Topics
Steve Ruffley: 作为一名交易者，我发现过分关注自己不理解的事情并不能保证盈利。世界上和交易领域发生了很多变化，包括媒体呈现数据的方式。因此，我建议交易者不要盲目相信所有信息，而应该有选择地吸收，并认识到并非所有信息都能直接转化为利润。 Steve Ruffley: 我认为，零售交易者应该减少对新闻的关注，将更多精力放在观察市场屏幕上。市场本身会传递信息，交易者应该学会解读这些信号。不要盲目听从对冲基金经理的建议，因为他们的目标也是为了赚钱。交易是一个艰难的游戏，没有人会轻易透露自己的交易优势。 Steve Ruffley: 我建议对别人告诉你的信息保持警惕，不要期望能立即见效。真正影响市场的往往是意想不到的事件，而这些事件可能发生得太快，让你措手不及。因此，交易者应该专注于市场本身的动态，而不是被各种信息所迷惑。

Shownotes Transcript

Steve Ruffley transitioned from a highly competitive trading floor environment to trading professionally as a retail trader. His entrance into trading was unplanned - a mix of ambition, timing, and the right connections. After leaving university early, he took a finance job and then moved to Gibraltar, where he met traders running a new trading floor. Intrigued, he joined their intense graduate program, enduring six weeks of brutal tests where failure meant dismissal. The trading floor was an adrenaline-fueled world - rows of screens, high-stakes trades, and a culture of camaraderie and competition. This experience undoubtedly shaped his trading mindset, philosophy, and technique, where risk is not a dirty word, and size and speed are essential. Steve is also a trading mentor and the author of his latest book, “The Pro Retail Trader”.
