First of all, successful short-term traders have no concept of direction. Whether it is the stock market or the futures market, most people are predicting the market and judging the direction. In fact, from the cycle theory, the long-term trend does have a certain direction, while the short-term market contains too much uncertainty. Rational and irrational trading emotions are flooding the market all the time. Newton, a great scientist, said this after the stock market was frustrated: I can accurately calculate the orbit of celestial bodies, but I can't calculate the madness of human nature in the stock market. Therefore, successful short-term traders never predict the market, but always follow the market and constantly adjust their trading direction. There is a saying that a master is a backhand.
Secondly, successful short-term traders have no concept of expectation. The direction is relative to the market and the expectation is relative to the transaction. Almost everyone wants to make a profit, which increases their expectation of profit, which in turn maintains their original judgment on the market, and they don't admit their mistakes or stop losses when they are wrong. I don't know the list of successful masters and I don't want to know whether it is a loss or a gain. The only thing I know is the wrong chop or backhand. The philosophy that shells don't fall in the same pit needs to be understood slowly.
