Many traders are often troubled by emotional trading and execution problems. Execution is not only a problem of consciousness, but also a practical problem. People often enter the market before waiting for signals, or close their positions when they see a small profit, and repeat this process.
Such problems are often attributed to lack of self-control, but this is not the case. The key is to understand the root cause of the problem. Success is not only about knowing the truth, but also about understanding and verification in practice. Just like "unity of knowledge and action", the truth needs to be combined with personal experience to be internalized as a code of conduct.
To execute a trading system, two elements are required: one is the correct method, and the other is the motivation for execution. The correct method is the principles and rules of the trading system, and the motivation comes from confidence in the system, which is based on the recognition of the principles and the support of profit data.
Taking farming as an example, the reason why the 24 solar terms can guide farming is that there is a scientific principle of the earth's revolution behind it, plus the data accumulation of long-term practice. Similarly, the trading system also needs principle support and data verification. Only when the trader is sure that the system is effective and profitable can he firmly execute it.
Therefore, if the execution is poor, it should be examined whether the principles of the trading system are clear and whether the data supports profitability. Only when the system itself can stand up to scrutiny can traders execute without distraction. I hope this analysis can provide inspiration for traders who are troubled by execution.
