Learn from the Prince of Aojiru who crawled up from rock bottom to an annual sales of 13 billion yen: the secret to becoming able to “wait overwhelmingly” in FX?️✨
“I’m exhausted from chasing the Holy Grail, always searching for methods…” “I end up burning through funds due to my impulsive, overconfident tendencies…” Isn’t your mindset in the market sometimes unstable like this?
To be honest, I used to be the same. Perfectionism got in the way, and I delayed cutting losses because I believed “my analysis can’t be wrong, it should reverse from here,” which led to burning through precious capital many times.
After painstakingly validating everything, I finally arrived at my current mindset. But the other day I watched a video where a certain entrepreneur told a brutal story of a “reverse life-turn” and I got goosebumps.
The business philosophy of someone who clawed their way up from rock bottom linked so perfectly to the “essence of winning in FX” that I learned through painful experiences in the markets—it's terrifyingly aligned.
Today, I’ll translate the wisdom I gained from that video into FX trading and talk about the “essence” you need to survive in the market.
The obsession in management ➔ The patience obsession in FX
When that entrepreneur started a company from scratch after losing everything, he said, “Management is obsession.”
So, what is the “obsession” in FX? It is not “holding a position forcefully.” It is the obsession to wait, rock-solid, until your edge (your winning point) arrives.
I’m a former professional darts player, and the concentrated focus to aim precisely with one shot directly translates to my current trading style. In my rules, I center RSI with a period of 9 and never move until the conditions align. For gold, I have a clear trigger: as soon as RSI reaches 50%, I decisively close all positions.
If the opportunity doesn’t come, you wait. This “overwhelming waiting power,” this obsession, is the strongest defense to protect your funds.
The advantage in marketing ➔ The decision to cut losses in FX
Also, when starting a new business, he declared, “I only do things that make money.” He conducts thorough research and enters only after creating a state with a high probability of success.
FX is exactly the same. Fighting where you have no edge is like gambling, just leaving it to luck.
And most importantly, can you withdraw immediately the moment your probability of success collapses? I rigorously use a “maximum loss of 4%” cut. When my scenario (edge) collapses, I cut without emotion. Only after doing this can true “small loss, big gain” be achieved.
The turning power in adversity ➔ FX’s “data-driven approach to failure”
What moved me most in the video was that even after suffering a life-threatening injury, he decided, “Because of this accident, I’ll build a future that I’m glad about,” and started a new challenge.
In FX, you may experience a life-destroying loss that leads to despair. But that should not be treated as just a “failure.”
Open your trading notebook, thoroughly analyze why you lost, and convert it into data. When you can smile saying, “Because of that huge loss, now I have iron-clad rules,” you will overcome adversity. That mindset to conquer adversity cultivates traders into truly skilled ones.
Why am I taking care to share such mental and philosophical discussions?
Because I want to reduce people treating FX as pure gambling, even a little.
The market is a place where human desires and fears swirl. Therefore, not only surface techniques but also a solid mind and money management are essential to survive.
Be relentlessly honest with the market and adhere to your rules. It may seem modest, but I’m certain that honest traders will be the ones who laugh last.
