“The moment doubt disappears, trading becomes a different thing.”
The toughest part in trading is
not losing.
It’s the time to decide while being unsure.
・Whether to enter or pass
・Now or later
・Whether to cut losses or endure
In these few seconds to minutes,
a person can become exhausted all at once.
And what’s tricky is that
hesitation always lowers the quality of action.
Entries you normally wouldn’t make
loss cuts you would normally have made
markets you normally wouldn’t touch
All of this
starts from a “judgment after hesitation.”
The true nature of hesitation
The reason for hesitation is simple.
There are still options left.
・It might go higher
・It might come back
・Maybe this time is different
In other words,
in your head
you hold multiple futures at the same time.
As long as you keep this up,
trading will be hard for life.
The winning side “cannot hesitate”
This is the decisive difference.
People who win are not
necessarily mentally strong
or free from emotion.
The only difference is—
they have built a structure that prevents hesitation.
・Only enter under these conditions
・If this form collapses, it’s over
・If this price is breached, it ends immediately
So they don’t hesitate.
Rather, there is no room for hesitation from the start.
Before thinking, “What should I do?”
the conclusion has already been reached.
The moment trading becomes a “task,”
once you enter this state,
trading changes completely.
・No longer exciting
・No longer rushed
・No longer emotional about the results
Winning calmly,
losing calmly.
Because,
not your own judgment
but the results produced by the predetermined system
have caused it.
Only then
trading becomes
❌ gambling
❌ a gamble
❌ training
instead becoming
⭕️ a process
⭕️ handling
⭕️ utilization
—the final line that intermediate traders cannot cross
Many intermediate traders come to just before this step.
There is knowledge
There is experience
There is market sense
But
they cannot let go of judgment.
“I’ll do better myself.”
“This time it looks possible.”
“I want to see a little longer.”
This “final word”
continues to erode your capital.
In the next discussion,
we will finally get to the core.
What does it mean to let go of judgment, specifically?
And
how to embed that into a “system.”
? Next time (Episode 17)
“What should be let go of isn’t emotion. It’s judgment itself.”
From here on,
there is no turning back.
