With a margin of 300,000 yen, daily profit +30%. Today's trade review centered on my self-made indicator

Good evening.

This time,I will briefly review today's trade results using an indicator I developed.

Current funds under management are,combined personal and corporate accounts totaling about 300,000 yen.
Lot sizing is based on0.05 lots per 100,000 yenas a rough guideline.

Today, while relying on my self-made signal tool, there were also momentswhere I entered with discretion regardless of the signal.
As a result,today's maximum drawdown (DD) expanded to 14,665 yen.

To be honest, today I took a somewhat aggressive stance (laughs).

However, the usual drawdown tends to be aroundnot reaching 10,000 yenand today was a day with slightly larger exposure.

That said,today's profit was about 100,000 yen.
Considering the margin of 300,000 yen,a daily return of around +30%

It's already 2:00 AM, so good night...

Role of the self-made indicator

What I feel when using my own indicator is
not so much a “magic tool that makes you win,” but

a tool that reduces unnecessary entries and helps organize rationale

and is extremely effective in that regard.

In particular,

• grasping market flow
• visualizing entry candidates
• checking targets for take profit and stop loss
• suppressing emotional trading

these aspects have become considerably easier than when I was trading with discretion alone.

Today, since I did enter by discretion in some places, the drawdown was a bit larger, but
in other words,the more you stray from the rules, the more it can wobble— this is something I reconfirmed.

About lot management

Lot size is
0.05 lots per 100,000 yen
in this framework.

It is not an excessively risky lot size relative to capital,
and I am mindful of balancing “the desire to grow” with “the desire not to blow up.”

Of course, depending on market conditions, the same lot size can pose different levels of risk.
Therefore, besides lot size, I consider

• quality of entries
• how to endure unrealized losses
• presence or absence of averaging down
• not being greedy with take profits

I believe these are also quite important.

Today's reflections

Looking at the results alone today, it was a very good day,
but that doesn’t mean there aren’t points to reflect on.

In particular, because I included discretionary trades beyond the signals,
the maximum drawdown reached 14,665 yenand there is room for improvement.

Under usual circumstances, drawdown can be kept even lower,
and I realized again that “reviewing the day you win is important.”

Moving forward

Even with a capital of 300,000 yen,
if I manage lot size and risk consciously and operate under rules that suit me, I feel there is a real possibility of continued effectiveness.

Of course, every day won’t go this smoothly.
Nevertheless,I will focus on not taking big losses and on seizing days with good results.
I think this accumulation is the most important.

Going forward, I will continue to fine-tune my self-made indicator,
reduce unnecessary entries, and improve reproducibility.

I will keep pushing to grow steadily through compound interest.
