Episode 3 "An 'unfinished structure' collapses everything"
The moment a trade collapses is usually predictable.
It’s not the entry, nor the method.
▶When you couldn’t end it
Ideally, you should close as soon as there is profit.
But people can’t end there.
“It might go a little further.”
“It can still go, right?”
“Ending here would be a waste.”
That one moment of judgment ruins everything.
Before you know it, unrealized gains disappear,
and you end up with a loss.
And then you think again.
“Why didn’t I end it there…?”
But you know.
This isn’t a matter of willpower.
▶ Because it’s a structure where the end isn’t decided.
Most people know where to enter.
But the place to end remains vague.
- How far to push
- Where to take profit
- Where to give up
You enter the market without deciding these points.
That’s why judgments are required every time.
▶Judgment entering = wobble
And that wobble
▶erases profits
▶ increases losses
and repeats this many times.
“Even though I understand it, I can’t do it.”
That feeling comes from here.
▶ It’s not that you don’t understand.
▶It’s just that it isn’t decided.
I’ve been doing this for a long time too.
That’s why I realized in the middle.
▶“I have to decide how it ends first.”
Since then,
I started to think about
“how I end it”
It isn’t perfect.
But,
▶the number of times I repeat the same loss has definitely decreased
Trading is not about
thinking about a way to win.
▶ creating a shape that doesn’t break.
As long as you can’t end it, you won’t keep the win.
▶ I fix the end first, from the start
