"Money is just a pair of scissors" A tale of incorporating Kubozuka-style mindset that turned FX from a casino into something else
Hello, I am oukanoakari (Allmighty) ✨
When you’re facing the daily charts, do you have these kinds of concerns?
“I always end up delaying my stop loss…” “I’ve been endlessly searching for the holy grail (a winning method)…”
Actually, that was me in the past too. My perfectionist nature got in the way, and I often thought, “If I cut here, I’m admitting a loss,” which caused me to delay stop losses.
I spent a long time confronting that struggle, and now I’ve established an overwhelmingly patient trading approach, though…
Just recently, I watched a YouTube video that had me struck by a bolt of lightning ⚡️
I thought, “The FX answers I struggled to reach through my past failures, I’ve finally verbalized them exactly as they are!!”
That video features an interview with actor Yoji Kubozuka. “Huh, has FX nothing to do with this?” you might think.
In fact, the “philosophy of life and business” he spoke about is, in itself, the【ultra essence】for continuing to win in FX?
Today I’ll translate three wisdoms extracted from that video into “FX trading” and share them with you ✨
✅ Fusion 1: Remove money blocks ➡ FX capital management
Kubozuka says in the video,“Money is just a pair of scissors (a tool)”✂️
The moment you remove the “money blocks” that make money a virtue or cause attachment, his life changed drastically.
What does this mean when applied to FX?
Many people who lose in FX attach too many emotions to money. That’s why they can’t accept a single loss and end up praying through trades.
In FX, capital is just a “cost of goods” and a “tool (scissors).” Since it’s a tool, you should cut losses mechanically and prepare for the next opportunity.
Just adopting this mindset makes trading dramatically lighter!
✅ Fusion 2: Trust your gut (intuition) ➡ Decision on stop loss
Kubozuka also says this:“The gut (intuition) is hundreds of millions of years ahead of the brain (thinking). So once you decide to act on your intuition, you don’t consider reasons not to (the brain’s noise).”?❌
In FX, “intuition” means your personal set of rules built from past testing and experience, right?
When your rule (intuition) says “cut here,” your brain tries to find excuses like “maybe it’ll rebound on a 1-minute chart.” This is the biggest reason stop losses get delayed.
As a perfectionist in the past, I nearly got killed by this “brain’s excuses” too (laughs).
That’s why now, when the rule triggers, I shut my brain up and cut immediately. Realizing small losses and big gains requires making up your mind fully, that is the absolute prerequisite.
✅ Fusion 3: Fully savor the process ➡ Overwhelming “waiting power”
In the video, Kubozuka says“Results and money follow later. First and foremost, you should thoroughly enjoy the creation process (the process) on the main stage.”
This is the source of my most cherished【waiting power】⏳
People who think FX is a casino quickly seek results (money) and engage in the “pounce-pounce” habit. But true traders are different.
They analyze the market and wait patiently until their edge arrives. By facing and enjoying this “waiting process” with integrity, profits eventually come along later ✨
My strength of “overwhelming waiting power” also stems from this process-driven mindset?
? What I really want to convey
Why am I talking about this mindset today? Because I want you to know my activity philosophy as oukanoakari (Allmighty).
I’m not a gambler who makes the market a casino to feel elated or despondent; I genuinely want to increase the number of people who face the market with integrity.
Even in technically focused 1-minute scalping or day trading, the foundation is this “honest mindset.”
Wait when you should wait, and cut when you should cut. Do the ordinary things in the ordinary way?
Starting today, please“Money is just a tool” “Silence the brain’s excuses” “Enjoy the process of waiting”
Keep these three in mind as you face the charts ✨
