In trading and investing, maintaining financial security and mental health is the key to long-term success.
In trading and investing, maintaining financial security and mental health is the key to long-term success. Here is a brief analysis of these principles:
---
1. Only use disposable income, do not trade on margin.
Reason: Margin trading amplifies risks. Once the market fluctuates, losses may be unbearable, even affecting personal or family finances.
Consequence: Losses not only bring economic pressure, but may also lead to psychological panic, resulting in incorrect trading decisions.
Principle:
Only invest "spare cash", even if all losses will not affect the quality of life.
Avoid using leverage or borrowed funds, especially in high uncertainty market environments.
---
2. Do not let trading interfere with daily life
Issue: Many traders are overly obsessed with market fluctuations, frequently checking their accounts, affecting work, family, and personal time.
Impact:
Decreased work efficiency, impacting sources of income.
Strained family relationships, life imbalance.
Recommendation:
Develop a trading plan, set entry, take profit, stop-loss points, and reduce meaningless screen time.
Set a fixed trading time to prevent trading from taking up all free time.
---
If you cannot sleep well and it affects your health, temporarily exiting the market without any positions.
Issue: Market fluctuations can easily trigger anxiety, especially when losses increase or trends are unclear, leading to insufficient sleep and excessive mental stress.
The Importance of Health: Physical and mental health are essential in trading and investment.
