Today,on the importance of taking a short break.
◆ The reason I lost 10 million yen
I will confess honestly.
In the past, I lost 10 million yen in trading.
And, worse, I even went into debt.
Why did I incur such a large loss?
The answer is simple.
Because I didn’t rest when I was on a losing streak.
◆ What was happening in the midst of the losing streak
When the losing streak began, this is what was in my head.
“I will win next time.”
“I want to recover it.”
“I can’t end like this.”
Logically, it’s clear my judgment was not normal at all.
However, at that time I didn’t realize.
I couldn’t notice that I was getting heated.
And the urgency to “recover” led to further losses.
Losses increased. The urge grew.
I traded again.
And I lost again.
I couldn’t break out of this hellish loop.
◆ Why losing streaks don’t stop
When a losing streak starts, three negative cycles occur simultaneously.
1. Judgment ability declines
During a losing streak, your brain isn’t calm. Emotions control your judgments, and you begin trades that disregard rules.
2. An unfounded conviction that “the next will win”
Somehow, the more you’re losing, the more you think “next time will be the win.” But there’s no basis for that conviction. It’s just a desire.
3. The objective shifts
The goal of trading shifts from “making profit” to “proving that your decision was correct.” This is the most dangerous state.
That is exactly the state I was in.
By the time I realized it, 10 million yen had disappeared.
◆ The true reason the losing streak doesn’t stop
There is always a reason when a losing streak continues.
Market conditions have changed
The conditions may no longer be favorable for the rules you use.
Are you continuing to use rules that work in trending markets in a range market?
Your mental state collapses and rule violations increase
Losing streaks cause you to break your original rules out of urgency.
Entries become earlier, or exits become hesitant.
When these two overlap, losses accelerate.
In my case, I was in this exact state.
I didn’t notice the market had changed, my mental state collapsed, and I repeatedly violated rules.
◆ The importance of a short break
If I could go back to that moment, I would tell my former self now:
“Stop trading immediately. Rest.”
Taking a break is not逃げ escape. It is a strategic retreat.
Professional traders know the right time to rest.
When they experience a losing streak, they don’t push through.
They step back, regain calm, and then return.
◆ Three benefits gained from a short break
1. You regain composure
By stepping back, emotions settle. A period without looking at charts saves you.
2. You notice changes in market conditions
Things you couldn’t see while in the heat of trading become clear when you pull back a step.
You might realize, “Oh, it’s become a range market,” and gain awareness.
3. You protect your funds
This is the most important. While resting, your funds do not decrease.
If I had rested after three consecutive losses, I could have avoided the 10 million yen loss and debt.
◆ How many consecutive losses should trigger a break?
So, specifically, after how many losses should you take a break?
From my experience, after three consecutive losses you must take a break.
Three losses are not a coincidence. They indicate something is wrong.
Break duration
At least 24 hours. If possible, take 2–3 days off.
“If I rest so long, I’ll miss opportunities, right?”
You might think so.
But don’t worry. The market tomorrow will come.
There are opportunities every day. There is no need to rush.
◆ What to do while resting?
Don’t just idle. Use this time effectively.
・ calmly review past trades
・ look for common reasons why you lost
・ check if market conditions have changed
・ verify you didn’t violate any rules
The most important thing is the courage not to look at charts.
If you decide to rest, distance yourself completely.
If you peek halfway, you’ll think, “Oh, there’s a entry opportunity,” and repeat the same mistakes.
◆ How to return after the break
After resting, do not immediately return to real trading.
Three-step recovery
1. Calmly analyze past trades
Find a clear reason why you had a losing streak.
2. Rehabilitate on a demo account
Don’t jump back to real trading. Do 2–3 trades on a demo to verify you can judge calmly.
3. Wait for a signal to return
When you look at the market, if you feel “I want to recover” rather than “I can calmly wait for opportunities,” you’re not ready yet.
If you still feel the urge to recover quickly, it isn’t the right time to return.
◆ A鉄則 to prevent reducing your funds
Here is the most important lesson learned from my 10 million yen loss.
・Don’t chase losses; first stop the bleeding
I understand the urge to recover funds.
However, that urgency creates further losses.
First stop the bleeding. Stopping losses is the top priority.
・Set a maximum daily loss
For example, decide that your maximum daily loss is 2% of your funds.
If you reach this amount, stop trading for that day.
No matter how tempting the opportunity, do not trade.
・Predefine a losing-streak rule
“If three losses, rest for 24 hours.”
Set this rule in advance and absolutely follow it.
A rule you cannot keep is not a rule.
Rules should be ones you can actually follow.
Losing streaks can happen to anyone. The issue is how you respond.
◆ Finally, a message for you.
Losing streaks can happen to anyone.
Even professional traders experience them.
There is no person with a 100% win rate in this world.
The problem is how you act when you’re on a losing streak.
I continued without rest and ended up losing 10 million yen and incurring debt.
I don’t want you to repeat the same mistake.
Taking a short break is not “escape” but “strategic retreat.”
The market does not run away.
Tomorrow, the day after, next week—the market will be there.
Staying calm and protecting your funds is the top priority.
If you lose, you rest.
Start this habit today.
To protect your funds.
