A few days ago, a friend complained to me that trading was too difficult, saying that he was possessed by the god of bad luck. He had not made a single profit in more than a week, and he was losing money every day. He had made dozens of sweep orders in a row. Even if it was a bet on the size, his low winning rate was too outrageous. He asked me if the market was a scam, and whether it was impossible for retail investors to make a profit under the eyes of the dealer. This made me laugh and cry, because such a comparison is actually very unscientific. Why? Because when you bet on the size of a coin, the coin you throw in each round returns to your hand, and the entire scene and conditions are completely reset. This throw is not affected by the The influence of the last or the result of the last time, each round is a new beginning
But is trading like this? Let's think about it, it's not
The most common problem for many people is that they refuse to admit defeat and continue to try in a signal that has been proven to fail by the trend, and they have to reverse the transaction or take it back without thinking
Just like "Thank you for your patronage" is scratched with "Evil", but he still holds the card tightly in his hand and can't put it down...
So there will be a very typical situation that the coin toss is a win or loss in a round
But in trading, a local trend, one entry signal can make two or three losses Loss order...
This is probably due to over-trading, otherwise it is basically impossible to have daily losses and continuous losses
I have roughly summarized seven reasons for retail investors' losses:
1. Lack of investment knowledge
Retail investors may not have a comprehensive understanding of the investment market and investment tools, which leads to errors in understanding and decision-making, resulting in losses
2. Emotional trading
Affected by emotions during the transaction process, impulsive trading decisions are made, resulting in losses
3. Lack of risk management awareness
May not have established a sound risk management system, and risk control measures such as stop loss points and diversified investments are not set, resulting in losses
4. Follow the hype
Easily affected by others' hype and market hotspots, follow the trend in a panic, and lose money
5. Short-sighted investment cycle
May only see the immediate benefits, but ignore the need for long-term investment, resulting in losses
6. Lack of firm investment strategy
There is no clear investment strategy and goal in the transaction process, blindly follow the trend or operate ignorantly, resulting in losses
7. Lack of trading discipline
Failure to strictly abide by their own trading plans and rules during the transaction process, and modify and adjust at will, resulting in losses#美国PCE通胀放缓
