I remember watching an advertisement often when I was a child. The picture showed a person using all his strength to climb to the top of the mountain. The slogan of the advertisement was that a wise man should use the force of his opponent. From the time we learned to count to the present day, we have basically been learning things that are already established or discovered and invented by others. From a certain perspective, we have always been using the force of our opponent, and this is also the fastest way to grow.
For example, when we introduce someone, in order to highlight his excellence, we often say that he learned from a certain expert or graduated from a famous university. If you think about it, they mean the same thing. If someone's teacher is outstanding, then from the perspective of "a good teacher produces an outstanding apprentice", this apprentice should also be extraordinary in some aspect.
There is no shortage of famous teachers and experts in famous universities. Students who grow up and study in such an environment will definitely be excellent as long as they have a certain level of determination. Most people have similar IQs, they just have one more opportunity. Although we also advocate hard work, sometimes opportunities are also important, so there is a truth that "listening to your words is better than reading for ten years".
Learning trading is even more so, because it is more difficult than learning other things. Not only do you have to learn the basics, be able to draw inferences from one instance to another, know the operating mode of the market, but you also have to sublimate your own philosophical thinking to conduct research. It is not easy for amateur traders to do these things, because they have very limited time to invest, and it is difficult to get in touch with people in related fields. This is somewhat contradictory to our desire to make money, so systematic learning is very important, and leveraging is equally important. As I said before, trading goes through 9 stages. In some stages, you need to get through them by yourself, and in some stages, you find that you are really powerless on your own. At this time, when you are most helpless and feel that you are going around in circles and don’t even know how many circles you have turned, you need to leverage. Otherwise, even if you can get out on your own, you don’t know what the difference is between what you can achieve and what others can achieve. Maybe you make money after hard work, but what about the rate of return and success?
You are just comparing yourself with yourself yesterday. Perhaps some people will think that the previous article mentioned that everyone has different ways of thinking, different personalities, and different trading methods. Why can we learn from others? First of all, you have to know that no matter how complex the market is, it is ultimately made up of people, and people's greed, fear, and arrogance have remained unchanged for thousands of years. Here, borrowing strength does not necessarily mean copying and pasting other people's things. What is more important is to summarize a method that suits you through their way of thinking. After all, everyone's trading philosophy is to be understood and experienced by themselves, but the ideas understood and experienced in this large unchanging environment will not be similar by coincidence!
