To automate the most troublesome aspect of FX trading, "settlement," I developed the Issusion FS Settlement EA. Rather than extending, it should not crumble. Through extensive trial and error, I realized that settlement is by far the most difficult element.

Learning How to End
What you should truly learn in the market may be not the "entry" but the "exit." Where to exit when you make a profit. Where to retreat when you incur a loss. Many people learn how to win. But I have repeatedly lost profits because I couldn't learn how to end. In this series, I will write about the "exit techniques" I arrived at through various experiences such as FX, binary options, and Baccarat. Win, but end. Lose, but end. I will leave behind the mindset necessary to survive.

Episode 1: Win or lose, I’ll give up.

In the world, people often say

“Don’t give up.”

I am told that.

However, I found that I could not give up, and I ended up losing more.

That’s how I feel now.

I have increased profits many times before.


And I have lost profits many times.

Looking back now,

the cause of my losses wasn’t the method.

It wasn’t money management either.

It wasn’t analytical ability.

There was only one thing.

I couldn’t give up.

That was all.


This was a story from when I was making big profits before.

At that time, I wasn’t satisfied.

“I can get more.”

That’s why I thought so.

In fact, I planned to withdraw when it reached 2,000,000 yen.

But looking back now, that threshold wasn’t well set.

It wasn’t a threshold to protect profits,

it was a threshold placed after “I could have taken more.”

And the next day, I lost that capital.


Profit appears.

I feel I can make it grow more.

So I continue.

Before I know it, profits disappear.


A loss occurs.

I feel I can recover it.

So I continue.

Before I know it, the wounds widen.


Both when I win

and when I lose.

I could not give up.


Now I understand.

It wasn’t that I was losing.

I couldn’t quit.


In a game of survival,

the one who survives isn’t the one who is good at winning.

It isn’t the one who never loses either.

It’s the person who is good at quitting.


When profits reach 20%, you end it.

When losses reach 30%, you end it.

Close the day.

End that contest.

Leave that place.


It may seem easy.

But this is the most difficult.

When people see profits, greed arises.

When they see losses, anxiety surfaces.

And greed and anxiety give rise to

“a little more.”

A word that is born from that.


However,

that “a little more”

can break everything you have built until now.


That’s why I now

cherish one word.

Win, but quit.

Lose, but quit.


In FX too.

In binary too.

In baccarat too.

In life too.

In the end, it’s the same.


Giving up isn’t defeat.

Giving up isn’t running away.

To move on to the next challenge,

it is a skill to protect your funds and your heart.


I didn’t want to learn how to lose.

I didn’t want to learn how to win.

What I truly needed was

how to end it.


Win, but quit.

Lose, but quit.


Looking back now,

the answer I had been seeking

may have been simpler than I thought.


At last, I

feel I have filled the missing piece.
