The world I see after graduating from Posipoji disease
“FX is something you trade every day and earn aggressively.”
There was a time when I believed that too.
But ironically, after the number of “days I don’t trade” increased, profits clearly began to stay for longer.
This time, I will summarize, based on my own experience, why reducing the number of trades can make you win more.
1. The ultimate profit improvement is to削る wasteful losses
Many people look for methods to increase win rate or amazing indicators, but what’s truly important is to reduce losses.
If you’re watching the chart every day, you inevitably feel the urge that “I must have some position, or I’ll miss out” (the trading impulse). However, by narrowing the number of trades, wasteful losses like the following were wiped out.
✅ Wandering in a non-directional range market
✅ Overheated revenge trades trying to make back losses
✅ Entries with weak justification like “it seems to go down for some reason”
“Not losing” is the direct route to the greatest profits.
2. Only hunt for your own strong patterns
It is said that 80% of the market is a range without a clear direction.
“The days I don’t trade” means, in other words, I’ve become able to wait quietly until the patterns I’m good at appear.
✅ When a clear trend appears
✅ When price returns to a major support/resistance line
Targeting only these high-win-rate, tasty situations pinpointedly. This is the essence of “waiting for the market,” which professional traders also do.
3. Mental steadiness yields correct judgments
If you hold positions every day, the chart consumes you mentally, even while you sleep. When the mind is exhausted, you delay loss-cutting or exit too early, making trades sloppy.
Being able to close the chart with the resolve, “There’s no chance today, so I won’t trade,” gives you the mental margin to stay calm and execute perfect trades according to the rules when a genuine opportunity comes.
Conclusion: strategies for the future
“Sometimes stepping back is the mark of the market,” and it is the strongest strategy to earn.
If you’ve begun to win more with fewer trades, the next step is simple.
Instead of forcing an increase in frequency, gradually raise your lot size on those carefully selected opportunities. With this alone, you can keep your working hours short and substantially increase profits.
If anyone is worried that their recent trading frequency has decreased, rest assured. That is proof that you are evolving into a “winning trader.”
