What is the biggest detour in trading? Many people have different answers to this question. I want to talk about a very common but important angle, that is, working behind closed doors.
It is not that working behind closed doors does not yield any gains, but that a lot of time is wasted on things that already exist, and you are complacent about making a prototype for yourself. But in the end, you will definitely find that there are already mature versions on the market.
Trading is an ancient thing, and there are not too many secrets here. It is often conceited and foolish to hold the fantasy that you can find secrets that others have not discovered at will.
If you calm down at the beginning and learn obediently according to the summary of your predecessors, you will not waste a lot of time on this kind of self-touching invention and creation, and you can also save a lot of costs paid to verify your own invention and creation.
Of course, it is not that you can just start the system without thinking, but you also need a lot of deliberate practice to integrate the rules into your body, that is, to develop habits.
Many people like to say that they have a lot of resistance to execution and don’t know what to do? What should I do? There is only one best way to reduce resistance, that is, to practice a lot to develop habits. What else is lower than the resistance of habits?
After forming a habit, it is difficult for you to deviate from the rules, because if it does not conform to your habits, you will feel uncomfortable. In the practice, what else can you get besides the habit? You will get a lot of details and understanding of the details, and you will understand the importance of clear methods and clear signals. If there is no clear method, the entry signal is ambiguous, and the backtest is extremely complicated, which makes you not want to test. There is little historical verification, and you have not counted your own win rate and profit and loss ratio. You can't see your own loopholes and can't make appropriate strategy adjustments.
More importantly, when there is no verification, your execution heart is hanging, and you won't feel at ease. If you want to make this a career, don't be ambiguous, don't let your heart hang in the air, neither up nor down. If you don't miss it, you won't know what is right, if you don't insist on it, you won't know to let go, if you don't take a detour, you won't know what is the right way.
