【Episode 109】How to Create Non-Discretionary Trading: Trade Only Based on Predetermined Criteria
How to Trade Without Discretion — Trade strictly by predetermined criteria.
“I want to create new rules” what matters is
not to overcomplicate environmental awarenessI believe.
If you try to absorb all market information, you naturally lean toward discretion.
That is why, after deciding in advance a simple rule such as“If this happens, I will judge this way”, it is important to put it into practice.
This, I think, is the essence of the so-called non-discretionary trading style.
※ Bleached from reviews received
When I was creating things like 【雲海 UNKAI】 or 【光明 KOMYO】, I based them on the same philosophy.
Rather than layering on many complex conditions, keep it as simple as possible and
thoroughly incorporate only the indicators that are easy for you to adopt as decision material.
The same goes for 【雲海 UNKAI】.
After receiving suggestions to “capture the trend,” I thought to share a free indicator online, so I looked around myself, butcould not find anything with the imagined specifications.
So I conducted my own validations, left only the truly necessary conditions, organized them, and finally published them as simple signals.
Looking back, the way of thinking when creating indicators is also the same as the essence of non-discretionary trading.
Rather than making things more complicated, simplify into a form that anyone can adopt. This has been my consistent stance.
I hope this mindset itself will be useful for future trade rule making and decision criteria.

Breakout strategy triggered by EA
Here is the Sky Interval Entry EA
Entry EA manual complete
“Sky Interval” delegates entries to an automated entry EA , and the trader focuses only on monitoring after entry and executing exit rules— a simple strategy.
The EA continuously monitors the chart and can enter precisely without missing the breakout moment.
This eliminates the stress of being glued to the screen before entry and the anxiety of missing the timing.
ADX, ATR, SMA, and other filters installed.
As a purchaser bonus, this EA is made available for use.

Take what you can when you can
The most reliable way to leave profits behind.
Support for profit-taking without overconfidence wiping it out
Why publish negative results?
In Investment Navigator+, we deliberatelydo not hide negative results.
The reason is that “trading cannot always be winning.”
Rather, by recording losses you can analyze “what situations cause losses” and make your logic more robust.
Instead of clinging to every win or loss,
over a span of 1 week or 1 month, achieving a total positive net is most important.
• “Today I won, so I’m happy”
• “Today I lost, so I’m anxious”
To eliminate these emotional waves, delegate entries to the EA,and have humans focus on executing exits according to the rules.
“I want to win” instead of “I want to earn” —this mindset is the fundamental prerequisite for long-term profit.
Stability gained by following the rules
The common trait of people who lose big in trading is the “desire to win”driving rule-breaking
For example, when you think “I want to stretch further” or “I want to see a little longer,” delaying the exit can wipe out profits in an instant.
Sky Interval is:
• Entrys fully automated by EA
• Exits under fixed, rule-based conditions
This reduces human intervention to a minimum and eliminates hesitation.
By mechanically following the rules, win-rate and risk-reward naturally stabilize.
⸻
There are countless technical analysis methods—moving averages, RSI, MACD, Stochastics, Parabolic SAR, ADX, ATR, CCI, trendlines and channels, Fibonacci retracement and extension, Ichimoku, volume, support/resistance lines, and more.
There is no single correct method; what matters is. By doing so you gain not just knowledge but a sense of confidence that translates to market applicability and an increasing expectancy
⸻
For Sky Interval, test the “maximum profit-taking” rules;
there are times when break-even exits become more frequent, but because you followed the rules you can calmly seize the next opportunity.
Even in moments when you think “I could have taken more,”
the fact that you closed at break-even according to the rules means you maintain a total plus in the end—that is the strength of this strategy.
What matters in trading is not “win rate but “reproducibility”
Many traders worry about “win rate,” but
a win rate of 50% can still grow capital if the risk-reward is good.
What matters is having a rule that yields the same results no matter who applies it, i.e., a reproducible rule.
Sky Interval is designed to
•EA entry → mechanical stop-loss → fixed take profits
Performing this sequence with zero emotions places a focus on making trading a business.
⸻
StrategY aimed at overall profitability
Daily win/loss tracking is dangerous.
Viewed over a week or month, you can allow some negative days as long as the total is positive.
EA has no emotions, making it ideal for long-term capital management.
Using a rule-based approach with the mindset of “achieve profits,” not merely “win,” tends to stabilize capital growth.
