[Win rate changes dramatically] FX Trade Note does not need "beautiful words." A way of thinking to face the market with honesty? ✨
Hello, I am oukanoakari (All Mighty) ✨
Speaking of which, everyone. Have you ever felt rushed after seeing other people’s “huge profits” on X (formerly Twitter) or similar platforms? ??
“I have to make money fast too…!” “If I learn that person’s method, I might win…!”
And so I’m swayed by SNS information, break my own rules, jump in, and enter trades. As a result, I go against the trend and incur unrealized losses,do a pity-trade and get burned…?
embarrassingly, I’ve had the same experience in the past?
My greatest weapon in trading is “the overwhelmingly patient waiting power.” ⏳ I can glare at a one-minute chart and wait relentlessly for my advantage to come, until the technical indicators like RSI reach the limit and reveal my edge.
However, in the past my weakness was “perfectionism.” If anything unexpected happened, I stubbornly thought, “There’s no way my analysis is wrong,”and sometimes my stop-loss was disastrously late ??
Anyway, today I happened to watch a YouTube video about “practicing writing truths,” and it turned out to be incredibly relevant to FX mental management and how to write a trading journal, and it truly startled me?✨
Today I want to share the wisdom I gained from that video,translated into FX tradingand shared with you ?? If you don’t treat the market like a casino but instead want to be a trader who faces it with sincerity, please read to the end ?✨
1️⃣ You don’t need “pretty words” in your trading journal? ❌
In the video, it was said that when writing, if you try to make it pretty to please others, your true feelings disappear. So first, write your emotions in a diary that no one will see, andclear the channels of wordsis important ?✨
This is,the very same thing as an FX trading “trading journal”‼️
In a losing-day trading journal, are you writing fancy excuses like “I went against the higher-timeframe trend…” or “I misread the Dow theory turning point…”? Those are just polished excuses (pretty words), right?
What you should truly write is the much messier “real emotions.”
“I greedily took profit too soon and immediately re-entered in anger.”
“I was afraid of stopping the loss, so I ended up praying.”
First, pour out this weakness in your notes without worrying about anyone’s eyes. Until you face your true feelings (fear and greed) head-on, your mindset will never stabilize. Only after venting and “clearing the channels” can you calmly analyze charts ✨
2️⃣ Reframe the subject from the market to “Me” ??
The second wisdom from the video was to “return the subject to ‘me’.” It’s important to say with personal responsibility things like, “That game was not for me,” rather than criticizing, “That game is boring.”
When we lose in FX, we tend toshift the subject away.
❌ “The current market is unfair!” ❌ “This method cannot be used at all!”
From today,bring the subject back to ‘Me’and try it?
⭕️ “My perfectionism as ‘Me’ caused me to delay stops.” ⭕️ “I waited because ‘Me’ couldn’t stand waiting and entered without a edge.”
It’s harsh, but the market is always right. Until you stop blaming external factors (the environment or tools—a big subject) and take personal responsibility for what you did, your growth as a trader will stall. Reflecting on “What did I do?” is the first step to facing the market honestly ?✨
3️⃣ From “empathy” to “understanding.” Upholding a solitary, personal rule?️
Finally in the video, it was said, “It’s impossible to gain everyone's empathy. Be extremely candid with your own feelings and aim for understanding—’I see why this person felt that way’” ?️
In the FX world, there are many sugary words aimed at mass appeal like “90% win rate!” or “Anyone can earn by tapping their phone!”words designed to win widespread sympathy, which can be tempting?
But reality is different, isn’t it? Trading style is highly personal.
I rely on one-minute timeframe technicals and wait overwhelmingly for reversal opportunities ⏳? If no chance arises, I will skip for hours.
This rough and boring style may not resonate with people who want quick profits at all, but that’s fine.
If there are people who understand that oukanoakari faces the market with such a thorough wait, that’s enough ?✨
There’s no need to empathize with others’ styles and waver.Build your own highly personal “miles” rules and adhere to them in solitude.That is the strongest shield to survive in the FX world ?️✨
? Finally: To avoid turning the market into a casino
How was that? The process of “finding your real words” in the writing technique completely aligns with the process of “finding your own axis (personal rules) in FX” ?✨I don’t like treating FX as mere gambling or a casino. I want to genuinely increase the number of traders who admit their weaknesses (my case is perfectionism) and test them honestly, facing the market sincerely?
