Painful memories of foreign exchange trading: Huiyou's true sharing

Forex trading is blissful because it does bring the satisfaction of making quick profits. Forex trading is also painful because it can make people lose everything in a short period of time. Recently, we launched a survey around some foreign exchange traders. The topic is "What are some unforgettable pains in your foreign exchange trading life?". Here are some responses from Huiyou, and you are welcome to write about your feelings in the comment area:

Fiona：The most painful thing is that after doing the transaction, his appearance has dropped a lot, and it is very sad to think about it.

A vegetarian pig:He started trading for the second time in the middle of 10 years. Due to the platform factor, he opened an account with a thousand times leverage, but the position was liquidated within a week, and the whole person was stunned... I smoked two packs of cigarettes in the afternoon, and the next day, I was in a good mood, and changed the remaining 10,000 dollars to another platform to continue investing.

14 years ago, I would wake up before 10am every day, go to bed after 3am, cook a lunch for three meals (because I was afraid to leave the computer at dinner). I always worried when I went out to buy food or accompany friends on weekends, afraid of unexpected risks. These 4 years have turned my appearance from brother to uncle...

Beloved:Losing money in a row, losing money no matter what you do, losing money when you go long, and losing money when you go short. Completely losing confidence in your trading strategy, questioning the system, and questioning yourself, that feeling is terrible.

Niuniu's temper is very gray:I have been trading for more than two years. In the first year, I made little trouble and didn't make much money or lose much. In the second year, I made more than 1 million yuan, but I didn't withdraw in time. The full warehouse operation experienced a liquidation, and all the profits were returned. The money was gone all of a sudden, and I was very disappointed. After all, I am no longer a novice who has just entered the market. I have painstakingly studied it, but because of the lack of risk control and the greed of human nature, I lost my profit and part of the principal, which hurt my vitality. The lessons learned are: 1. Don't increase your leverage at any time; 2. What you think is not necessarily what you think; 3. Investing is not the whole of life; 4. Gaining and losing are equal. In trading, you must endure loneliness in order to keep prosperity.

Simple:Ever since I had the nightclub, I have never had a personal life.

Duan Yuewei:The most painful experience is: when you think the biggest loss has taught you something, in fact, there are a series of losses waiting for you. When you think this is hell, it is actually far from the 18th hell.

Chasing Dreams:I have been working in foreign exchange for three years, and I have always paid great attention to position management. I placed an order quantitatively with a loss, and the loss was fixed at 1%. The position was also safe. But one day I accidentally clicked wrong, made a hand, and found that there was a lot of floating profit in an instant, and the gamble came up. I kept taking big positions at small levels, and lost 50% of the principal in one night. Later, because the loss was too large, I was in a hurry to recover, and I stopped following the strategy, and finally completely liquidated the position. After the first liquidation, I didn't dare to touch the transaction for three months, and it never slowed down.

Ignorance:Every time I can't follow the trading discipline, I know it's not feasible but I can't control it. The regret and self-blame when I lose money later have nothing to do with money, but a feeling of incompetence and helplessness.

Pineapple Prince:The most painful thing is to repeatedly do a wrong thing, but you don't know it, or you know it but you can't correct it.

Zhou Lele:Every day in front of a few computers, acne, affecting my search for partners.

Liu Hui:At that time, a colleague had diarrhea. He waited for the non-farm data on Friday, and then... he was happily forced to pull his crotch by the non-farm, and the smell filled the entire trading room...

I am not genuine.The most painful thing is to make a lot of money and then slowly lose it back - not only money, but also confidence and willpower.

Luo Yu:The most difficult thing is how to maintain caution and awe towards the market in the midst of continued profitability. The liquidation of the position is not terrible, and it will pass after a while; after blind optimism and loss of awe, it is not far from the liquidation of the position again.

Zero boundary:It was very difficult to give up all the orders that he was not completely sure of. Even if he felt that he could do it later, he could not have the slightest regret. The discipline of mental will, the persistence of good positions, the ruthlessness of bad positions, the numbness of losses, and the right to profit - in short, keep absolute calm, just like an ATM.

Alago:The most difficult ones are "doing it but not knowing" and "knowing it but not doing it". The first is to do it, make a profit and lose money. I don't know what the basis is, and it's not clear whether I can replicate the profit model. The second is to know that this operation will definitely make a profit and that operation will definitely lose money, but as soon as the real deal arrives, I am confused. What should be earned is not earned, and what should not be lost is lost. The so-called "those in charge are obsessed".

Fu Yanyan:At present, the most difficult thing was to achieve the unity of knowledge and action. He understood a lot of truth but couldn't do it, so he wrote a motto and posted it on his desk to remind himself that he could probably execute one-third of it now. The second difficulty was "Three thousand weak waters, I only take one scoop of drink".

gxjaijr：Thinking about it was a sad experience, but now thinking about it became a little comfort in my heart. The hardest time was when I just remembered it, I forced myself not to think about it, and the pain was so painful that I doubted how I persevered. I lost too many things at that time, and I said too many times that I lost something, even if I think about it now, it's still disappointing and frustrating. I want to find it back, but I find that many things have become unrecognizable. Forget it, trading was a happy thing for me, but it was ridiculous to be mixed with too many things I didn't want to remember.

Black Swan:The most difficult part of the trading process is that when you change from a novice full of fantasies of getting rich to a veteran who studies hard, you encounter one failure after another and setbacks. After learning a lot and understanding a lot, you feel that trading is difficult, making money is not easy, and human nature is complicated. At this time, it is particularly important to be able to persevere and not go astray.

Climb and crawl:The most difficult thing is the retracement of the floating profit of the profit order. Sometimes even from the profit to the stop loss, the low level is stopped many times in a row, and the high level is chased in, and the cycle starts again and again. Anyone who has done it can understand that feeling.

Cool:After walking through, I don't want to say much, because it's too bitter. But after summing up a few words, it may resonate with others, and it is also the words in Zeng Guofan's military book: "The future is not welcome, the present is not complicated, and the past is not loved."

Fallon:The most difficult thing is loneliness and boredom. Boredom during the monitoring period is not something that ordinary people can bear. For example, there is only one opportunity to open a position every day, and it may not appear at any time.
