There are unrealized profits.
A little relief.
I think it might still rise a bit more.
Before I knew it,
it had come back down.
How many times has this happened?
I thought there must have been a rule I’d set.
I had also set a take-profit line.
I had also set a stop-loss.
Even so, I couldn’t follow them.
When I lose, the cause is always the same when I look back.
・I thought it would rise a bit more
・I felt it would go higher
・I felt it would be a waste to take profit here
In other words,
the reason for losing isn’t the market.
It was my own judgment.
It’s often said.
“Suppress greed.”
“Control your emotions.”
But you understand it only when you try it in practice.
It’s impossible.
The moment unrealized profits appear,
people inevitably think.
・How far will it extend?
・Should I still hold?
・Should I take profit here?
This “space to think”
is what distorts judgment.
The problem isn’t greed.
It’s being in a state where you can judge.
Pros do not neglect this.
They don’t try to erase greed.
They don’t strive to become stronger.
Instead,
they reduce the moments requiring judgment.
・Fix the take-profit line
・Fix the stop-loss line
・Don’t make the decision yourself
In other words,
make take-profit and stop-loss executable without hesitation.
That is,
to entrust the settlement to the system.
This isn’t to win.
It’s a design to prevent breakage.
When unrealized profits appear, the collapse isn’t due to weak will.
From the start, it was trading in a structure that would collapse.
That’s why,
strength of will isn’t what’s needed.
What’s needed is to fix the way it ends.
To end take-profit and stop-loss,
in the same standard every time.
Do not insert judgments.
Do not waver.
Just, end it.

If you understand why unrealized profits disappear,
next, look at the “design to not erase.”
What changes the trade isn’t the entry.
It’s how you end it.
