Today, I made some money on my list. I was afraid of making a profit, so I withdrew my list and ran for a profit. As a result, the market went far and made a lot less money, so I would shout, "Fear hurt me and made me make a lot less money." The weakness of human nature is fear. " My list also made a profit a few days ago, and I didn't withdraw it. I want to earn more money. As a result, the market came back and my profit was gone. At this time, I will shout "greed has harmed me, and the weakness of human nature is greed".

We encounter similar greed or fear almost every day, so countless people say that the biggest weakness of trading is human nature, and the two weaknesses of human nature are greed and fear. Only by overcoming the weakness of human nature, greed and fear can the transaction be successful.
It sounds tall, philosophical and wise. Whether you are a real trader or not, it is said that the human weakness of trading is greed and fear. It seems that he is a great wise man with wisdom and vicissitudes. When he speaks out that "the two obstacles to trading are greed and fear", it will make us spectators feel infinite admiration and can't help admiring.

However, have you ever thought that greed hurts you at this moment and fear hurts you at the next? Greed and fear are just two opposite words, which are a pair of contradictions. Just like when you shout "My spear is the sharpest and no shield can resist", then you shout "My shield is the hardest and no spear can pierce", which is contradictory.
In fact, fear and greed are the nature of all mankind and are neutral, not psychological problems caused by transactions. Fear is an instinct to stay away from risk. Greed is the original impulse of creativity. On the premise of reason and wisdom, fear and greed are positive.
? What's wrong with greed? If you are greedy in the big trend market, you will earn a lot of money in a short time and get huge wealth. Just like a savage, you will gain hundreds of times in the cotton market, from millions to 2 billion, and Fu Haitang will earn 1 billion from hundreds of thousands. If you are not greedy, you will double or even 20% run away, so you miss such a big opportunity. What's wrong with greed? If you are not greedy, you will withdraw your order if you have a little profit. Can you make a good trend and make a good trend list? Can you make huge profits? Probably just a scratch in the big market.
? A person took a break in futures trading for a while. Last night, I talked to him about the reason why he failed. He summed up the problem of mentality: after making money, he wanted to make money, but refused to leave, then locked up his position and broke it. He attributed his failure to his own greed, which led to his only earning and not losing, but is this really the reason? If you are in a big market, greed won't kill you.
? Many people will curse another weakness of human nature, "fear". Does "fear" annoy you? What's wrong with it? Many people say, look at this deal, I was bullish and ready to go in, but I was afraid, afraid, afraid to chase more. "Fear" made me afraid to enter the order, and attributed the failure to fear. But in another environment, when the market fell sharply, you wanted to bargain-hunting, but fear made you afraid to bargain-hunting, and as a result, you escaped the explosion. What happened to fear? . Fear will greatly reduce your chances of entering the market and prevent you from trading in the day. Fear will make you more cautious. You are afraid of every transaction, and you will be careful about every transaction. What's wrong with that?
Greed and fear have existed since the birth of mankind, not because of trading. They are neutral words. Human nature has these two characteristics. Isn't it said that human beings are heinous and will bring about their own destruction? Is it not good for human beings to develop to this day? There is nothing wrong with people having these two qualities. ?
Therefore, it can be seen that there is nothing wrong with greed and fear, and the obvious trend market needs greed to make a good trend; Volatile and uncertain markets need fear to avoid losses. Therefore, the so-called greed and fear have both advantages and disadvantages, depending on the preconditions. Therefore, simply attributing the failure of trading to fear and greed is essentially a random attribution caused by your ignorance of the market and rules.
Therefore, we basically need to establish a clear rule. Under what circumstances, we need greed to make us "not open for three years, but open for three years"; Under what circumstances, under what circumstances, we need fear so that we can't give orders, we need to observe, and we need to wait. All this requires us to establish a measurable rule instead of denouncing greed and fear. They are innocent. Whether you admit it or not, greed and fear are innate neutral words.
