Whether you are a veteran who has been immersed in the futures market for many years, a novice who has just entered the futures market, a billionaire who has realized his dream of wealth in the futures market, or a novice who has just begun to prepare to win the first bucket of gold in the futures market, you must ask yourself, why is the market going?
The futures market is not only a trading market for bulk commodities, but also a huge melting pot, which trains the heart, brain, will, wisdom and mind. This is still a battlefield without smoke. It doesn't believe in tears, has no pity for failure, and is cruel and heartless.
It is an industry, but there is no attendance, no superior, and the rewards and punishments are up to you. It gives you maximum self-respect, self-respect, self-reliance and self-improvement, and gives full play to your talents and abilities.
It is the highest form of market economy and a university without a diploma, which allows you to study politics, economy, financial science and technology with the greatest breadth and depth. It always turns the wheel of poverty and wealth, win and lose, fate and luck, wealth accumulation and asset impairment, and sends a group of investors on an endless journey.
In the futures market institute, investing in theory, technical analysis, global finance and world economy, avoiding all kinds of systematic and non-systematic risks, and catching opportunities such as skills, policies, market scenarios and news stories, let people truly realize the endless learning and make people tirelessly explore the mystery of the market sphinx.

In the melting pot of futures market, people have had the joy of making profits and the pain of being quilted. They know how to endure from the pain of loss, know how to be steady from the fluctuation of ebb and flow, and realize from the transformation of bulls and bears that there is no immortal emperor in the market, and the best consultant is themselves. The market does not believe in tears, but only saves itself.
The futures market constantly melts greed and fear with the fire of capital, so that all investors know that the real value lies in a peaceful mind.
Finding the basis for buying and selling, the mentality and realm of "let the wind and waves rise and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai" is the highest realm of people in the market. That kind of stability and peace, that kind of self-confidence, that kind of focus, that kind of tolerance, that kind of detached mentality in the market heart and outside the period, is very human.
Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West tells the story of Tang Priest, Wukong, Bajie and Friar Sand seeking Buddhist scriptures in the West. When they go to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, they don't really need to learn Buddhist scriptures, because they already know all the Buddhist scriptures.
Isn't that what the futures market is like? Over the past 300 years, there have been thousands of investment books, but how many people really understand the essentials of investment? People in the market can only get the real experience of investment by their own perception, and all omnipotent software and magic weapons can't replace their own perception and cultivation.
All failures, not markets, not risks, are caused by our own reasons. We have conquered ourselves, and all successes are achieved by ourselves. Obviously, real investment experience must be experienced, and you need to accumulate your own experience and lessons, and you must learn from them and use them flexibly in order to gradually become an investment expert.

On the road to becoming a futures hero, we must go through six ups and downs, or stages. Only by crossing all this can you succeed. Of course, some geniuses don't need to go through these six ups and downs, but they are very few, and we can ignore them.
The first stage is learning theory. All those who want to be futures heroes must learn some classical futures theory knowledge, including basic analysis, technical analysis and mentality control. Technical analysis also includes Dow theory, wave theory, Gann theory and so on.
In addition, the futures market is a battlefield without smoke, so you'd better look for books such as The Art of War, Woods and Strategy. You'd better study diamond sutra, altar sutra, heart sutra, Tao Te Ching and so on.
In my opinion, there has never been a field as full of so many absurd theories as the field of financial transactions, and each theory can make traders die on the wrong road. What basic analysis, value investment, Zhouyi gossip, wave theory, four-dimensional space, window of time, random walk ... as long as you set foot on any of these roads, it will be difficult to jump out again in this life.
What does the theory pursue? Theory pursues explanation. What does the method pursue? Seek a solution. The principle of a good investment theory is: profit-oriented, learning from China and the West. What we pursue is to always grasp whether we can make a profit, and then combine Chinese and western things to our advantage.
Some people say that theory can't explain everything, which is a contradiction. The definition of theory is that it can explain everything. If there is one thing that the theory can't explain, then the theory is bankrupt.
I hope to spend another 10 years. By the time I retire, I can clean up all the wrong knowledge and theories in the investment field and replace them with correct theories and methods. This is my mission and life plan.
I think the technical analysis theory with trend tracking technology as the core is the only correct smooth road. Only one technical analysis is credible, that is, trend tracking, and john mackey's morphology is also of considerable value.
What I want to say in particular is that the trend-following trading technology will never be out of date, because it directly points to the essence of the trading market. "Trend+form" is the true face of the trading market, and it is impossible for the trading market to appear in any other form.
When a volcano is silent, it doesn't mean that it is no longer a volcano. The great thing about trend-following trading technology is that it sweeps all trends-whether it is rising or falling, especially the big trend!
I want to ask my friends to remember: trend-only trend is the core secret of trading profit, and all winners rely on trend to eat, which is the truth or essence of trading.
The power of trends, especially large-scale trends, is invincible. As long as you find the direction of this trend as soon as possible and start trading accordingly, you don't have to care about the reasons driving this trend!
A big bull market or a big bear market is nothing more than a large-scale trend movement. If the bull market is compared to going uphill, then the bear market is equivalent to going downhill. Going up and down the mountain can make a lot of money, and the speed of making money by going down the mountain is more than twice as fast as that by going up the mountain.
Where there is a large-scale trend, the funds will be allocated; Which market is in a sideways state for a long time, leave which market.
In my opinion, nothing is more stupid than taking risks in a market that you are not familiar with or understand. The consequence of doing that is like an ignorant antelope breaking into the pride. "Don't do it if you are not familiar with it" and "Don't do it if you don't understand it" should be the highest principle of financial transactions.
Only by accumulating a lot of theoretical knowledge can we enter the next stage.

The content to be studied in the second stage is actual combat. This is extremely important. If those excellent people who study theory fail to pass this test, they will become armchair figures like Zhao Kuo and Ma Su, and eventually their reputation will be discredited and become eternal jokes.
Let me explain why actual combat is so important. This is because although the theories are all summed up by predecessors' experience, when they wrote these things, the situation was not exactly the same as it is now. If you copy it in actual combat, you will suffer a big loss. Actual combat is the only criterion to test the correctness of theory. Futures is a knowledge of actual combat first and action first. You can learn to swim only when you are in the water, and you can learn to futures only when you invest real money.
As a novice in futures, if you want to be a hero, you usually start with small funds. It is not appropriate to spend a lot of money from the beginning.
Most futures people will be eliminated at this level, and they will change careers and be bystanders all their lives, which is not necessarily a bad thing for them. Giving up knowing that you can't do it is also a great wisdom and a great relief.

The third stage is to learn perseverance. If you want to be a futures hero, you must bid farewell to terms such as weakness and retreat. He must have a heart of stone and perseverance.
The market is like a battlefield. When the war went to the last minute, it was a contest of will. Whoever can hold his breath until the end is the winner. In an irrational state, only people with iron will can laugh at the end. It takes three days to examine jade and seven years to identify materials.
Insist on holding your breath first. Impatience, often can not calmly judge right and wrong, resulting in regret. In many wars in history, the original advantageous side was often angered by the other side's provocation, lost his temper and rushed to send troops, thus turning the situation around. In Buddhism, some monks are secular, but they can't wait to lose their temper and sink into the world. In life and death, preserving strength is the most important thing. This is the key to winning the final victory.
Holding your breath is a kind of accomplishment. Xie An, a famous player in the Battle of Feishui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, learned that his nephew Xie Xuan had defeated the enemy and won, but he remained calm and continued to play chess.
Holding your breath is a kind of wisdom that bears the burden of humiliation. The hero Zhang Zizhong was ordered to deal with the enemy, but was mistaken for a traitor. But he held his breath, and finally he was able to complete his mission and be immortal.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang cheated hundreds of thousands of Sima Yi's troops with an empty plan, but they all stayed put. Smart people, the more urgent and dangerous, the more calm they are. Only when they calm down can they figure out a way to deal with things.
The so-called "rice is not cooked, don't make mistakes; Don't peck yourself before the eggs hatch. " Don't punch casually, only calm can have strength; Don't shed tears casually, you must hold your breath and turn grief into strength.
Calm is not the absence of right and wrong, but calm and easy, and act as soon as possible. Ji Xiezi trains cockfighting, which shows that a first-class cockfighting is not only a bluff and conceit, but also a vulnerable strong person! On the contrary, calm, calm and serene, stupefied, can always win without fighting in the end.
Therefore, in our daily life, even if we encounter setbacks or unfair things, we should not be impulsive, let alone impulsive. We must be calm and calm before we can think rationally about the solution. This is what smart people do.
Sometimes the two sides are like two stubborn people, standing there to see which side persists for a long time, and the one who can't persist will naturally lose. Whoever wins or loses in the futures market sometimes depends on whether it can stand up. In the futures battlefield, it is always useless to shout outside. You must devote yourself to the game and be responsible. Just like people who can stand it, there is hope for success.
Futures people will learn to persevere in the market. As soon as he entered the market, he saw that his friends and acquaintances were wiped out by the market, or groaned bitterly and suffered heavy losses. If you can climb out of other people's bodies and hell, you will be considered a graduate after a cruel test. Those who fail will be eliminated, and those who are as hard as stone will enter the next stage, getting closer and closer to becoming heroes.

The fourth stage is learning rationality, which is also an extremely important link. As ordinary people, we will be influenced by many things in life. So what if the game you are playing is gambling on people's lives? How would you react? In order to win, we must look for favorable opportunities and varieties. Under unfavorable conditions, we should refuse that kind of risky and uncertain battle.
When you wait for a long time with a list in an extremely tense environment and suddenly the market collapses in one direction, can you hold back your excitement and judge the situation before closing or adding positions? When you can't resist the tossing of the market and your spirit is about to collapse, can you calm down in time and stick to it? Calm down when you are in chaos!
Since you set foot on the road of futures, you should consciously ask yourself to be more rational and less emotional, regardless of your behavior or trading. You should worship, imitate and learn from the calm demeanor of ancient famous soldiers, with great wisdom and courage hidden in your chest. When your heart can't settle down like a general computer virus, sit cross-legged with your eyes closed, and try to imagine the superhuman rationality that those famous players who played Go before the war forced themselves to settle down in the frequent news. ...
Few people can get through this. The rest of the elite, let's move on!

The fifth stage is the most important stage. At this stage, you should learn to make decisions independently.
This is an important feature of a hero. You don't need a reason or a basis. You can rely on your own judgment. What you need to understand is that you control your own destiny, and you can only make up your own mind. You are the conductor, who else can you ask? You are your own god, the god who rules the world! Whether you can survive in this market depends on yourself! The main reason for anyone's failure or even extinction lies in himself.
The wonderful art of war lies in the variation of a word, the so-called good and strange, infinite as heaven and earth, inexhaustible as rivers and seas! The market is a rapidly changing world, and the decision is only between the first line. It's up to you to buy or sell, and which variety to make. There are experts around you and there is market noise, but they often don't stand on the side of truth, and it is you who decide. If they are better than you, why don't they earn their own money, but they still talk about it!

Now we have reached the last stage, at which we should learn to be strong.
In a sense, this is a very important learning content. The so-called victory or defeat of military strategists is a common occurrence, but it is just self-consolation. If you lose money, hundreds of thousands or millions, can you bear such psychological pressure? How to face your family and others?
However, your choice can only be strong, even if you have repeatedly lost and fought, you must always lose and fight! We can imagine that when you are defeated by the market many times, you will have fear of the market, and the so-called phobia comes from this. But if you take this road, you must learn to heal in battle and continue to walk with pain. Even if you are gifted and can't overcome your weaknesses, you can't be a hero.
nine
When you have all the above conditions, you will become a real hero, but there is one thing you must have, and that is luck.
Zeng Guofan said, don't believe in books, believe in luck. Although your skills are great, you can't take all the credit for yourself. You have to give up half. This "day" means luck. If you look at it this way and think about it this way, you can avoid a lot of trouble and sulk less. This is not only the way of life, but also the way of fitness.
Luck is also an important factor. Maybe just when you were confident and ready to show your talents, an unexpected thing happened. For example, multiple orders, several consecutive down limits, and losses. That's more unfair than Dou E. All your ambitions and abilities can't be put to good use.
Therefore, the road to heroism is a difficult road, and people who are not brave and unlucky can't do it. Heroes are not simple. If you want to be a qualified hero in the futures market, you must have four animal natures: wolf's ambition, elephant's tolerance, eagle's determination and fox's cunning.
In this rapidly changing market, if you want to be a real hero, you must survive in the battles again and again. Watch people around you lose money, endure endless pain, learn war in war, and strive to acquire unknown mysteries and laws. After countless failures, I have the courage to stand up from the bodies of countless people. This is how heroes grow up.
When hunting in the market, everyone is competing for wisdom, inspiration, patience, reason and association. And music has all these functions, which can restrain people's greed and fear of nature.
There are two key factors that determine a person's life: one is the cultivation of one's own ability. The most important ability of modern people is the ability to acquire resources and the way to sell them. The second is human opportunity. Everyone has several critical opportunities in his life. Those who seize the opportunity are winners, those who fail to seize the opportunity are ordinary people, and those who are postponed are losers. The same is true for futures investors. The processing ability at critical moments determines your investment results.
Futures heroes believe that the winner's experience is not complicated, that is, to find the key point of life and do their best at the critical moment. Life without decisive battle can only be said to be alive, not life; But people can't always live in a decisive battle, and the weight of constant turmoil is unbearable in life. Smart people are brave at the right time, the right place, the right person and the right party.
Therefore, if you can't be a futures hero, you don't have to be sad and disappointed at all, because this job is not up to ordinary people or even people. You ordinary people, turn around and do something else! Many friends around me bid farewell to the futures market and return to entrepreneurship. It's good to earn a lot of money with a finger keyboard, but it's the patent of a few people after all; If most people don't adapt to this market and want to retreat early, they can't indulge in this road and be decadent all their lives.
The biggest sorrow in life is that you didn't recognize yourself, didn't give full play to your strengths, but worked hard on your weaknesses, leaving a lifelong regret. The rich stories in the futures market are just wishful thinking for most people. The reason why it spread so widely may be that the predecessors said dreams and later generations took them seriously.
People living in the world must defend the dignity of human nature and cherish the beautiful things in life; The most important thing is to keep hope in the center of the earth forever. Everyone, born, is doomed to die. The only difference is that this person is either busy living or busy dying. People can only live once, but as long as they have faith, hope and live correctly, it is enough. Faith is a bird that can predict the light in the dark, and hope is the best thing the world can provide. Life should be full of birds singing symbolizing light and happiness brought by hope.
