Many friends around me like great macro narratives very much, and they always talk about Sino-US relations, the US election, and the world situation.
Before I was 30, I liked these things, and I always thought I was well-read and talented!
But it doesn't matter, these macro narratives can't make money!
Sometimes there will be some hallucinations in macro narratives, which seriously affect the trading ideas!
So, I slowly stayed away from these friends later, and tried not to listen or join the discussion!
Always think independently!
This is one of the necessary qualities for a successful trader!
