Why is it difficult to succeed in trading? This is determined by the characteristics of trading. Within a certain range and with limited resources, trading is a loser game, or a negative-sum game. This is also known. So if you want to make a consistent profit, it is like taking money directly from someone else's pocket during the day. Do you think it is difficult?

Since you know it is a loser's game, then to find a way to make a profit in a loser's game is to minimize mistakes, which can usually be described as self-discipline, or the target you are observing is a winner's game in a specific period, so try to do the right thing (for example, China's stock index is rising from a large scale, because there is a win-win situation, so it is a winner's game on a large scale. Without any leverage, buy at a relatively low level appropriately and continue to buy, and on a large time scale, the average income is very good);

The targets of our usual transactions are usually on a medium to short time scale. This makes it a loser's game. To make a profit, we must try not to make mistakes. However, not making mistakes is more difficult than doing the right thing, and the probability of success is lower, making it even more difficult to succeed in trading.

Common mistakes include: not following the rules, improper fund management, inadequate execution, lack of self-discipline, etc., which can make us make mistakes. In this way, we can avoid making mistakes. Then, we should start from our own cognition and first establish trading rules. Without rules, there is no confidence, and without confidence, we will naturally be tested by fear every moment.

Then the process becomes

Establish criteria - verify criteria - criteria conform to rules - build confidence - continue to do things that conform to criteria - turn into belief - the body rejects mistakes
