For a beginner who has just entered the futures market, he often faces many puzzles and questions and doesn't know how to learn. At first, I may think that futures trading is not difficult, but after a period of trading and frequent losses, I will be disappointed and confused, and I don't know how to continue. I read a lot of books and tried many methods, but I couldn't succeed. Many people also left futures. In order to help the investment friends who love futures clear up their learning ideas, find the correct learning methods, and finally master the trading skills of stable profit; From the perspective of individual investors, this paper discusses the ways and objects of learning.
There are the following aspects:
1, reading
Many classics are read repeatedly for a long time, and at the same time, I will make good reading notes, repeat the author's thoughts, ideas and structure as much as possible, simplify the core content of condensed books, compare different books, and write my own thoughts after reading. Although I think most books on the market are useless or incomplete or one-sided, there are still some classic books. A good person has a quality that he is good at gaining experience from other people's experiences, rather than trying everything himself. Only in this way can your vision and mind be broad enough. If you are broad-minded, you can accommodate futures and futures, and you can do futures well! In the process of growing up, I learned the trading styles of at least 10 successful traders. Some of them do intra-day ultra-short-term, some do intra-day band, some do multi-day mid-line, and some do long-term cross-year. I learned and communicated with them through various channels, summed up their respective characteristics and experiences, and then combined with their trading habits, after a period of tempering, I gradually formed a suitable set.
Step 2 write trading notes
Self-made Excel tables, recording every operation. Including date, variety, time period, direction, price, number of lots, reasons for opening positions, closing date, number of positions, closing price, reasons for closing positions, profit and loss, whether the plan is implemented and summarized. There will be a monthly summary every month and an annual summary at the end of the year. This habit has been maintained since the beginning of trading, which is attributed to the habit formed in my school days, as well as other jobs. People are always forgetful, and when they are cured, they forget the pain.
Step 3 fail
That's all that matters. Through the above study, I know what to do. But only after experiencing loss, pain, insomnia, anxiety, despair standing on the edge of a cliff, etc. Will you carve the right things into your bones and completely abandon the wrong things?
We should conscientiously sum up and draw lessons from experience.
Many friends have been looking for the right way to learn futures, or hope to find the "trick" to learn futures. For friends in the futures learning stage, the most important and critical learning method is actually one, that is: summary, summary, and then summary! In the process of learning futures, there are mainly three kinds of teachers: one is a successful trader; Second, various futures trading books; The third is the record sheet of your daily operation. The record sheet of our own operation is the basis of our study, from which we find problems, and then through study, thinking, research, analysis, and continuous summary, we find ways to deal with them. When you find solutions to different problems, your trading ability will naturally improve. So summary is the key to futures learning, and many friends don't attach importance to it.
The road to profit is not crowded, because not many people persist, and success requires noble guidance, but not many people have mentors. Growth requires continuous learning, but not many people can learn, and they need to be prepared on the road to profit, but not many people need to be prepared, and they need to pay on the road to investment, but not many people know how to pay. You need to plan on the way to trading, but many people are planned by others. You need goals on the way to your post, but many people achieve them for others. Learn to "go all out" and give up "go all out". In this market, only the "leftover is king".
