300 US dollars in the account, directly 0.5 lots. I want to withdraw money when I come back. As a result, it broke out again. I feel that time does not wait for me, and God does not help me. Even if you reach 100 points in 0.5 hands, won't you come back? All kinds of thoughts, disheartened.

So I kept comforting myself again, and came again, and broke a few accounts one after another. When the last account broke, I decided not to trade anymore. Keep up with the fallen work. To work hard.

After recuperating for a while, by chance, I saw someone teaching trading in the online YY classroom. I listened to two sections with the mentality of giving it a try, and felt that the teacher was very good and spoke very clearly. What he warned was the mistake I made. I was also fortunate to discuss the issue of trading with him, and he was able to hit me directly. Said that the outstanding problem of my previous transactions was that I did not have my own trading system and execution. It made sense to me. Wasn't it because I didn't have an effective trading system, and I went back and forth between long and short, long and short, that led to the previous failure? Later, in the teacher's order, I executed the transaction day by day. Follow the teacher's trading system to make orders. A $1,000 account will reach $1,500 in one month. I was secretly happy, feeling that I had found a noble person, and following the teacher's orders was to make money. But after working for a period of time, I found a problem. The teacher also called for long and short orders when placing orders, and did not place orders according to the system he taught me. But based on the trust in the teacher, I strictly enforced it. But the account keeps shrinking. Ultimately broke.

After going back and forth, I finally began to have a little bit of experience in this market. This time is also the period when I tasted the sweetness. The account ranges from $1,000 to $2,000. And it has been stable and profitable for 3 consecutive months. After 6 months, it has reached 8,000 US dollars. Many people say that if the account is turned over so quickly, it must be a heavy position. Actually no, I caught the trend. The result of increasing positions rhythmically. Therefore, the capital backtest from beginning to end is not large.

At the end of 18, I officially resigned to trade full-time. Fortunately, a boss I met because of my original job gave me 10,000 US dollars to do it. Earn fifty or five cents, and lose is his. Well done, will keep adding funds. In fact, I was already very confident in my trading at that time. Because I understand more and more, take profits and losses lightly, and follow your own rules. Wrong to stop loss, right to let profits run. In the next two months, the market was also very cooperative, and it has been quite stable. The account reached 13,000 US dollars. The client also added $50,000. I was also lucky to wait for this wave of tops and continue to be short. The account quickly reached $100,000 two months later. The client split me $25,000. At that time, I was really excited. The money was not much, but it was a kind of affirmation from the market. I am honored. Thinking about the money lost in the past few years, it is estimated that it is more than this amount. Thanks to the market, thank you for your help.

Profitable, I also write a summary for myself

Its core is:

Number one: follow the trend. Looking at the overall trend from the weekly chart, the pattern must be large. I don't think people who stare at 5-minute charts all day long can make a lot of money. (Personal opinion) Try it with a light warehouse to feel whether your judgment is correct. On the basis of profit and repeated proof of correctness. Keep adding positions. Let the profits run.

Second: light storage does not mean good risk control. Stop loss does not mean good risk control. Being safe does not mean good money management. A large profit-loss ratio does not mean good money management. Be sure to have your own rules. Rather than echoing what others say. In my trading system, light positions are for continuous trial and error. When the profit is running, increasing the price will make the profit fly, even as fast as a rocket. And wrong, strictly stop loss.

Third: Don't stare at the market every day, this will make your pattern smaller and smaller.

Fourth: To do trading is to do life. Sometimes improving self-cultivation is more important than looking at candlesticks and studying technical analysis. Learn to be grateful, be upright, have a peaceful mind, be persevering, know how to wait, and know how to give up. Practice self-cultivation from these angles.

...

It's been 5+ years and I haven't gotten much in return for what I paid for, and I think I'll be better off in the long run.

In my trading career, I have learned a lot. Here, human nature is infinitely magnified, and you can clearly see your own greed and fear, as well as your own helplessness and humbleness. In the end, I found that when things are ordinary, don’t rush for quick success, and do every order steadfastly. I believe the end result will mostly be good. For novices who are new to the market, the lowest-cost way to learn is to communicate and learn more with professional traders. Sometimes their advice in a few words is better than reading dozens of books. What if there is no access to professional traders? You can only search online by yourself, which will save you a lot of detours.

Every stable profitable person has his own trading system, but his one is only suitable for himself, even if he tells you, you will not make a profit. There is no holy grail of trading in the foreign exchange market, and some are constantly changing markets, so even his trading system needs to be adjusted every time. To know why, you need to know why. Let's find a way to create our own trading system. If someone gives you his trading system, you can learn from it. Is this person the key?

I have been trading for several years, from fast in and fast out in fifteen minutes to now holding positions for several months. Now trading will not be very easy, just look at the weekly charts and major events of various varieties every day. The weekly chart is better for everyone to read. If a major event has a continuous impact on the market, if there is a major event such as Brexit, you can lightly store long-term empty orders. If an oil field is bombed, the duration is relatively short. Generally, the market will move in and out quickly within a day or two. Anyway, we are looking at the duration of market sentiment. Everyone looking at the K-line chart is also looking at market sentiment, but the sentiment on the K-line chart cannot be determined whether it is long-term or short-term.
