Put yourself in the place of the teacher!!
When I’m daily teaching FX and developing EAs and handing those EAs over,
there are things I think about.
This person will absolutely not improve in trading!
There are people who are certain of it (lol).
There are people whose questions are completely absent.
The more unsuitable someone’s questions are, the more severe the condition. Questioning ability is the barometer.
And with the first set of questions they receive,
I categorize them as severe, moderate, or mild.
For those with mild or moderate questions, I teach them gently.
For severe cases, I respond with a fairly strong message, because the way they ask questions is poor,
and I urge them to think more.
Then, for most of the people who are not improving (the severe ones),
they get angry and say, “What’s wrong with asking if I don’t understand?”They retort in anger.
Be on the side of the person who asks questions!! (lol)
Yes, game over.
We label them as people who can never win, and
we gradually fade out from them. What a pity.
When you say that publicly, about half the people say, “You’re the worst,”
“That person shouldn’t coach others,”
or they question your humanity.
About half of them understand—“I get it.”
If you’re reading this now, which person are you? (lol)
Material drifters often say, “Be on the side of the person who asks questions!!”
※ Over here and there on the internet, there are PDFs and indicators and EAs with mysterious origins,
buyers sighing over them, causing endless attempts to buy,
and still never winning, simply repeating the pattern.

That explanation was long, wasn’t it? (lol)
Be on the side of the person who asks questions!!
— meaning the person who bought your stuff or plans to depend on you.
Be on the side of the person who asks questions!!
I think this is a very dangerous idea.
What does “Be on the side of the person who asks questions” mean?
They say, “I bought it and you’re teaching me, yet I’m being told to figure it out myself.”
The teacher and the learner must be in a WIN-WIN relationship.
From our side, never should it be,
that we’re teaching someone who bought from us and relies on us.
I don’t want to teach them.
I don’t want them to buy, I don’t want to introduce them.
The act of asking questions should be reserved for those who have truly studied, thought, wrestled, and researched,
and if they still don’t understand, that is a privilege and allowance, in my view.
Think back to your student days, right?
Did you ask teachers or lecturers questions so easily?
You would think, worry, and research to find the answer,
and only when you still couldn’t solve it, you asked. That’s how I was.
Feeling, “I’m teaching you, so why aren’t you learning?”
Shouldn’t have been the impression I carried while learning daily.
I’ve seen friends told to develop a habit of thinking more on their own,
because they’d been probing a teacher with questions without thinking.
The lessons learned that way have never been forgotten.
Many aspiring traders who want to trade FX buy indicators, EAs, or PDFs,
it seems their motivation is very lacking.
Why do I think so?
Because that was me in the past (lol).
I’d think, “This indicator is bad! This EA is the worst! This PDF has no reproducibility,”
and I chased after the vendor’s words rather than asking questions, just nitpicking.
In that long period, there was no progress in trading at all.
But, at that time, it’s not surprising,
there weren’t decent things in the market!
Many things were created for money-making or sales purposes, and
some explanations were almost intentionally difficult to understand.
(※But I also sometimes make explanations deliberately difficult (laugh)
It isn’t malice; I want you to develop your own thinking and problem-solving skills.)
I can say now because I’m in a different position.
The content was sparse, wasn’t it?
(Sparse content and concise explanations should not be confused）
Now that my position has changed, I think
There is no single answer in the market.
So keep trading simple, take profits methodically, and manage funds meticulously!
That’s all there is to trading.
Therefore, you win more the less you overthink it.
So, to be extreme, indicator-based methods (which require discretion) and techniques
don’t exist, they’re unnecessary.
What matters is choosing indicators/methods carefully, taking profits methodically, and strict money management.
If you miss those, you absolutely cannot win.
Conversely, someone who can do those can win!!
What you need after entry is to take profits and cut losses in a planned way.
If you can’t, you should think about what to do!
For you,
I hope this post is helpful.
P.S.
That’s why I never make difficult-to-ask questions,
complicated methods, EAs, or indicators.
For example this

Could be good for you who are not good at closing trades.
A closing-trade EA becomes a part of your method.
It might also help those who are bad at closing or who can’t enter properly.
Start trading from your drawn line!
Before you know it, you’ll end with a profit!
