BPA 交易室问答：2015年4月8日
A lot of times that I’m in a trade at the end of a five-minute bar, especially at a pivotal moment, I find myself rooting and hoping for a great close for my side. Do you ever do that? Or if you overcame that for the most part, how did you do it? Audio duration: 6min 30sec — Scroll down for images
我经常在5分钟K线的尾声阶段持仓，尤其是在关键时刻，我会为自己持仓的一方祈祷，希望收盘结果理想。你有过这样的情况吗？或者，如果你已经基本克服了这种情况，你是如何做到的？音频时长：6分30秒——向下滚动查看图片

Hoping the trade goes your way
希望交易能朝着你预期的方向发展
I used to have a lot of hope. I used to take trades and constantly hope that the bar was going to go my way, hope for another bar to go my way. And then I used to worry – the fear and greed thing. The reality is fear and greed is something that’s in the movies, not in the real world. Most professional traders do not think about fear and greed. If you watch Fast Money , you’ll hear them talk about fear and greed, but look at them and listen to what they’re saying. Do any of those traders look scared? Do any of those traders look like they’re really hopeful or greedy? No. It’s a job, and that’s not how you do your job.
我过去充满希望，每次交易时都不断希望K线会朝着我预期的方向走，希望下一根K线也朝着我预期的方向走。然后我开始担心——恐惧和贪婪的问题。实际上，恐惧和贪婪只存在于电影中，而不在现实世界中。大多数专业交易者不会考虑恐惧和贪婪。如果你看《Fast Money》，你会听到他们谈论恐惧和贪婪，但看看他们，听听他们在说什么。这些交易者中有人看起来害怕吗？有人看起来真的充满希望或贪婪吗？没有。这是一份工作，这不是你做工作的的方式。
You do your job by finding a comfort zone , and when you’re in your comfort zone, you don’t have a lot of emotion; you don’t have a lot of fear; you don’t have a lot of greed; you don’t have a lot of anything. And anytime you have a feeling, you think back to the last time you had the feeling, and you think about what you did and what the market did. And so I use feelings as radar, and the two feelings that come up most for me are confusion and disappointment. Instead of saying, “Oh, gosh, I’m confused and I’m disappointed,” I say, “Oh, I’m confused and disappointed, therefore it’s a trading range — I’m going to look to buy low, sell high, and scalp.”
你的工作就是找到一个舒适区，当你处于舒适区时，你不会有太多情绪；你不会有太多恐惧；你不会有太多贪婪；你不会有太多任何东西。每当你有某种感觉时，你会回想起上次有这种感觉时的情况，并思考你做了什么，市场做了什么。因此，我把感觉当作雷达，我最常遇到的两种感觉是困惑和失望。我不会说“哦，天哪，我很困惑，我很失望”，而是说“哦，我很困惑，很失望，所以这是一个交易区间——我要寻找低买高卖和短线机会。”
Use your feelings to make money
利用你的感觉来赚钱
So when I have feelings now — and usually the feelings are not much of anything — I try to use them to make money. And the two common feelings are fear and greed. I used to feel desperate years ago — who knows, pick a number, 15 years ago, 25 years ago. A lot of times when I was in trades, especially if I lost two or three bars (trades) in a row two or three times in a row, but not anymore. There are a lot of funny things that happen throughout life that I never could have imagined were possible. One is trading a five-minute chart. 25 years ago, 20 years ago, a lot of times I would trade a one-minute chart, a two-minute chart, a three-minute chart, and I used to think that the five-minute chart just moves too slow and it’s just too boring to sit there, and I just felt kinda scared and anxious. “My gosh, it’s just happening too slowly and I can—my mind is racing, my mind—my mind is just going really, really fast and the chart is just moving too slowly.”
所以现在当我有感觉时——通常这些感觉没什么特别——我会尝试利用它们来赚钱。常见的两种感觉是恐惧和贪婪。我以前常感到绝望——谁知道呢，选个数字吧，15年前，25年前。很多时候当我在交易时，尤其是连续两三次亏损两三个K线（交易）时，我会感到绝望，但现在不会了。生活中发生了很多有趣的事情，我以前从没想过这些是可能的。其中之一就是交易5分钟图表。25年前，20年前，我经常交易1分钟图表、2分钟图表、3分钟图表，我以前认为5分钟图表移动得太慢，坐在那里太无聊，我感到有点害怕和焦虑。「天哪，这发生得太慢了，我——我的思维在飞速运转，而图表移动得太慢了。」
Over time, what changed for me was I started to notice that there was an incredible amount of information on that five-minute chart. So yes, each bar takes five minutes to complete, but as it’s forming I see stuff that’s happening. And for me, it’s fascinating to see what’s happening. Little things happen all day long, and I understand what’s going on – or at least I believe what’s going on, like the bulls taking control over a bar, the bears taking control. A bull bar and a bull trend not looking the way it should look; bar 7, it should not go above 6; the big tail on 2. There are all kinds of things. The L1 Low 1 short 18. All day long — yes, the five minute bar is forming slowly, but I keep getting engrossed in every little bar. Every little bar – it’s suspense. “I think I know what it’s gonna do,” and I’m just eager to see what takes place.
随着时间的推移，我发生改变的原因是，我开始注意到5分钟图表上有大量信息。是的，每个K线需要5分钟才能完成，但在它形成的过程中，我能看到正在发生的事情。对我来说，观察这些发生的事情非常有趣。每天都有小事情发生，我能理解正在发生的事情——或者至少我相信正在发生的事情，比如多头控制了一根K线，空头控制了另一根K线。一根阳线和多头趋势看起来不像应该的样子；7号K线不应该超过6；2号K线有个大下影线。有各种各样的事情。L1低点1短线18。整天——是的，5分钟K线形成得很慢，但我不断被每一根小K线吸引。每一根小K线——它充满悬念。「我认为我知道它会怎么做」，我迫不及待地想看看会发生什么。
So somewhere along my career, I just started to realize how much information is on this screen, and there is an incredible amount of information on the screen. There is an amazing number of things happening constantly on every bar, and it’s all — it’s like a quilt; one bar’s where it’s past three bars, the past 10 bars, 20 bars. There’s just so much going on that I enjoy looking at it and trying to understand it. And so instead of feeling scared or panicked that I was boxed in or claustrophobic by being trapped in a market that was too slow for me, now I look at it and there’s just so much information. It’s just incredible. I just love looking at it and thinking about it.
所以在我的职业生涯中某个时刻，我开始意识到屏幕上有多少信息，屏幕上的信息量是惊人的。每一根K线上不断发生着大量令人惊奇的事情，这就像是拼布一样；一根K线代表着过去三根K线、过去10根K线、20根K线的情况。发生的事情实在太多了，我喜欢观察它并尝试理解它。因此，我不再因为被困在对我来说太慢的市场中而感到害怕或恐慌，不再感到被束缚或幽闭恐惧，现在我看着它，发现有如此多的信息。这真是令人难以置信。我喜欢观察它并思考它。
If you take the trade, that’s where your stop goes
如果你进行交易，那就是你的止损位置所在。
I’m constantly telling myself — every time I take a trade, I’m constantly telling myself, “Al, if you take this trade, that’s where your stop goes. If you’re not willing to use that stop, don’t take the trade, right?” And a lot of times it seems stupid — the stop was too far away — but if I’m taking a trade, that’s the stop I have to use, otherwise the trade does not make sense. So if I’m selling — even if I’m selling all the way down here (bars 20-22), my stop at a minimum has to go up here (above B12). And the bears who did put their stop one tick above 12, no matter where they shorted, they could have gotten out, break even at worst, and with a profit if they were comfortable scaling in higher.
我不断地告诉自己——每次交易时，我都不断地告诉自己：“Al，如果你做这笔交易，止损就应该设在这里。如果你不愿意使用这个止损，就不要做这笔交易，对吧？”很多时候这看起来很愚蠢——止损离得太远了——但如果我要做这笔交易，这就是我必须使用的止损，否则这笔交易就没有意义。所以，如果我在卖出——即使我在卖出到这里（12-22号K线）的低点，我的止损至少也要设到这里（B12上方）。那些将止损设在12上方一跳的空头，无论他们在哪里做空，都能出局，最坏的情况是保本，如果他们愿意在更高位置加仓，甚至能盈利。
I’m not being specific addressing the question, but there’s a transition that takes place. The single biggest transition I think in my trading career was realizing just how much information is on the five-minute chart. And as I began to pay attention to what is going on, I started to get very peaceful all the time because I felt like I understood what the market is doing every tick of the day. Now, I never get upset, I never get worried; I just look at it and accept it and try to understand what’s going on. I see the battles going on between the bulls and the bears. I’m always looking for ways to make money with those battles, and take as many trades as I can. But I don’t get really hopeful with a trade. If I win, I win; if I lose, who cares, right? There’s always gonna be another trade, there’s always gonna be 10 more trades that day, so I just don’t get emotionally attached.
我没有具体回答这个问题，但有一个转变发生了。我认为，在我的交易生涯中，最大的转变就是意识到5分钟图上包含了多少信息。当我开始关注市场的动态时，我开始时刻感到非常平静，因为我觉得我理解了市场每天的每一跳在做什么。现在，我从不生气，从不担心；我只是看着它，接受它，并试图理解发生了什么。我看到了多头和空头之间的战斗。我一直在寻找从这些战斗中赚钱的方法，并尽可能多地进行交易。但我对交易并不抱有太大希望。如果我赢了，我就赢了；如果我输了，谁在乎呢，对吧？总会有另一笔交易，那天总会有10笔更多的交易，所以我不会在情感上牵挂。
Doing the right thing
做正确的事
To me, it’s just a question of do the right thing . Whatever I’m doing, does it make sense? And if I do something and I’ve decided that my plan really does not make sense, I get out. I don’t pretend that, “Oh, I just realized my plan is bad, therefore I’m gonna hope that it turns out okay.” No; if I decide that my plan is bad, I’m getting out, even if I have to lose two or three ticks, even if I have to lose a point or two, doesn’t matter. If what I’m doing is wrong, I got to get out. I don’t try to get cute and say, “Oh, my gosh, if I get out of here, I lose five ticks. Maybe I should try holding a little longer, maybe I can lose two ticks.” No; if I’m wrong, I get out, and then I start over again. For me, that’s the best process.
对我来说，这只是做正确事情的问题。无论我在做什么，它是否有意义？如果我做了某件事，并决定我的计划确实没有意义，我就会退出。我不会假装说：“哦，我刚刚意识到我的计划很糟糕，所以我希望结果会好起来。”不，如果我决定我的计划很糟糕，我就会退出，即使我必须损失两三个点，即使我必须损失一两点，也没关系。如果我做的事情是错误的，我必须退出。我不会试图装可爱，说：“哦，天哪，如果我从这里退出，我会损失五个点。也许我应该再坚持一段时间，也许我可以只损失两个点。”不，如果我错了，我就退出，然后重新开始。对我来说，这是最好的方法。
Back to the question about taking a trade. You have to decide what you premise is – a swing or scalp – your goal (swing or scalp). You have to decide where the stop belongs. And as long as the market is behaving in a way that is consistent with your premise, you just stick with your plan.
回到关于入场交易的问题上。你必须决定你的前提是什么——波段交易还是短线交易——你的目标（波段或短线）。你必须决定止损应该放在哪里。只要市场的行为与你的前提一致，你就坚持你的计划。
