Dear brothers and sisters in the futures circle! Today, let’s talk about some heart-breaking truth. Do you always feel that those who make a fortune in the futures market are all geniuses who God can give? They are born with a pair of "fire eyes" that can see through the market. Any move can hit the daily limit? Let me tell you the truth, stop dreaming! There are no geniuses in the futures industry, there are only those warriors who are willing to fight to the end!

Let me tell you a true story about me first. There is a brother, Xiao Li, who didn't know anything when he first entered the futures market and even felt dizzy when he saw the K-line chart. In the first transaction, he heard others say that a certain variety would rise, and when his mind was hot, he invested all the 50,000 yuan he had saved for a long time. What's the result? The market has made a 180-degree turn and prices plummeted. Xiao Li looked at the numbers in his account falling down like a roller coaster, and was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and in the end he lost less than 20,000 yuan.

If it were someone else, he might have been disheartened and vowed not to touch futures again. But Xiao Li doesn't! He felt a little nervous and decided to himself: "I don't believe it, I can't handle this thing!" Since then, he has started the "self-abuse" learning mode. Every morning when he gets up at 6 o'clock, the first thing he does is to turn on the computer to watch the foreign market; at night, others are watching TV shows and playing games, but he holds a thick futures book and chews until one or two o'clock in the morning. When he encountered a concept he didn't understand, he would rush to search for information online, join various futures exchange groups to ask the bosses, and even go to the futures company to pester the analyst to ask questions.

In order to improve the level of trading, Xiao Li also did a "ruthless thing" - he recorded every transaction in detail, including the trading time, variety, price, thoughts at that time, and the final profit and loss situation. When he was reviewing the market at night, he was like a "detective", analyzing his mistakes in his transaction bit by bit. Sometimes, in order to figure out why he didn't stop loss when it was time to stop loss, he could stare at a K-line chart for several hours, scolding himself to the point of being bloody.

After fighting like this for more than half a year, Xiao Li's transactions gradually improved. He no longer blindly followed the trend like before, but learned to analyze the market and formulate trading plans by himself. Once, the market conditions were particularly complicated, and many people were chasing the rise and sell the fall, and they lost a lot. But through his own analysis, Xiao Li found that a certain variety seemed to have fallen, but in fact it had reached the support level, so he decided to buy it. As a result, the market really reversed and he made more than 30,000 yuan in one go. Now Xiao Li has become a well-known trading veteran in the circle, and his account funds have increased several times. But those who are familiar with him know that behind this is the result of his struggle with himself.

In fact, Xiao Li’s experience is too common in the futures circle. Behind those trading masters who are extremely glorious on the surface, there is a bitter history of fighting with them. They are not much smarter than others, but they are more persistent than others and are more willing to work hard.

Why do we say that there are no geniuses in futures trading, only warriors who fight to the death? First of all, the complexity of the futures market is beyond imagination. This involves macroeconomics, industry trends, policy changes, international situations, and even weather changes can affect the market. Do you think you can make money easily by looking at the K-line chart and learning technical indicators? Too naive! Take crude oil futures for example. A sudden geopolitical conflict or the output adjustment of a major oil-producing country can make prices soar like rockets. It is impossible to gain a foothold in such a complex market without spending a lot of time and energy on research and exploration.

Secondly, futures trading specifically tests human nature. Greed, fear, and hesitation, these human weaknesses will be infinitely amplified in the futures market. Just like Xiao Li mentioned earlier, at the beginning, he entered the market blindly because of greed because of others saying they could make money; later because of fear, he did not dare to stop loss when it was time to stop loss. And those trading experts do not have these weaknesses, but have slowly overcome these human flaws by constantly fighting with themselves. They force themselves to strictly implement the trading plan. Even if they are afraid, they will cut their losses without hesitation when they reach the stop loss level; even if the market rises wildly, as long as they achieve the stop profit target, they will decisively put their pockets.

Also, futures trading requires continuous learning and adaptation. The market has been changing, and today's effective trading strategies may not work tomorrow. If you lie down on past experiences, you will be eliminated by the market soon. Those trading experts always maintain their enthusiasm for learning, paying attention to new information and researching new trading methods every day. They are like playing games to upgrade, constantly setting new goals for themselves and challenging higher difficulties.

So, how should we fight to the death with ourselves in futures trading? First, you must have a strong desire to learn. Don’t treat futures trading as buying lottery tickets, buy a bet and wait for the prize. You have to treat it as a major and systematically learn basic knowledge. From fundamental analysis to the application of technical indicators, you cannot miss every link. There are many free learning resources online now, various futures forums and video courses. As long as you are willing to learn, you will not have to worry about nowhere.

Second, learn to review. Recalling is like doing a "physical examination" for your own transactions, taking out every transaction and analyzing it carefully. When you make money, you must figure out whether you are lucky or really analyze the market correctly; when you lose money, you must also find out where the problem lies. Is there a loophole in the transaction plan, or is it not executed properly? Only by constantly summarizing the experience and lessons can you avoid falling twice in the same place.

Third, strictly implement the transaction plan. Many people have this problem. The transaction plan is done well, but when it comes to actual operation, it is all left behind. Remember, the trading plan is your "battle map". No matter how the market changes, as long as there are no unplanned situations, it must be strictly implemented in accordance with the plan. Don’t hesitate when it’s time to stop loss, don’t be greedy when it’s time to stop profit. Only in this way can you live long in the futures market.

Fourth, maintain a good attitude. To fight to the death is not about being stubborn or holding on with the market. In the futures market, we will inevitably encounter losses, so don’t give up on ourselves at this time. Learn to accept failure and treat every loss as the price of growth. At the same time, don’t be complacent just because of temporary profits. Only by maintaining a normal mind can you go further.

There are no shortcuts on the road to futures trading, nor are there natural geniuses. Those who laughed to the end in the market all rely on fighting with themselves and gradually moving from failure to success. Maybe you are still losing money and still confused, but as long as you are determined and fight to the end with yourself, I believe that one day, you will become a warrior in the futures market and reap your own success! Stop envying others' glory. From now on, be "ruthless" to yourself. If you fight to the end, we will see the truth in the futures market!
