Brother Piao is a professional trader, and his trading situation has been up and down over the years, but his life is colorful.
I went to Kunming on the weekend, met Brother Piao by Lugu Lake, talked to him about his situation, and sincerely admired his life posture.
When I saw him, he was wearing a sun-protective suit, a sunhat, and riding a high-end bicycle, and he called out to me from afar.
We found a place to have a coffee, and I asked him, you used to travel in the wilderness, but now you have switched to cycling.
He was embarrassed to tell me that the economic situation is not good now, and he can't afford to drive, so he can only ride.
I said that you have not been quite stable over the years, and I think your trading methods are very good, and you are joking with me.
He said that you are right, my trading system is quite good, in the early years I also seized the opportunity to make a lot of money, bought a house and a car, but there are unforeseen circumstances, last year my mother was sick, spent more than one million, plus this time I was more distracted, I was careless, the operation was out of control, and I lost a hundred, and then I sold the car to treat my mother.
I snorted and said that the situation is not very good, how can a professional player like you operate out of control, you have always been very cautious.
He said that he had a bad thought, because of his mother's affairs, he was too bothered, and one day he suddenly fell into a trance, which caused his movements to be deformed during trading, and when he sobered up, he lost a lot of money inexplicably.
I am not surprised by his mistakes, because traders are human beings, and it is impossible for human beings to be rational all the time, and sometimes they are distracted by other things, and then they make some low-level mistakes.
I said, why don't you stay at home to take care of your mother now, and still have the leisure to go out for a ride.
He said that his mother had recovered, but he had been hollowed out. Then he sighed, saying that he had been quite successful in trading over the years and made a lot of money, but last year's luck was not good, and the sudden bad luck made him seriously ruined, but fortunately, he and his mother are healthy now, which is very gratifying, as long as he and his family are healthy, the money will be slowly earned back in the future. I can't stay idle at home, travel is already the meaning of my life, now the economic situation is not very good, I choose to ride, the recent plan is to ride around Lugu Lake and Dianchi Lake.
I said that after that runaway operation, you lost so much, do you still continue to trade? Still disappointed in the uncontrollable trading.
He said that he did not give up, he likes trading very much, trading and traveling are the two great pleasures of his life, and he enjoys the life of trading while traveling, so he is used to it freely, and he will continue. That unexpected loss of control was not a problem with my own trading methods, but because of my poor mental state, that is, I arranged my own fortune at that stage, I don't admit that I failed, and then I am confident that I will counterattack.
I said that in the past, you drove an off-road vehicle to travel, and you had millions on hand, but now in this situation, you should be troubled by the sense of disparity.
He said no, he is a professional trader, he has never seen any winds and waves, what is the difference between such fluctuations in life and the ups and downs of the market, and he accepts the objective facts that have happened. Life is the process of experience, experiencing different things, seeing different landscapes, and living in different environments. In the past, if I had money, I would drive around the country, but now I don't have any money, so I ride, which is a different experience, and I feel very fulfilling. Then he said that even if the situation is worse in the future, he has no money and debts, so he will go to work, or go to set up a stall to do a small business, experience a different life, and accept it calmly in his mentality, and treat it with an optimistic attitude, life is nothing more than birth, old age, sickness and death.
I chatted with him for three hours, very rewarding, I was moved by his open-minded and free attitude of life, he has been up and down all these years, climbed over the peaks, down the troughs, but is still on the road as always, moving forward bravely, the changes and blows of life can not destroy his passion for chasing the love of his life, he is really living for himself, it is already worth it.
This is the advantage of professional traders, idle clouds and wild cranes, unrestrained, can swim in the game of the financial market, can parade in the mountains and rivers, can travel between winning and losing.
Of course, the state of the trader group is also varied, he is just one of them, everyone has his own story, as a kind, sympathetic to each other, encourage together.
I am also a professional trader, a positive energy communicator who likes to share the experience of trading, I like to like it casually, if you have any questions, you can leave a private message on the headlines, I will reply when I see it, and we will see you next time.
