Clouds of Wonder [Trade Review – February 2026, Week 3]
?This Week's Kandou Cloud Trade Review
— “Trade less, capture more” week —
This week, to be honest, the number of trades was relatively low.
But because of that, we avoided forcing trades where they weren’t right,
and carefully picked only the moments where Kandou Cloud indicated, “This is doable.”
The results are――
For GOLD, BTC, and cross-yen, all were weeks where I could ride the market trend faithfully..
▶ Cross-yen: straightforward long bias
USDJPY, GBPJPY, CADJPY,
continued with support from Kandou Cloud from below,and every pullback favored longs.
- USDJPY: +25.7 pips / +67.9 pips
- GBPJPY: +62.9 pips
- CADJPY: +44.9 pips / +45.5 pips / +37.6 pips
By looking at the cloud color and the MA arrangement,
there was no reason to sell in this market.
Not engaging in unnecessary counter-trend trades directly led to the results.
▶ GOLD: switch from “early short → later long”
GOLD was the star of the week.
First half (2/17)
Shorts due to weight in higher timeframes and a reversal sign from Kandou Cloud.
- +144.2 pips / +105.9 pips / +58.8 pips
Second half (2/18 & 2/20)
Verified cloud color change and MA support, switched to long.
- +170.6 pips / +377.5 pips
- +327.7 pips / +218.7 pips / +215.4 pips
?“Always trading with the same perspective”
This was helped by Kandou Cloud visually signaling environmental changes.
GOLD total: +1309.9 pips
▶ Bitcoin: an “easy-to-see long market”
BTCUSD was entirely long-biased.
It moved above the cloud, and each pullback resulted in a rebound.
What to do was simple.
- +726.1 dollars
- +701.0 dollars
- +790.5 dollars
- +794.1 dollars
BTCUSD total: +3011.7 dollars
?This Week's Key Points
- This week, trades were few
- Cross-yen only longs
- GOLD: early short, later long
- BTC: no hesitation to go long
What ties all of these together is
?“Not doing anything where Kandou Cloud isn’t signaling.”
?Afterword: One-liner
Trading, like life, is probably the same.
More important than “what to do” is
“what not to do” in many situations.
Kandou Cloud
is not an indicator to increase entries.
It is an indicator to reduce wasted entries.
So, in the end,
trading becomes easier and numbers remain.
