More than one novice friend has asked me what preparations I need to make before entering the market to trade? Some people say that they need a quiet environment, some people say that they need to arrange their work, and some people say that they need to prepare a spare amount of money that has no impact on their lives.
In fact, these are not the most important things, I think the important thing is not how to start trading from the form, but to change the thinking, do a good job of psychological preparation, and maintain emotional stability during the learning period.
Advice such as "starting with a small account" and "trading lightly" is dismissive to many people, but veterans who have suffered losses never take them as nonsense with the right meaning, why?
Because they clearly know that funds and ** are related to trading pressure, the root cause of many low-level mistakes is in the use of funds beyond their ability to bear, so there will be mental fluctuations.
So for novices, can it be okay to blindly invest a lot of money and want to make a fortune without having a problem before the mentality has been honed? Something must be wrong.
And sometimes, we can accept losses, not necessarily accept our mistakes, the blow to the heart is multi-dimensional, just like the problem of emotional loss of control after the trend is not expected, more than one friend has complained to me.
This one is irritable, the list is swept away and depressed, and there is a **heavy and very hot** can't sleep all night, how to solve it?
There is simply no quick way to solve it! Many times, an anxious state of mind will make your mind feel like a wild horse that can't stop until you run to exhaustion.
Unless you're prepared to numb your brain with something that's not good for your health, you can relax for a moment, but that's all an illusion.
When I realized this, I rarely came into contact with tobacco and alcohol in my life, and to some extent it represents inner weakness, trying to escape from the reality of the dilemma by means of tricks.
If you are entangled with too many negative emotions, it will slowly transform you, so that you no longer trust yourself, no longer believe that you are a person who has the ability to change the situation and solve problems, and will waste all your mental energy in the constant internal friction on regretting the past and fantasizing that the problems will be solved by external forces.
At this point, how much energy do you have to spend on boosting your mobility? I'm afraid that I won't have a point, so many people do trading for months, not so much to accumulate a few months of experience, but to sleepwalk for a few months and waste time.
Therefore, the way to avoid mental exhaustion and maintain emotional stability is to keep yourself always having something to do.
What is the experience of sleepwalking for a few months, I have learned what it is like in my novice period, I live surrounded by negative emotions every day, one second I feel that there is a chance to change, and the next second I begin to wonder if I am this material.
The change in thinking is when I was reading a book one day, I suddenly thought of taking notes by myself, and the left and right sentences were too messy to translate, so it was better to buy some sticky notes and write them down and paste them on the wall behind the screen.
From this day, it was a real awareness of the positive changes that goals and actions bring, from a sticky note, to a small piece behind the screen, to wanting to accumulate and plaster an entire wall.
The driving force is no longer an empty vague idea such as "I need to read and learn because I don't understand how to lose money", but real feedback. Whenever I see a very inspiring sentence, write it down and stick it on the wall, it is always pleasant, why is it pleasant?
Because this proves that I have seen it and gained something, the sticky notes on the wall are getting more and more day by day, indicating that I have not wasted time and have been improving.
This habit later taught me that many problems are not that there is no way to solve them, but that I do not have enough breadth of knowledge and experience, and I don't understand the warnings of some seniors, just like a sentence"It is better to wait and see".
At first glance, it was just an empty sentence, and I thought: "Isn't this all nonsense, I only do it when I see the trend, and I don't have a chance to enter the market with my brain?" ”
Later, after the cognitive level was broadened, I slowly found that many words, not understanding is an empty word, understanding it represents a route, a direction.
Under what circumstances will you wait and see? There is a lot of research on this aspect, author A has proposed several divisions of large-scale market states, author B has written about random market walks, author C has analyzed the thinking characteristics of traders, and D has summarized how ordinary people should use reason to make decisions.
It can be said that in today's era of knowledge, there are countless predecessors who have paved all the roads for you and perfected various types of concept research and methodological models
What should you do?
1. Look more, think more, open up your knowledge, until you meet a model that is most compatible with your personality, and then use it as the "skeleton" of your system to practice in real life, and slowly modify and fill in the "flesh and blood" in practice. It's definitely going to be a loss, but that's tuition! It has become a myth of the market to directly stabilize profits when you get started.
Casual individuals write myths as soon as they open an account, so many predecessors who spend half their lives studying the market are all jokes?
2. Imagine that the impact of loss pressure and negative emotions is a small river, and your heart is a narrow pool at the beginning.
But through the growth of your horizons and your growing understanding of the market, your heart will slowly change from a pool to a lake and an ocean, at which point negative emotions are no longer a problem, and the impact of the river will never disappear, but it is no longer a big deal relative to the pattern.
So what is faith?Not only the road you have traveled and the problems you have solved, but also the way you learn from others and how others solve problems!
People who have not experienced enough always have unrealistic expectations for things to change, that is, perfectionism, as long as something is not as good as they want, it becomes a knot in the heart, and they can't forget it, they can't let go of it, and they twist it into a ball in their hearts.
The reason is that these friends have too simple assumptions about the future development, and they keep rising, and they earn day after day, and they don't know anything about market changes.
If you want to have a stable mentality, you must be able to foresee your trading results to a certain extent (not the market) for example, the most common intervention strategy, how high the signal frequency is, how often there will be an opportunity, what is the goal, and whether the loss is an objective risk.
Only when we have an understanding of the probability of profit and loss, signal frequency, and participation level of our trading methods can we foresee the consequences of our actions, and we can foresee that our natural psychology will be prepared.
Those who are emotional** at every turn are nothing more than subconsciously perceiving the changes in the world and breaking their predictions beyond cognition, so they have no choice but to respond with intense emotions and vent their incompetence with anger.
Therefore, if you want to ensure emotional stability, you must be fully familiar with your trading model and the various consequences it can cause, so that you will not be frightened by the market.
Open-mindedness lies in the fact that sometimes we need to set our psychological expectations at a very low level in order to learn"Forward, upward".Take every setback as an experience and progress on the road of life.
Don't put yourself in a very high position, as if you should have achieved a good result when you come to the market, but because of various factors self-defeating, you will always be resentful of your family or the market.
It's like a friend complained to me: he blew up because he was staring at the market and waiting for an opportunity, but because of the rain, his wife temporarily called ** to let him drive to pick him up from work, but he was afraid of missing it before going out and entered the field in advance.
I said: First, you will enter because you have an idea, even if you don't go out, you may be waiting for the traffic light or returning home after picking up and then entering, this is the idea has nothing to do with others, why is there a contrarian order? It must be because you have the idea of guessing the top ** in mind, so ** is doomed, because the trend is not lacking in the illusion of coaxing people.
Second, the liquidation is because you carry the order, the single is because of the lack of risk perception of the trend, if you have discipline, you can stop the loss before, you can also stop the loss the next day, choose to carry, it is nothing more than to feel that you can carry the long into the short, I have not experienced and can not imagine the fluctuation range and span of the trend.
Third, your wife's request is extremely reasonable, do you want to let your wife be sure to rain for an uncertain opportunity? This is not what a man should do, choose a fish or a bear's paw, there was an answer at that time, it's just that you are too stubborn and don't give up, you want it all, and you mess up. [Public (**Transaction Theory) No.].
If you don't care about opportunities, your mentality is easy to stabilize, think about it carefully, today and even in the next ten years, will the financial market lack ** volatility? Apparently not!
The market was formed in the century, and when we didn't even come into this world, we already missed countless opportunities for "financial freedom", so when you are annoyed that you missed the opportunity of the day, you might as well think about it.
I often say that what really supports trading is always the real things in daily life, what is the best state?
It's like losing two orders in a row one day, who doesn't hurt when the money is gone? But remorse is useless, I know very well how much the winning rate of backhand revenge ** Yi is.
And I don't want to waste energy, especially when I think that the comparison results of the trading plan have not been summarized, and there is still a half-pulled article that has not been written, I don't give myself time to be sad, and just call it a day and turn off the computer.
Slowly, I developed a good habit, and my emotions and doing things were divided into two levels.
Emotions are emotions, they are unpleasant when they are in a daze, and boredom and negative emotions are basically linked.
Doing things is doing things, and how to complete it step by step is an established plan, so the best way to release emotions is not to be bored.
Therefore, it is important for many newbies to understand what exactly trading means to you.
Is it a thing that can make a fortune with a click of a mouse?
Or is it an opportunity to broaden your horizons and experience an unfamiliar industry?
Or is it a task that requires you to put all your knowledge and quality into a job that you can spend money on?
What kind of attitude you use to treat it, what kind of results you will get, defining the transaction, in fact, is also defining ourselves.
The above are some thoughts and feelings, thank you for reading
