How to Stabilize with FX｜Trade Changes Just by Deciding Your Settlement

In the world of trading, many people chase “trends.”

If you ride the trend, you can make a lot of profit.

It can move by hundreds of pips.

Indeed, that is true.

But there is one problem with that.

Trends are uncertain.

⸻

The market does not always show a trend.

There are ranges.

There are false breaks (stop-outs).

It can end midway too.

In other words

trends become predictions.

⸻

But there is one other inevitability in the market.

That is

settlement (closing a position).

⸻

The market moves by orders.

And there are only two kinds of orders.

・New orders

・Close orders

⸻

Many people look at new orders.

But the force that actually moves the market is

the close orders.

⸻

Take profit

Stop loss

These two are bound to occur.

Because traders always close their positions somewhere.

⸻

In other words

settlements occur reliably.

⸻

As you continue trading,

you repeat similar trades over and over.

Among them, you gradually notice things.

What I noticed this time

was the idea of

“without settlement.”

To be honest, at firstI thought I was good at trend-following.

Going for markets that extend far.

Because I thought that was the proper thing for a trader.

There are trades that chase trends.

I do not intend to deny that.

But

it did not suit me.

While repeating the same trades,

I realized something.

Most of the profit I took

was not from trends.

Most of it was

the movement of closes.

⸻

So I changed my thinking.

Rather than chasing the trend

I would focus on removing settlements.

⸻

Settlements begin near the line.

Wicks appear.

Candles reverse.

Two confirmation bars appear there.

I take just 30 pips from the flow at that moment.

⸻

There is no need to chase the trend.

There is no need to take a large gain.

But

justtake the flow of settlements that is certain to occur.

⸻

Then the result becomes simple.

One time 30 pips

If you take that several times

you can reach 100 pips per day.

⸻

Trading is often thought to be difficult.

But its essence is simple.

⸻

Trends are uncertain.

Settlements are certain.

⸻

The market moves on settlements.
