If I hadn't witnessed my mentor's trading process, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Do you want to know how powerful the trading master is, anyway, I have seen it, and that year I was shocked by the calm realm of the teacher's profit and loss in the transaction, which made me gain a lot of knowledge.
Ten years ago, I had been losing money on trading for three years, and I was starting to get lost, and I realized that I couldn't do it on my own, so I started to come out of my own little world and embark on a journey to learn from my teacher.
After continuing to meet a few unreliable mediocre teachers, I finally met the person who was really powerful, that is, my mentor, because I had a good conversation, and he asked me to trade under him.
At first, he didn't tell me much about his trading methods, but just asked me to follow along, so I also got a foreign exchange account worth 1,000 US dollars and followed him step by step. The trading style of the teacher is to only set a stop loss without a take profit, only operate volatile trading varieties, only operate the explosive market, and the profit and loss ratio is also very large.
I started the actual battle in March, this month the wins and losses were mixed, and the trading account was in a situation of small drawdown, I have a feeling that his trading method is grinding back and forth, wasting energy in vain, and it is very dull.
One day in early April, I suddenly caught a big wave of the trend, and turned defeat into victory, and the account made a little profit, I was pleasantly surprised, but the teacher had no waves.
In mid-April, I happened to be full of confidence and ready to make persistent efforts, but there was a continuous stop loss, the 6th single and stop loss, my heart was a little floating, the eighth single stop loss, I was worried, the tenth single stop loss, I began to panic, but I still stubbornly continued to copy, the thirteenth single continued to stop loss, I lost confidence, no longer follow the operation of the fourteenth single. On the other hand, the teacher had a disapproving expression from beginning to end, and continued to operate as always, and his heart was so calm and calm. The next fourteen and fifteen orders were correct, and some of the capital was recovered, and then at the end of the month, it was a situation of alternating profits and losses, and this month as a whole, my trading account retreated by 30%.
It started in May, and we were still operating as usual, but I was a little depressed and began to question whether this teacher was also a mediocre teacher, but what happened next changed my opinion.
On a dark and windy night, we shorted the Dow, the stop loss was brought, the take profit was not set, and after the teacher placed an order, he said that he would see the results the next day, so he turned off the trading software and took me out for a massage.
The next morning, we went to the studio together, opened the trading account to see, I couldn't believe my eyes, last night the Dow plummeted all the way, we ambushed the empty order to make crazy money, just rely on this, I not only return to the capital, but also earn 20%, such a game to turn the tide, let me be so excited to shout "cool", I suddenly felt that the teacher in front of me is too godly, I opened a bottle of beer and drank it all.
On the other hand, when he saw the big victory of last night's list, there was no trace of excitement in his heart, and there was no wave. I wondered and asked, "Why aren't you excited about such a big victory, you should celebrate."
The teacher said, what is exciting, it's not strange.
I asked again, before the continuous stop loss of more than 10 orders, why don't you panic, when I stopped 8 orders in a row, the palms of my hands were sweating.
The teacher said, what is the panic, it's not strange.
Then he told me, I have experienced too many such storms, I have experienced 16 consecutive stop-loss orders, what am I afraid of after 13 consecutive stop-loss orders? And I also made twice as much profit on the Dow as last night, what am I excited about when you say that last night's profit.
In the end, it told me that I have experienced many worse situations and many sharper wins, and these insights have made me wonder about all kinds of situations in trading, and the reason why you are happy and worried is that you have too little knowledge, and you do not know enough and lack of faith in the trading system.
I later thought about it, and there are three reasons why my mentor remains calm and calm in various situations in trading:
First, his trading cognition is very comprehensive, and he has realized the way to make a profit in trading.
Second, he has a firm belief in his trading system, so there is no wave in the number of consecutive stop-loss orders during the unfavorable period.
Third, he has experienced all kinds of better and worse situations, he has seen big winds and waves, and he is used to some small waves.
What is a real master trader is not how good his trading methods are, nor how ingenious and wonderful he is in the process of making profits, but when he is in various violent favorable or unfavorable periods, he can maintain tranquility and calmness.
He has had a sudden and sharp victory and is not ecstatic; he has also had the worst consecutive defeats, but he has not panicked; he has seen the strangeness and strangeness of the market, and he has also experienced the complexity and changeability of human nature, and when facing various situations, he can be neither impatient nor impatient, and be calm.
He accepts everything that happens, accepts everything that makes a profit or a drawdown. The market is changing, the rules are changing, and the market is changing, but he responds to all changes with the same.
Whoever can stay calm in the continuous stop loss, remain calm in the big win, and stay sober in the grinding and grinding, who is the real trading master.
At the end of the transaction, it is a contest of mood, I like a sentence: pampering and humiliation, watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, going to stay unintentionally, and wandering with the clouds outside the sky to taste comfort.
Finally, I want to tell you that if you are now in a frenzy of trading, and all kinds of emotions, then you are really too tender.
Share here today, it's not easy to create code words, like it, just like it, if you have any questions, you can leave a private message in the headlines, I see it will be back, I wish everyone better and better, and encourage each other.
