I stopped taking profits and switched to protecting.
Only looking at the closing price,
judgment has faded quite a bit.
But,
there was still one problem left at the end.
Where would it end?
While extending,
I always think like this.
- Maybe it can go further
- Ending here would be early
- Despite the good stretch
this is already,
the judgment changing its form and returning.
The act of taking profits,
on the surface, seems simple.
But in reality,
it is the act that invites the most judgments.
The moment you try to take profits,
- how far will it extend
- where is the right place to cut
- now, or one more step
you start thinking about the future.
At that moment,
the structure collapses.
So I changed my approach,
to reverse the way of thinking.
I stopped thinking about where it ends.
Instead, I decided on this:
this is all I do.
"If it breaks, it ends."
As long as it isn’t broken,
it doesn’t end.
If it breaks,
there’s no need to seek a reason; it ends.
The moment I adopted this idea,
trading became quiet all at once.
- I don’t try to extend it
- I don’t expect
- I don’t judge
Just,
I only check whether it is broken or not.
Only then did I understand.
What I wanted to do wasn't taking profits.
It was protection.
In this structure,
at first, there was no name at all.
Only,
"as long as it doesn’t break, don’t end it"
That alone was the way of thinking.
But as I built it,
there was only one word that felt right.
Protection (mamoru).
It isn’t a structure to chase profits.
A structure solely to protect profits.
So I named this final mechanism
the word **"Mamori"**.
Mamori,
is not trailing.
It isn’t chasing.
First, you set a line to protect.
Then, you move it
as long as it doesn’t break.
If it breaks,
it ends.
Here, there is no room for judgment.
- It seems to extend
- It seems to return
- It might still go on
The place for thinking does not exist from the start.
With closing-price focus
I trimmed judgments,
and by the idea of "protecting"
I stopped the revival of judgment.
With this,
trading was completed.
Mamori is the final structure to eliminate judgment.

So,
what do you use to judge that it is "broken"?
If you leave this ambiguous,
Mamori cannot be established.
Next,\
why did we arrive at the condition of "two reversing candles and a confirmed close"
.
This goes into the core of Mamori’s
final logic.
