[Learn from Alex] The "60% Rule" and Waiting Technique that dramatically change those who can't win in FX?♂️✨
Hello, I am oukanoakari (All-Mighty) ✨
When you’re trading FX, don’t you hit walls like this?
“I understand it in my head, but I break my own rules…?” “I end up chasing losses and becoming a posi-positi pup…?”
Actually, it’s not that your willpower is weak. It’s the “structure of the brain” that’s to blame?
Yesterday, I watched a video that had just been released on YouTube and I was deeply impressed. It featured the world-renowned climber who ascends a 900-meter cliff without a safety line,Alex Honnoldand explained “neuroscience and behavioral psychology”??♂️✨
Over the years I have faced the market, overcome many painful failures, and finally arrived at the “truth to win.” It was eloquently expressed from a neuroscience perspective.
Today, I will share the three mindsets to survive in FX and master “small losses, big gains” inspired by Alex’s astonishing challenge.
It’s quick to read on your smartphone, so please stay with me until the end ??
? 1. Break down巨大的壁 into baby steps (the source of patience)
Alex climbs the sheer cliff without a safety line. He isn’t a “superhuman who never feels fear” ?♂️
To overcome fear, he didn’t attempt to climb the 900m wall in one go,he narrowed the route to a few centimeters where hands and feet would be placedand practiced many times in safe conditions?♂️✨
➡ 【FX Translation: The overwhelming power of waiting⏳】
If you suddenly aim to “earn 1 million yen a month” in FX, your brain will feel fear and normal judgment will fail ??
That’s why you subdivide the market. I usually monitor a broad market of 28 currency pairs and gold (XAUUSD). However, I never jump in recklessly.
For example, until a tiny advantage (signal) that I have thoroughly tested appears, such as RSI (period 9) reaching 35% on a 30-minute or 4-hour chart, I simply hold my breath and wait decisively.
This is the strongest defense to climb the market wall safely by eliminating reckless risk ?️✨
? 2. Perfectionism is a trap of the brain. Start at “60%” (the decision to cut losses)
What resonated most in the video was the idea that “perfectionism is an excuse for the brain’s bias toward keeping things as they are”
If you wait for 100% perfect preparation, you’ll never act. So the right approach is to “start running at 60% and adjust if you’re wrong,” right? ?♂️
➡ 【FX Translation: The decision to cut losses and small gains?】
This was actually the root cause of my own pain in the past: the delay in cutting losses ??
If you chase a 100% win rate (perfection) in trading, you cannot admit your losses, and you will delay cutting losses. The excuse of “it might come back” is exactly the brain’s current-state bias?❌
There is no perfection in the market.“Enter with a 60% edge, and cut immediately (without damage) if things don’t go as expected”
This courage to abandon perfection is the biggest key to establishing “small losses, big gains” in FX ??
? 3. Don’t rush results—love the process (habit formation)
Before gaining global fame, Alex reportedly spent ten years climbing walls while sleeping in his car ??️
Growth doesn’t come in a straight line; it explodes in the end with compounding. He didn’t seek results quickly; he enjoyed the process itself, which led to his success.
➡ 【FX Translation: Trade notes and habit formation?】
“Become a billionaire in just three months!”—such sweet words flood the market, right?
If you rush only for results, people easily turn markets into gambling (casino) ??❌
True traders keep daily trade notes, calmly verify charts of 28 currency pairs and gold, and enjoy that “quiet process itself.” Those daily, small improvements compound and eventually, one day, yield overwhelming results ?✨
My achieving three crowns at Fint〇〇 wasn’t thanks to a magic wand, but to this steady, daily accumulation of compounding — the essence of it.
? What I truly want to convey (mission)
Why am I sharing these mindsets?
Because I genuinely want to increase traders who face the market honestly and not turn it into a casino ❤️?
There is no magic to instantly reverse fortune in FX. I believe it’s the ultimate self-growth tool to face your brain’s biases (fear and perfectionism), follow the rules, and control yourself ✨
From now on, I will continue to face the market with utmost honesty. If you want to break free from gambling trading and acquire real skills, why not take baby steps together? ✨
Thank you truly for reading to the end!
