Learn from Speed Wagon Ozawa’s "Mud-Wrestling FX" (Doronko Gyakubari FX): the traps of crowd psychology proven by neuroscience and the power of waiting.
Are you not getting your “brain juice” from FX? ??
While looking at FX charts, have you ever experienced your heart rate rising or your hands getting sweaty?
Recently, I watched a video on the YouTube channel of Saraba Seishun no Hikari titled “Welcoming the Biggest Muddy Speed Wagon Ozawa [Mud Fight FX]!”
As a piece of entertainment, it’s incredibly funny, but… those who endlessly chase a “surefire holy grail” or whose mindset wobbles after a series of losses may unconsciously turn the market into “entertainment” just like this video.
In fact, I’ve had a similar experience in the past. My perfectionist nature caused delays in decisions like “If I cut losses here, I’m admitting defeat…,” and as I prayed while holding positions without a plan, I ended up turning the market into a full-on “casino,” a bitter memory. ??
Today, I’ll borrow the wisdom (?) from Ozawa of Speed Wagon and talk about the essence of FX from a neuroscientific approach?

2. The trap of conformity pressure and blocking noise with neuroscience?
In the video, Ozawa’s intuition (or mood) pulled him around, and there was a big panic of “buy now!” vs. “no, the opposite!”
This is a very dangerous crowd psychology trap in FX as well. When you encounter the hype on SNS or noise in the news, your brain’s recognition system (RAS) goes awry, and your original trading rules become invisible.
Usually, I trade mainly on 1-minute charts of Gold (XAUUSD), and what’s needed to win is not “other people's voices” but “facts on the chart.” By thoroughly cutting noise from information and building your own “business habits,” you take the first step in the trading battlefield.

3. Brain juice (dopamine) frenzy and unplanned add-ons?
In the latter part of the video, when the market moved slightly in their favor, they kept buying more (averaging up) while still in an excited state?
“Go! Go!,” “Brain juice is crazy!”
As entertainment, it’s a perfect 10, but in actual trading, doing this would be a one-way ticket to ruin. FX is not a game to secrete dopamine.
In my case, I enter only after the RSI reaches a certain level (for example, period 9 reaching 35%), then once RSI hits 50% I take partial profit, and I execute full exit without hesitation. Chasing more positions is letting emotions run wild. Just like reducing business expenses or securing profits, FX is simply about executing “exits according to the rules” calmly. ?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
4. The impatience of range-bound markets and the overwhelming power of waiting ⏳
In the video, they wondered if it was time to wait, but they couldn’t resist the temptation of the moving chart right before their eyes and kept taking trades one after another.
Here lies the biggest reason traders fail: the lack of the power to wait.
My greatest strength as a trader is the overwhelming power to wait. Even in a noisy, 1-minute timeframe, I won’t budge until my favorable setup arrives, even if it takes hours.
When you become free from the fear of missing out (FOMO), your trading results stabilize dramatically. As the saying goes, “to rest is to trade,” waiting is the best capital management and the strongest trading strategy.

5. Do not turn the market into a casino; face it with integrity ⚖️
The YouTube videos brilliantly entertainment-ize the “gambling fun” aspect of FX. However, the real market where we put real money must never be turned into a casino.
My mission is to “not turn the market into gambling, and to increase by even one trader who faces it with honesty.”
The market mercilessly exposes human weaknesses and desires. Confront your own weakness of delaying losses due to perfectionism, understand your brain’s mechanisms, and control them. You must face the chart honestly and humbly.
Instead of getting emotional and fluctuating with brain juice, wait with a quiet mind and execute all exits according to the rules. I believe this is the only path to survive in FX as a business. ✨

6. In conclusion?
Thank you so much for reading up to here!
Using Ozawa’s hilarious video as a cautionary example (laugh), from tomorrow please reflect on whether your brain juice is flowing and whether you are properly waiting: are you waiting as you should?
If you resonated even a little with “I want to face the market honestly and acquire lifelong trading skills based on neuroscience,” please also take a look at my profile and past activities?
Let’s aim to become firm, genuine traders together! ✨
