When I first started, I thought that I failed because I didn’t have enough capital. If I had 1 million, a 10% return a year would be a piece of cake. Three years later, I gradually realized that the key was the lack of technology.
So I started to study various trading strategies in depth. Every time I thought I was about to get to the point, new problems would always emerge. Finally, when the strategy was finalized, I thought I had overcome the difficulties, but the profit was still not as expected. In fact, the root of the problem was execution, although I didn't realize it at the time, but thought it was a lack of cognition.
During this period, despite the confusion, I continued to try new methods, even analyzing all the varieties one by one, manually marking the opening and closing points. In the end, I was as skilled as an operator on an assembly line, and I could tell whether to trade at a glance. It was also during this process that I deeply realized that when the operation reaches a certain level of proficiency, all the complicated thoughts will disappear, leaving only the final result. In fact, at this stage, even those who are in the market should be able to make a profit. Indeed, since then, there have been no major ups and downs in trading, but some market conditions are still very bad, which makes people feel uneasy, meaning that the intention is not resolved, and my troubles are always with me. Although technology can temporarily cover up the problem, there will be a day when it will be exposed, and I can't turn a blind eye to it.
I don't know how long it took, but I realized something and seemed to have found the root of the problem. I have never questioned myself, but I have always overestimated myself. I have never gotten rid of the weaknesses of human nature, but I always demand others with such standards, which is pretentious and hypocritical. As described in the novel, when you cross the calamity, you need to ask your conscience. I feel guilty, or I can deceive the world but not myself. How can I achieve unity of knowledge and action with such behavior? Everyone faces different situations. Some people make profits without knowing why, but they are also financially free.
