What does "Mastering RCI to Win" mean?
|
| Last time, you spoke about the theory and depth of RCI analysis, but this time please give an overview of Blacksun's signature work,“Mastering RCI to Win!”again, could you provide an overview? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
| Blacksun |
|
Yes. This content is a three-part structure of "Methods + Case Studies + Indicators," with a total of more than 1,950 PDF pages.
It's not just a theory book; it's content that lets you understand how to use RCI in practical, real-world trading. |
|
| Indeed,“Academic paper-level”in volume. Who would you especially like to read it? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
For those who already use RCI, of course, and for anyone who wants to learn technical analysis in a systematic wayit's recommended.
Not just RCI alone,but a focus on using it in conjunction with moving averages and other methods. |
|
| Could you give us a rough idea of what kind of chart analysis you actually perform? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Blacksun |
|
As an example, we illustrate a method using the USD/JPY chart in mid-May 2025, drilling down from the monthly chart to the 1-minute chart step by step, identifying entry points while watching the movement of RCI.
The analysis here will cover only a subset of timeframes. |
|
| So, how do we actually advance environment recognition from the higher timeframes? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Blacksun |
|
Firstlythe three RCI lines on the monthly chartto look at.
On the monthly chart, the three RCI lines align in a strongly bearish setup.
There may be a setup where looking for a pullback sell on lower timeframes is not unreasonable. (Image below: Monthly) |
|
| So you look at the overall flow on the higher timeframes, right? What signs do you focus on on the weekly chart? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| On the weekly chart,a long-upper-wick pin barand other signs suggesting a reversal are what we focus on. We enter the stage of looking for selling opportunities on lower timeframes.(Image below: Weekly) |
|
| “下げ方向”の前提を作った上で、下位足に移るという流れですね。 |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
That's right. If the environment recognition is ambiguous, there is no consistency regardless of which timeframe you trade on.
Grasping the direction on the higher timeframes firmly is the first step toward accurate analysis. |
|
|
Examples of trades waiting for a signal
|
| After confirming the direction on the weekly chart, which time frame do you look at next? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
Since the weekly chart has risen to near the necklines, we skip the daily chart and move to the 1-hour chart.
If the weekly chart shows signs of reversal, on the 1-hour chart we check for the double top and neck-line battles.
If the three RCI lines are in a weak configuration, we wait for a sell signal to light up.
(Image below: 1-hour chart) |
|
| Do you enter as soon as the signal appears? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Blacksun |
|
No. Even if a signal lights up, we do not enter right away; we confirm that multiple timeframes are in concordance.
For example, if on the 4-hour chart only the short-term RCI rises and a pullback sell signal appears, we carefully evaluate the timing. |
|
| I see,“Waiting”is crucial. Take your time and verify carefully. |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
That's right. Even if a signal lights up, if the higher time frame is in the opposite direction, there is no entry.Wait until a "winning setup" occurs.
I think this is the most important thing in trading. |
|
| Indeed, a very methodical and theoretical trader’s demeanor. |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
Improve entry accuracy with multiple confirmations
|
| What kind of ideas or techniques do you use to further enhance accuracy from here? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Blacksun |
|
|
| So you evaluate them together to make decisions, right? How do you use tools? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Blacksun |
|
We use signal-type indicators such as mBDSR to verify whether signals appear when multiple confirmations line up.
When both RCI and the signal align, the reliability of the entry increases dramatically. |
|
| So you observe the flow from higher timeframes to lower timeframes to gather the basis for your hypotheses. |

A mindset that enjoys research leads to improvement
|
| Finally, please share a message for those who trade FX daily. |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Blacksun |
|
I trade with enjoyment myself.
That is why there are new discoveries in the time spent observing charts and testing. |
|
| The phrase "enjoying it" is striking. Does your experience in research work contribute to this? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Yes. You accumulate data, form hypotheses, and test them. This is the same in science and in markets. If you take FX seriously, you can improve logically. |
|
| “Mastering RCI to Win!” is also the culmination of such exploration, right? |
|
|
|
| GogoJungle Hayakawa |
|
|
|
Yes.
When you purchase my content, I hope you approach it with passion and curiosity, enjoying the process.
I would be happy if those interested in RCI could build their own discoveries. |
|
| Thank you. A mindset of enjoying the pursuit of trading — that's the key to long-term consistency. |
