Trading: Don’t compare who earns more, but who lives longer

The financial industry can be said to be a life of Buddha. You may often hear about which friend has become rich overnight, but you will also hear about which friend is facing bankruptcy and debt repayment and suddenly collapses. In the futures spot trading career, these things are more realistic and make people doubt life.

Those former traders have lost contact and are nowhere to be found. Some have switched to become analysts, some have switched to become callers, some have become salesmen, and some have crossed industries. There are very few who are still trading.

Spot futures trading is an entertainment plate, because it is well known that if you want to survive in the futures spot market, how to make big money and make fast money is very difficult, because risks and returns are proportional. If you want to make a lot, you will lose a lot. If you want to make money quickly, you will lose quickly! So it is better to give up these obsessions and don’t compare how much you earn and how little you turn. As long as you can live long, your understanding of the futures market will become more profound, and with the increase of trading experience and the accumulation of time, you will definitely gain a lot.

Seven years have passed since I entered the financial investment industry. Among my friends, I have experienced or seen too many ups and downs, such as getting rich overnight and suddenly collapsing.

Some of my colleagues who behaved crazily at that time fled to other places to avoid debt, some were imprisoned, and more may have changed industries and their whereabouts are unknown.

Most of those who still keep in touch are relatively stable and have survived well. At the age of nearly 40, I am no longer interested in how to make big money or make quick money. What I am concerned about is finding a way to survive in the market in a long-term and stable manner.
