The trading market is a stage that is both tempting and cruel. Many traders rise and fall here, often blaming losses on external factors, but in fact most of them come from inner imagination and unrealistic expectations. We are often inspired by the counterattack stories of those legendary traders, but ignore the countless failures and unyielding efforts behind them.
When you first enter the market, you may be able to make a small gain by luck, but the complacency at this time is often a precursor to an unbalanced mentality. You have a high self-esteem, despise the failures of others, and think that you can easily copy success, but the result is often blindly heavy positions, and ultimately failure. At this time, people suddenly realized that trading is not a simple copy and paste, but requires deep understanding, rigorous strategies and a peaceful mentality.
Although trading can be a way to change your destiny, it is by no means a shortcut to get rich overnight. It requires us to stay calm in market fluctuations, use wisdom to capture every opportunity, and do a good job of risk management to avoid being driven by greed and fear. Mentality, as the core of trading, determines our behavior patterns and final results.
Therefore, when our mentality is unbalanced and our behavior becomes disordered, chaos will follow us. Not only will the transaction be in trouble, but life will also be affected. At this time, we should remember the teachings of the great man: "Abandon fantasy and prepare for a long-term battle." This means that we must abandon those unrealistic fantasies, face the market with a pragmatic attitude, make long-term plans, and persist in learning and improvement, so that we can go further and further on the road of trading and finally realize the change of destiny.
In short, the trading market is a marathon, not a 100-meter sprint. Only by maintaining humility, tenacity and rationality can we keep moving forward in this long journey and reap our own success and growth.
