There is a chatterbox in the stock market named China stockholder who made a fortune in the bull market. Everyone is talking about his unique insights and first-class stock selection level.
If you are a stockholder, don't be angry when you see this. I don't mean to belittle stock trading, but I obviously feel that friends who play futures around are generally much more modest than those who stock trading. Why?
I asked a friend who studied cotton futures in depth. He said, "The more I do it, the less I understand it."
As we all know, futures is an industry that is easy to get rich and suddenly lose money. This market is ups and downs, and there are many examples of getting rich overnight, but if you are not careful, it may be a painful explosion.
People who have just entered the futures market are lucky enough to catch a market, and then they are surprised that money comes so quickly. At this time, it is easy to breed gambling psychology. When they make money, they will continue to increase their chips and play bigger games. Day trading ignores risk control; A gambler who loses money is trying to make a comeback with all his eggs in one basket.
The result is a daze to leave the market.
We all say that stocks are traded, but we have never heard anyone say that futures are speculative. If you speculate in futures, I'm afraid your house will be bombed.
Some predecessors have summarized that people who are suitable for the futures market must first have the following two:
1. Not greedy for money, detached, he who sees through the world of mortals can maintain a good attitude.
2. Always be cautious about risk control and humble about the market.
These two articles alone are enough to eliminate more than 95% people.
Lin Guangmao, a savage with thick soup, became famous in the first world war in a magnificent cotton market 20 10. This person's operation method is bold and radical. He once said frankly in public, "It is normal for my account to lose 60%. My style is Man Cang jiacang trading."
After World War I, the market paid more and more attention to it. At that time, Lin Guangmao, who was young and frivolous, became conceited and repeatedly exposed his orders, while his opponents clearly saw his cards. In less than two years, he was besieged by funds on cotton futures and lost money.
Lin Guangmao concluded that the failure of 20 12 cotton was the inevitable result of confidence expansion after overconfidence.
"A long, short time, more than a year, from 6 million to more than 2 billion, I feel omnipotent, and my confidence has expanded to the point where I want to help the government do great things."
This defeat also made him awake a lot: "It is worthwhile to get a sublimation of self-knowledge and self-cultivation at a great cost."
A person in the futures industry who had contact with him said that compared with before, Lin kept a low profile and talked less, and he had a strong interest in Buddhism, which gave people the feeling that he was calm inside.
Therefore, most people who can survive in the futures market are humble. Especially those who have experienced the bankruptcy of the futures market will be more awed by this market. Even if they fight a beautiful turnaround next time, they will not be so easily carried away by victory.
Because you clearly know that futures can take you to heaven or fan you back to before liberation.
Go back to the topic that my friend said at the beginning of the article, "The more you do, the less you know." In fact, the more you learn, the worse you get, but the more you know.
Human knowledge is like a circle, which is known inside and unknown outside. The more you know, the bigger the circle, and the more you don't know.
"Do futures trading, never stop learning"
A person who does futures must pay attention to learning from the bottom of his heart, because the temptation of this market is too great, and the instinct of profit will prompt you to keep learning.
Learning mentioned here is by no means just learning the basic knowledge of futures, nor is it enough to read all the technical analysis books in the market.
Can you cook a good meal with just a cookbook on the back of your chair?
What you need to learn is how to establish your own trading concept and form a set of trading logic, so that you can have your own analysis and judgment on market performance, including planning ability, technical analysis ability, market judgment ability and the ability to maintain a normal heart.
Therefore, learning futures is as difficult as making a stable profit in the futures market. And this threshold has also discouraged many people.
Besides, I can't learn many things if I want to. Anyone who has his own futures trading system has paid a lot of tuition before that.
In fact, most investors are doomed to be losers, which cannot be changed. So in the process of learning, don't use your own eyes to learn, especially when you are just getting started. At first you thought you could understand the market and overestimated yourself. Many people who have been trading for a long time feel that they have only learned a little. "-a futures trader.
On the way of continuous learning, I know more and more, don't know more and more, broaden my horizons and patterns, and have a clearer understanding of myself, which is one of the reasons why futures players are more modest.
In addition, there may be a more important reason: modesty can talk less because there is no common language.
As far as I know, people who do futures generally don't like to communicate with others, or rather, they don't like to communicate with novices.
Do they look down on novices?
Not exactly.
Because you may not understand what they say.
The significance of a futures exchange is not to disagree, but to arouse thinking. Thinking is to improve its trading logic, so as to beat other participants for profit. Most senior futures players are solitary, not blindly superstitious, and do not expect to hold other people's thighs, think independently and judge independently.
When any friend around you is proud to make people want to hit him, then quickly suggest him to go to the futures market. I don't think the effect will be lost.
