【Learn from Hikaru's Rakugo debut disaster】The trap of the “wrong effort” that people who can’t win in FX fall into?
Hello! This is oukanoakari (All-Mighty) ✨
Even though I’m glued to the charts every day, for some reason I can’t seem to win… “Could there be a special method (the Holy Grail) that only I don’t know about?” Are you worried and your heart wobbles like that?
In fact, I used to be the same way in the past.
My weakness was “weird perfectionism.” Because I kept chasing a 100% win rate, I couldn’t honestly admit my losses. As a result, I repeatedly made painful mistakes like “being late to cut losses and taking big hits.”
However, after noticing three perspectives, my results in day trading and 1-minute scalping began to stabilize dramatically.
This time, from the recently popular video about YouTuber Hikaru’s Rakugo controversy, I will unravel the ‘truth of the market’ that is absolutely indispensable to winning in FX.
By the time you finish reading, your way of looking at charts will have changed by 180 degrees ✨
? 1. Is “10,000 practice swings” the right form of effort?
Recently, regarding Hikaru’s Rakugo debut, some professionals said, “We’ve been honing our craft for years, and it’s frustrating that a YouTuber who just appeared can fill Meijiza,” and it caused a huge uproar.
In response, Hikaru cut it down like this.“That’s a lack of effort. Just because you swing 1,000 times a day doesn’t mean you can participate in a match.”
⚡️ This is exactly the same thing that can be said in the FX world.
Spending hours every day looking at charts. Trying out new indicators one after another. Devouring trading textbooks.
These are merely “practice swings,” and aren’t they just self-satisfaction?
The strongest strength I value most as someone who leans technical is【the overwhelming power to wait】⏳
In FX, real effort isn’t about finding a method. It’s about “waiting patiently while protecting your account funds until your edge arrives.”
Those who shift away from divergent efforts (searching for the Holy Grail) and switch to the “effort to wait” will have the door to becoming a winner open ✨
? 2. The strength to accept a dark history (shame)
In the video, Hikaru talks about his own embarrassing past failures (dark histories),“It’s okay to be ashamed. The most wasteful thing is to fear and do nothing.”and he says this.
This mindset actually ties directly to FX “cutting losses.”
In trading, shame or failure refers to unrealized losses. Perfectionists like my past self don’t want to admit that their entry was wrong (a failure), so they postpone cutting losses.
“Maybe it will come back…” and you end up praying for a trade, ultimately blowing your funds. Does that sound familiar?
In the market, a 100% win rate is impossible. Let’s boldly and gladly accept small losses (cutting losses) as they come.
