Chapter 6: The Cost of 'Maintaining a Good Attitude'
Friday, June 12, 2015
Heavy fell 1.42 yuan, and some friends in the stock bar and the group complained. It stands to reason that yesterday's sharp rise and today's pullback is normal, but everyone's mentality is like this, which makes me feel a little.
In the stock market, as long as you are a human being, it is inevitable that there will be emotional fluctuations, and it is a difficult cultivation process to achieve the realm of not being shocked by the ups and downs, having shares in your hands and no shares in your heart.
For example, on February 26, 2015, I entered Wanjiale at a price of 5.29 yuan, and since then, the stock has been moving ahead in a small yin and small yang way, and then reduced and increased positions, survived the long washing period from March 24 to May 8, 2015, and then continued to increase positions on May 11. On June 8th, the stock rose and did not stop, along with the volume, on June 9th began to shuffle, near the close, I was in the area of 12.90 yuan, sharply reduced the position, leaving only the bottom position, and then three days, continuous rise, today is to close the limit. Luckily, I still have a bottom position to make a profit, and I console myself with that, and I can still look at this stock and write these things, I feel like I'm okay.
At each node of the stock, a 'yes or no' judgment must be made, and each judgment may immediately bring a 'profit or loss', which is the difference between the stock market and real life, in life, a judgment of yours may take days, years or even a lifetime to know the result, while in the stock market, you can know the result tomorrow, in a few hours, or even a few minutes. This is a stimulus that makes many people addicted, and most of the short-term customers of retail investors have this addiction, and frequent buying and selling is the external manifestation of this addiction.
In the past, I used to be excited or annoyed every time I judged whether it was correct or not, and even so annoyed that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, now, I have found a way to calm myself, that is, the method of reducing positions and locking profits, when the stock rises to a height that I think is okay, I will reduce or clear my position, if it rises again, I still have a bottom position, if it falls, I will copy the bottom according to 'my trading system'.
Every time I talk to my good friends about 'my trading system', there is always a lot of ridicule, and everyone still leaves me with face, and I don't say anything like this in front of me: 'Grass, a broken little scatter, and a hairy trading system!' Even if I say it, I will not be embarrassed by this, I am an engineering background, so many years, I have realized that stock trading is not a single technology, but a collection of mentality, intuition, trading tools, stock selection strategies, buying strategies, holding strategies and selling strategies, although I am still a small scatter, but I dare to pull out my chest here and say 'my trading system' is not ashamed at all, but I am sincerely happy that I have such an understanding, since I have' My trading system is more confident than before, my shots are more restrained, and the gains are greater, which is enough for me.
I know that there are a lot of immortals in the stock bar, and I am not ashamed to see me show off here with the mentality of watching monkey tricks, I just earn my part in the stock market and am proud of it.
Someone asked me, since you reduced your position yesterday, why didn't you sell it out, if that's the case, wouldn't it be better for you to catch it at a low position today.
I could only answer him like this: "I don't know if there is a low position today, if I do this, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep well at night, in order to have a solid sleep, I choose to reduce my position instead of clearing it." ”
That's what I'm going to say as 'keeping a good mindset' comes at the price.
