The trading system is the most important and brightest mirror in trading. You can use it to find out what is hidden behind your trading behavior. The experience you can face in the trading system is the best opportunity for self-awareness and self-perception. Now that you understand the principles, how should you operate in practice?
01 Reject external search and seek within
The biggest problem for many traders is that they cannot see their own problems. Although this kind of blindness is easy to understand - it is a problem because it is invisible. However, the problem also lies here. When losses occur, I always have the habit of pointing fingers at skills and others, but I forget to look at myself.
Why does my investment lose all my money again and again? Why does my trading double and then blow up? Why can't I control my position after each blow-up? Why didn't I execute according to the plan? Why can't I hold on to profits? Why do I carry a single position? Why do I always suffer and regret? The problem lies within yourself, and that is what you really need to care about.
When you start to realize that these problems lie within yourself, close your eyes and explore your inner self. Your pain and regret are not because of losing money. Unless you haven't executed according to the plan, no matter how the market fluctuates or how much external interference there is, you won't be affected. Doing a good job in trading should always focus on yourself. Wanting technology, analysis, or even the market to be responsible for you is equivalent to seeking externally, and you will only be led by the market.

02 It's not about changing, but accepting
The purpose of the trading system is to make your trading "more ideal" and "more perfect." However, the problem also lies here. When traders trade, they often get confused. They don't make the system more ideal, but try to make the market conform to their own ideals; they don't let themselves become more complete people, but expect the system to fill their own shortcomings.
A perfect set of rules: Make the trading system more and more complete!Try observing most traders around you, and you will find that they often pick on the faults of technology or systems, trying to find a more perfect technology through various paths, and even the future trend of the market is entirely in the control of technology. When they start trading, they will naturally think that the market should go in a certain way. However, the market has its own rules, it cannot hear your voice, and you cannot make the market conform to your ideal version. The result will only be unexpected losses...
There is no perfect system in the world. To do a good job in trading, first accept yourself, accept your trading system, accept its imperfections, cut losses when necessary, make money when possible, and gradually improve your system in trading to grow continuously.
03 It's not about being perfect, but being complete
Most people's minds are rational, and their hearts are emotional. If the mind and heart do not integrate their opposing energies, but instead try to change each other, they will be out of balance and split. When the mind is strong, it becomes more rational and likes to analyze; when the heart is strong, it is more emotional and more prone to "emotionalization." In this situation, energy will be consumed very seriously, and the trading will definitely not be done well.
A perfect set of rules: make the trading system more and more complete!
Data analysis shows that most of the losers who love to study technology and fundamental analysis think too much, consume energy, and even block the ability to perceive emotions. If they start to activate the power of the heart, use a rational mind to make a complete trading plan, and use the heart to perceive the voice brought by the fluctuations in the market, the mind assists the heart in trading, and the soul is more complete, rather than pursuing a perfect system, the result will be completely different.
04 Don't be emotional, but perceive emotions
Through the market, you can understand yourself. If the market does not give you a blow, you cannot know your own vulnerability; if the market does not disappoint you, you cannot know your insignificance; if there is no behavior that makes you regret, you cannot know that you need to introspect.Unfortunately, few traders make good use of the trading system as a mirror. When they see themselves in the trading system, they either turn away and ignore it or deny or change it. The reason is simple: because this mirror makes you lose money, so I will destroy the mirror, and then I won't lose money; because this mirror makes me lose money, I will give up on it, but is this approach effective? Of course not. No matter how many mirrors you break or how many system technologies you change, it cannot change your current situation. Only by perceiving and understanding yourself can you make a fundamental change.
