Leo
Started investing in FX and cryptocurrencies in 2010. While also being a former hair salon owner—an entrepreneur—he has built a career spanning over 10 years.
In 2017, he rode the cryptocurrency bubble, achieving the astonishing feat of growing 3 million yen into 120 million yen in just a year and a half.
However, overconfidence thereafter led to a bitter setback in which he lost the majority of his assets.
This downturn opened his eyes to the importance of defense: “Rather than focusing on winning, focus on how to avoid losing.”
He rigorously relearned technicals and fundamentals under a professional trader and has now established a stable trading style centered on scalping.

The AI strategy to “not lose” reached after glory and setbacks of 120 million yen
|
Today, we’re joined by Leo, who has been in the investment world since2010and has also demonstrated his prowess as a manager in the beauty business.
We will ask about the “latest trading strategy” he arrived at after a tumultuous investment journey of achieving 120 million yen and then experiencing a major loss. |

Thank you for having me. I originally relied on intuition and luck at times, but after painful failures, I poured my passion into one point: how to reduce unnecessary losses.
Today, I’d like to share what could be called the crystallization of that effort. |
|
| In particular, this time we’ll also touch on a tool that solves the common issue among intermediate and higher-level traders:“I know better, but I end up entering anyway.”Please read to the end. |

The origin of investor Leo: Inspired by a flip-phone trader at work
|
| I hear you started FX around 2010—what prompted you at that time? |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
A colleague at the same workplace was doing FX on a flip phone and said,“I make about 300,000 yen a month.”
That was the same as my monthly salary at the time, so I simply thought, “Nice,” and started copying them—that was the beginning. |
|
Earning the same as a monthly salary through FX… that’s a dream.
Did you feel any traction right from the start? |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
No, not at all (laughs).
I jumped in without knowing anything and immediately lost20,000–30,000 yen.
For someone like me who didn’t have money then, it was painful, and I quit right away.
I didn’t touch it at all for about five years after that. |
|
So you experienced losses in a situation where you didn’t understand what was going on at first.
How did you find your way back to the markets after that? |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
The trigger was when an acquaintance introduced me to a certain tool.
That became what dramatically changed my investing life—“a second start.” |
|
|
A 600,000-yen tuition? The reality that you can’t win by leaving it to tools
|
| What kind of tool was it that prompted your restart? |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
It cost around 500,000–600,000 yen,which was extremely expensive.
Looking back, it might have been something like an affiliate sales scheme, but I was desperate at the time. |
|
600,000 yen! That requires a considerable level of resolve.
Did you turn a profit quickly using that tool? |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
Not at all. There was a manual included, but the content was too difficult for me at the time to understand.
As a result, I kept losing more and more… |
|
| That’s a harsh situation. Normally, your spirit would completely break there. |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
On the contrary,“I paid that much money, so I need to study properly and earn it back,”and that lit a fire in me.
From there, I started to face FX seriously. |
|
|
Achieving 120 million yen in assets and the illusion of “1 billion yen” consumed by greed
|
| While honing your skills in FX, I heard you also achievedastonishing results in cryptocurrencies. |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
It was around 2016 to 2017.
When Bitcoin was around 90,000 yen,I bought some cheap altcoins with about 3 million yen,
and thatgrew to 120 million yen in about a year and a half. |
|
3 million yen to 120 million yen…! That’s an incredible success.
Did you grow that asset even further? |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
No, that’s where thepitfallwas.
I wanted to turn 120 million into 1 billion,and greed got the better of me.
I invested 80 million yen, which was the majority of my assets, into an unlisted coin,and ended up losing most of it. |
|
| Losing assets in the hundreds of millions of yen must have been unimaginable stress. |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
Because it was money that had increased purely by luck, I lost it easily.
But,precisely because of that experience, I became convinced that I wanted to be able to trade in the true sense. |
|
|
The limits of self-study and acquiring the skill of “continuously winning”
|
| After losing your assets, how did you build the stable style you have now? |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
Around 2018, I met a truly skilled, top-notch trader.
From there,I relearned technicals and fundamentalsthoroughly from the basics. |
|
| Learning from a true professional made a big difference, didn’t it? |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
It was completely different.
I gradually felt like I was starting to “understand” the market.
It took time since I was also running the beauty business in parallel, butby around 2022, I finally felt that I had established my own trading approach. |
|
Over 10 years since your start in 2010.
After those long years, you arrived at your current “don’t lose” style. |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
Yes. Thankfully, the past several years have been very smooth.
I’m currently also focusing on systematizing the techniques I’ve cultivated. |
|
|
An entry-suppression AI for “you,” who are no longer a complete beginner
|
| Right now, I hear you’re especially focused on“gold scalping,”as well as an AI tool that supports it. |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
Yes. The more FX experience people have, the more they struggle with “ending up entering in situations where they shouldn’t.”
I built a system that stops that with AI. |
|
AI stops the entry…
Specifically, what kind of logic is it? |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
This AI “remembers past losing patterns.”
Even if entry conditions are met, if it resembles chart patterns that lost in the past, it deliberately suppresses the signal. |
|
| So rather than “chasing wins,” you’re using AI to “avoid losses.” |
|
|
|
| Hayakawa |
|
|
|
| Leo |
|
Exactly. It’s a tool for intermediate traders who know how to read charts to cover their own weaknesses and “retain profits.”
In the second video, I’d like to dive deeper into this mechanism! |
