Calm Mindset: In trading, maintain a calm mood, face differing opinions without forcefully denying them or being swayed by others. Do not assume that viewpoints are irreconcilable. This mindset allows you to view the market from multiple dimensions and angles, helping you avoid being trapped in fixed concepts.
Equanimity: Although trading can be profitable, focusing solely on making money often leads to losses. Just like a Go player, a single-minded pursuit of victory can make it harder to win. You should cultivate a desire to win but not place too much importance on money. Starting with a small investment can help develop equanimity, as having less capital makes it easier to achieve a calm mindset.
Self-Understanding: Understand that there are many opportunities in the market; not every trade will be profitable, and losses are part of trading. It's not a loss to miss an opportunity; making the right call is luck, and making the wrong call is acceptable as long as you avoid fatal mistakes. Accepting losses is a form of self-understanding.
Communication Atmosphere: Traders need to communicate, whether online or offline, and should engage in active discussions. Mutual understanding and support in this atmosphere help nurture a positive mindset, making trading more effective.
