The true face of the 2-billion-yen trader and his business history

Nice to meet you! Please start by telling us about your background! |
|

Nice to meet you. From a young age, I entered the management of a construction company; at its peak it employed about 300 people, with annual sales of around 3 billion yen.
|
|
| 300 people is quite a large scale! |
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
| I see. The company was handed down to your son around 2005, right? |

|
|
| Did management experience influence your trading as well? |
|
|
|
|
| shuzo |
|
Yes. I was running as many as five companies at one point.
The reason I never went bankrupt was"Never give up, even in the depths", I think. I believe this applies to both business and investing. |
|
|
Lessons learned from setbacks in the futures era
|
| You started investing from futures, right? How did it go? |
|
|
|
|
| shuzo |
|
|
| When a door-to-door salesperson came and, pointing at the president, said "Would you like to increase your funds on hand?" it felt like that, right? |
|
|
|
|
| shuzo |
|
|
|
|

|
Soon, margin calls! It felt like margin calls and I got desperate, but I didn't want to give up; I wasted quite a bit of capital.
…Investing left to others won't work, I realized. |
|
80 million yen is quite large, isn't it?
You value the mindset of not giving up, but when did you quit futures? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| shuzo |
|
|
Then, after that, the investment route shifted from futures to FX, right? |
|
|
|
FX dawn-era environment and three years of hardship
|
| Back then, the FX market environment was quite different from now, wasn't it? |
|
|
|
|
| shuzo |
|
Totally different. The USD/JPY spread was about 25 pips.
Also, orders and settlements were done by phone each time, and fees were charged each time. |
|
FX in its formative yearswas different from today in market and mechanics.
What were your results when you started? |
|
|

|
| On the first day I earned about 300,000 yen in an instant, but after thatI lost 10,000,000 yen per year for three consecutive years。 |
|
|
|
| shuzo |
|
Nevertheless, I didn't give up, and from some point I realizedlet profits run, but cut the losing parts earlyand I finally realized this.
Then, at least, I reached a state whereI wasn't losing money. |

These are online contents. I bought hundreds of expensive tools like arrow-based signals and EAs, and studied their logic.
But ultimately, regarding which arrow to trust among signal tools,. |
|
|
Turning point: small losses, large profits and trailing stops
|
| What was the trigger that pushed you from the 'not losing' state to further wins? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| shuzo |
|
|
Rigorous stop-loss + moving stop to break-even + trailing. Designed to leave profits on the table while allowing gains to run in trending markets. |

Volunteer work, FX re-entry, and current activities

Then, after a while I returned home and thought I’d try FX again, but my senses were completely dulled…
So I bought a few contents from GogoJungleCandlestick Study and redid it, then. |
|
| Recalling the feel from when you were earning a lot with FX led you to your current activity as a GoGoJungle seller? |
