In the grand stage of the financial market, a problem that is often overlooked yet has far-reaching effects quietly exists – that is the greed within the hearts of traders. Although skills such as market analysis and technical analysis are widely taught, how to master the inner desire for greed is rarely mentioned. This knowledge gap often causes traders to encounter repeated setbacks in their careers, forcing them to gradually understand how to coexist with greed through repeated failures.

Greed is dangerous in trading primarily because the way people pursue the satisfaction of their desires is often disconnected from reality. This disconnection manifests as a mismatch between personal desires and actual capabilities. For example, when a trader expects to profit from a certain strategy, but the market trend goes against their expectations, this misalignment can trigger greedy thoughts, leading to significant risks.

There is a real case that illustrates this point well. A senior executive of a certain company used subjective judgment combined with a grid trading strategy to guide subordinates in trading. This approach may work in a volatile market, but it can lead to serious losses in a one-sided downward market. During a market crash, this executive not only used his own funds but also called upon the company's entire margin for margin calls. The final result was disastrous: the company's accounts were completely wiped out, the company was forced to dissolve, and the executive personally fell into bankruptcy. This case vividly demonstrates the tragedy that can occur when personal desires (hoping to profit through a specific strategy) are severely inconsistent with market reality (a continuous downward trend), leading to greed.

The misunderstanding of trading methods by traders is also a manifestation of greedy psychology. For example, the grid trading strategy is inherently difficult to cope with strong trending markets, yet many traders expect it to perform well in various market conditions. This unrealistic expectation is precisely a product of greedy thinking.

To overcome greed in trading, the key lies in correctly recognizing one's own capability boundaries and aligning them with the actual market conditions. Only by finding a balance between desire and ability, strategy and market environment can one safely navigate the vast ocean of the financial market. This requires traders to continuously learn, reflect, and adjust, cultivating a rational and disciplined trading mindset.
