Hello, I’m Konata.
“If you wait a little longer, it should rise…!”
As soon as a position becomes unrealized profit and I start calculating in my head like a scheming fox, the price returns in a V shape.
And in the end, it’s closed at the entry price, or in the worst case, cut at a loss…
Haven’t you had a similar experience?
This truly eats at your mental state. lol
Even in the past I’ve gotten heated about this,
“Why is this happening!”
and I would glare at the PC screen, raise the lot size to recoup and end up self-destructing… what a nourishing move I used to pull offｗ
But actually, getting hunted at the entry price isn’t because you’re “unlucky.”
The reason the crowd believes it will rise and places their stop-losses behind their backs is that those bundles of stop-losses are the “best bait” for the algorithms (smart money) that control the market behind the scenes.
And last week I also got hunted at the entry price several times (laugh) The essence of entry-price hunting, and
the underlying thinking that allows me to keep making profits consistently,
I’ll outline briefly.

A system without emotion does not allow your gains
In most textbooks, patterns like “buy after breaking this point” are explained.
However, a capable trader would realize that the market is not so forgiving.
Your temporary unrealized profits are followed by a quick retrace and a hunt because IPDA (algorithms) treat your profits as market imbalances and move to correct them forcefully (Rebalance).
They (smart money) need your stop-loss orders (Liquidity) as fuel to move enormous sums of money.
When the crowd believes “this is a strong support,” the price is drawn toward those stop-loss bundles like a powerful magnet.
This is the truth happening behind the scenes of the charts we look at.
In my trades this time, I was hunted at the entry price a bit after a small extension.
But if you think calmly,
“The market does not move as I expect,”
which is actually normal, right? lol
This isn’t because you were “unlucky”; the structure is that the algorithm doesn’t allow your profits.
To fill the stretch of the market’s imbalance (the market’s imbalance), for them it is the
[natural result]
and just a cycle within the system.
Therefore, before they fill this imbalance, the timing to take profits is extremely important.
This time I was hunted at the entry price, which can be attributed to the profit-taking timing not aligning with the algorithm’s plan.
Instead of getting heated and self-destructing, if you stay calm and trade in line with the algorithm without going negative, even if something like this occurs, you’ll have more opportunities where the timing aligns, and ultimately you’ll keep profits.
That’s why my ‘Last Light FX’ can consistently generate profits.
Those who let go of greed will be the ones who smile in the end
“I couldn’t take as much as I could have.”
“If I had held on, I would have made more profit.”
If you lament like this, you haven’t yet grasped the essence of the market.
From my perspective, 【as long as it’s not a loss, it’s OK】.
Whether you can maintain this stance is the decisive difference in whether you can earn for a long time and significantly in the market.
If you understand the movement of the algorithms (SMC concept), entry-price hunting can be
“Oh, this is the turn where such work is being done.”
and you can view it from a high level
as an “expected event.”
Instead of aiming for a home run in a single trade, mechanically and calmly extract the “momentary wave” created by smart money and make it a net positive.
Let go of greed and take only the width the market allows.
If you can switch to this calm mindset, you too can surely achieve【financial freedom】.
・Take profits when you can
・As long as it isn’t negative, you’re fine
・Even if negative, if it’s within expected (e.g., 1% of funds) it’s OK
I hope you will adopt this mindset.
