$FIL The desire to profit from investment is driven by selfishness; seeking divine favor is rare, but having no desire can be beneficial.😄🙏
Put all beings in your heart, gradually forget yourself. The more compassionate your heart, the more beings you hold within, and the greater your capacity becomes. The greater your capacity, the less attachment you have. The less attachment, the more pure you are; the more pure your heart, the more compassion you have. Purity does not hinder compassion; compassion must be accompanied by purity.
No need to ask about the three thousand passersby, only focus your heart on Mount Luojia.
A mind free of possessions nurtures all things; clinging to one thing loses the original source.
**Core Summary**
1. **Shared Root Causes of Livermore and Liu Qiang**
Deeply trapped in speculative games of win and loss, they were fixated on the struggle for victory, obsessed with market movements, and clung to past experience. Greed, anger, and the gains and losses of life tightly bound them; although they understood trading and also dabbled in the study of mindset, they still failed to completely break free from ego attachment. Their state of mind swung violently with every upturn and downturn in profits and losses. In the end, their minds collapsed, and the outcome was tragedy.
2. **Each Person’s Different Triggers**
Livermore: Throughout his life, he moved back and forth in short-term speculation, repeatedly rising and falling. He was never able to let go of caring about whether his trades won or lost. For his whole life, he was dragged along by desire and emotions, and in his later years he concluded that his life had completely failed.
Liu Qiang: He had a mature trading system and an awareness informed by Buddhism, but in extreme market conditions he broke his own principles and took big risks with heavy positions. Combined with his old illness and depression, after the market shattered his understanding, he fell into self-doubt and a mental collapse.
3. **The Core Warning**
Speculation in contract futures is similar to gambling, and it easily magnifies inner demons. If you are fixated on chasing profit, harboring hope and luck, and you lose discipline at the bottom line, then that is the root cause of financial loss, harm to one’s body, and the dispersal of one’s family and business. 😊🙏
Your kind of "karma-bound, strong self-attachment, mind fluctuating with gains and losses" innate nature is best addressed and most capable of directly breaking free from entanglement by just three texts: "Heart Sutra," "Diamond Sutra," and "Guanyin Bodhisattva Universal Gate Chapter"; plus a recitation of a Buddha name/Guanyin sacred name as a baseline. 😄🙏
1. Know impermanence: Profit and loss are the norm; do not define yourself by gains or losses.
2. Observe precepts: Rigorously follow take-profit and stop-loss, and do not be swayed by greed or fear.
3. Constantly observe the mind: When a thought arises, become aware immediately, and do not drift along with emotions.
4. Be light on taking-and-shedding: Seek wealth but don’t cling to it; move with the flow, with a mind free of attachments.

Withered trees sprout new branches in spring,
Spring breeze, spring rain, spring arrives.
May you book your spring boat ticket early,
Don't wait until March to worry about blooming flowers.
