【Should be free of attachment·and give rise to the mind】
This is the core essence of the Diamond Sutra, which means that when we are doing things, we should not bring in an obsession with the results: it must be done in a very objective way to achieve perfection, while the specific results are beyond our control, and how we do things is what we can control.
Similarly, in trading, at the moment we place the order, we only need to perfectly integrate our rules, discipline, techniques, and understanding into our decision-making and execution, and the remaining results will be answered by the market.
What we can control is the moment we place the order; the result is determined by the market, which we cannot grasp.
An obsession with results only affects our decision-making execution, bringing harm without any benefit.
【First Positioning, Then Action】
What is my purpose in choosing the trading industry? What results do I want to achieve? What kind of person do I want to become?
Positioning: I want to become a trader and make trading my lifelong career and job.
Requirements: What does it take to become a trader?
Core of the core: Uphold discipline, uphold rules.
This is what must be done and possessed to become a trader.
What is the purpose of upholding discipline and rules?
1️⃣ Survive! Survive in this capital hunting ground.
2️⃣ Protect your principal! Protect your profits! This is your life.
Like climbing stairs, steadily ascending.
How to engrave discipline and rules in your mind to become instinctual?
Firmly execute!
Turn knowledge into action, then internalize and upgrade it into trading instinct.
Who is the biggest enemy and obstacle to upholding discipline and rules?
Luck!
This is the biggest tumor; a moment of luck, especially profitable luck, is a devastating blow to the establishment of discipline and rules awareness!
Only gamblers will submit to luck!
If you cannot uphold discipline and rules in this lifetime, you will never become a trader, and you will never elevate trading to a lifelong career and job!
【Enforcing Discipline = Strengthening Discipline Awareness】
Practical data proves: strict enforcement of discipline can better achieve account stability.
And to engrave discipline in your mind, in your subconscious, the only method is to continuously execute it.
1️⃣ Every time discipline is enforced, it is like using a hammer to drive the 'nail' of discipline deeper into your head, making it penetrate further each time.
2️⃣ Every time a discipline is violated, it's like pulling the 'nail' of discipline out of your head a bit, causing the awareness of discipline to loosen.
Therefore, to engrave discipline into your mind and make it an instinctive subconscious, the only method is to continuously enforce it strictly until the 'nail' of discipline is completely hammered deep into your mind and integrates with your head.
To strictly enforce discipline at any moment—when the state is not good, emotions are wrong, and in an unconscious state—it is essential to engrave discipline deeply in your mind.
【A Simple Heart Makes Trading Simple】
The candlestick chart is like a mirror, reflecting the most genuine aspects of each person's inner self, so the candlestick charts in everyone's eyes are different.
Therefore, the way to make trading simple is to simplify your heart; if it goes up, it's up; if it goes down, it's down; don't mix in too many subjective thoughts.
Big direction + important support and resistance levels are breakthrough + response strategies.
That's all there is to it; trading is just this simple. Don't overthink it; what you see is the most real.
【Everyone is a Trading Master】
Trading is a particularly simple thing, simple enough to achieve stable profits using just a moving average.
At the same time, trading is a super difficult thing, difficult enough that after learning various indicators and techniques, one still ends up losing or even blowing up.
The difference lies in human nature.
The candlestick chart is like a mirror, perfectly reflecting our human flaws and amplifying them infinitely.
The market we see is actually a reflection of our own human nature, so each person's view of the market is different.
Fear and greed can make trading extremely complicated, so often after reviewing, one realizes it’s just that simple, but being in the midst of trading is completely another matter.
Those who trade well do not possess extraordinary techniques; on the contrary, the techniques they use are simple to the point of being shocking. It's just that they can handle emotions better while trading.
So, do not think that trading is too difficult, and please do not flatter those trading masters.
Trading is like the Buddhist practice of cultivating Buddhism; everyone is a Buddha, and everyone is a trading master. What we need to do is just find him.
Everything is inherently complete; everything starts from simplicity.
