[Original]

Those who place bets on tiles are clever, those who place bets on hooks are afraid, and those who place bets on gold are afraid. Its clever is one, and if there is pride, it is heavy on the outside. Where the outside is heavy, the inside is clumsy. "Zhuangzi Dasheng"

[Explanation]

A person who participates in gambling, if he uses tiles as a bet, has no psychological burden. He will gamble easily and will always win if he wins or loses. If he uses silver hooks as a bet, he will be a little worried. If he uses gold as a bet, he will become anxious, nervous, worried about gains and losses, and unable to play to a normal level. Gamblers actually have the same skills before and after, but once he cherishes something and is subject to foreign objects, he will be overburdened psychologically, and his mind will become dull and clumsy, so even things that are already familiar will be messed up.

[Story]

According to Zhuangzi Dasheng, Yan Yuan asked Confucius: "I once crossed the abyss, and the boatman punted the boat like a god. I asked, 'Can the skills of punting be learned?'" Yes. Those who are good at swimming can learn it soon; if they can dive, they can operate the boat even if they have not seen it. 'I asked him again, and he didn't tell me anything else. What does this mean? "Confucius said:" Those who are good at swimming can learn it soon, because they have reached the point of forgetting the water; those who can dive, although they have never seen a boat, can operate it, because they see the abyss as a hill, and the collapse of the boat as the retreat of the cart. All kinds of phenomena such as the collapse and retreat present in front of his eyes can't disturb his mind. Where can he not be leisurely and free? " Those who place bets on tiles are clever, those who place bets on hooks are afraid, and those who place bets on gold are stupid. The clever is one, and if there is some arrogance, it is important to the outside, and those who are heavy on the outside are clumsy. "The heart of gain and loss of wealth forms a great spiritual burden, so that every inch is in chaos, and the monarch's officials are in chaos. Naturally, he cannot concentrate and be highly focused on something. If there is no mind to cover his original mind, it is easy to succeed if he does it naturally.

Hou Yi, who had shot down nine suns, was the best archer in the world. Once, the King of Xia asked him to shoot an arrow at a target with a square size, and the diameter of the hole in the middle of the target was one inch. After opening the target, he said to him, "Now I let you shoot this bullseye. If you hit it, you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold taels; if you don't hit it, you will be deprived of your thousand-mile fief." After Hou Yi heard this, his face turned red and white, and he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't even breathe steadily. He saw that his muscles were tense, and he opened his bow and fired it, but the first arrow missed, and the next arrow still missed. The King of Xia asked Miren: "Hou Yi usually pierces Yang with a hundred steps, but how can he agree on a reward and punishment condition for him, and he can't hit it?" Miren replied, "The reason why he failed to shoot was because he was worried about gains and losses. Your ten thousand gold reward and thousand-mile fief have become his spiritual burden. If people don't worry and put heavy rewards and punishments on the outside, everyone in the world can become an expert in shooting, how can they not even hit Hou Yi?"

He held the bow in his left hand and pulled the strings in his right hand. He pulled the bow full, put a glass of water on his elbow, and shot an arrow. The arrows met and hit the target. Just after the arrow was shot, another arrow was buckled on the bow string. At this time, Liezi was focused like a puppet. Bohunan said: 'This is just the archery skills when shooting arrows. Do you have the archery training when you are not shooting arrows? I want to climb the mountain with you, step on the dangerous mountain, and visit the abyss of Bairen. Can you still shoot then? "So Bohunan climbed the mountain, stepped on the dangerous mountain, and came to the abyss of Bairen, backed up the abyss, and two-thirds of his feet were suspended in the air. At this time, he invited Liezi to come to the edge of the cliff. Liezi was so frightened that he lay on the ground, cold sweat running down his heels. No one in Bohun said: "As a person, look at the blue sky, measure the yellow spring below, indulge in all directions, and look normal. Now you are so scared, your expression is abnormal, it will be difficult for you to shoot." Liezi could not regard the mountains and the abyss as flat ground, and could not ignore his body and life and death. When he climbed the mountains, stepped on dangerous stones, and faced the abyss on his back, the heart of gain and loss obscured the spirit of his heart, and he was in a mess, unable to concentrate and shoot arrows like when he was on flat ground, so that the bow could be stretched, the arrow could be fired, and the arrow could be connected, but the elbow could not move smoothly. No one regards heaven and earth as one, regards the mountains as plains, regards the body as soil, and regards life as clouds, so there is no matter of life and death, and there is no fear of life and death.

The sages had seen it clearly and made it clear two thousand years ago. It is difficult to make money in foreign exchange trading, and it is even more difficult to make money in full-time trading. In this speculative activity, the bigger the bet (heavy position), the heavier the risk of gain and loss, and the heavier the risk of gain and loss, the harder it is to win. This is a universal law of human nature. Those who think they can overcome human nature and oppose human nature tend to overestimate themselves. Understanding human nature and adapting to human nature to achieve goals requires humility and wisdom.

In daily life, those traders who can maintain profitability for many years are basically people whose quality of life will not be affected by short-term performance. Those who have low daily income and no other source of income hope to make a living through full-time foreign exchange trading are basically unable to make long-term profits. In the case of life insecurity, full-time trading is to be "gold betting", and it is natural to be more "" than others. Such a big disadvantage is difficult to make up for by adjusting the mentality and improving the technology.
