In the trading industry, finding like-minded friends is extremely difficult, mainly because of differing financial situations, varying tolerance for drawdowns, and different accepted trading philosophies.
There is a saying: there are two things in this world that are the hardest, one is taking money from someone else's pocket, which is difficult. The second is conveying your own ideas to others, which is also difficult.
Everyone, especially after spending some time in the market, tends to believe that their strategy or idea is the best, and often finds it hard to accept others' ideas, resulting in very few friends to exchange thoughts with, and mostly talking to oneself.
In the trading market, an individual's ideas and experiences are very limited. If there is a small team to exchange ideas and experiences together, strategies can mature more quickly; as the saying goes: three cobblers with their wits combined can outsmart Zhuge Liang.
For trend strategies, although there is the turtle trading rule as a guide, there are also many details that need to be refined in actual trading, such as perfecting entry and exit points, choosing the right instruments, allocating funds for each instrument, regularly adjusting the instrument allocation, and so on.
Therefore, if you can have a few like-minded friends to exchange ideas with, progress will be a shortcut to rapid growth, and you must cherish it.
