【Learn from Anime about Market Psychology】Unveiling from the despair of FX Warrior Kurumi-chan: the real reasons why 90% of traders self-destruct and the power of patience ✨
Hello, I’m oukanoakari (All-Mighty) ✨
Without further ado, have you heard about the popular manga/anime “FX Warrior Kurumi-chan”?
Recently on YouTube「FX Warrior Kurumi-chan: Despair Ranking」a video was showing...
It was so realistic that it gave me chills down my spine as I watched? (laughs)
The protagonists become obsessed with FX and fall into an unbelievable despair.
You might think, “It’s just anime, exaggeration, right?”
…No, this is the real world of the market, where the "sketch of human psychology" is happening every day.
Why do many people get lost in the “Holy Grail search” in FX or break their mental state and self-destruct?
Today we’ll use this video’s “3 Despair Rankings”as a theme to share the truth I focus onabout winning with “1-minute chart, technical analysis-focused trading.”
1️⃣ Wisdom Part 1: The illness called “Hopeful Assumption”
〜 A decision to cut losses can save your life 〜
In the video’s【7th place】, the protagonist Kurumi-chan loses for the first time.
At first she was doing well, but because she got greedy and didn’t take profits, the unrealized P/L became negative 270,000 yen.
Normally she should have cut losses here, but she couldn’t decide, and convinced herself
“This big drop is the setup for it to go back up!”
As a result, she was dragged to the brink of forced liquidation down to negative 630,000 yen.
? oukanoakari’s FX Translation
This is exactly what behavioral psychology calls“Prospect Theory (the psychology of not wanting to admit a loss)”in action.
“Maybe it will go up next.” “If I just wait, it might come back.”
Let me be clear. In the market, “hope and wishes” are the greatest enemies❌
In fact, even I, who speak with some authority, have a weakness for “perfectionism.”
“I must be right about my own technical analysis!” “I want to end with a 100% clean win rate!”
However, in my main battlefield—trading on the four-hour chart—hesitation at a pre-set stop loss line is fatal. Because the positions are analyzed with care, when the scenario deviates, you should strictly pursue “small losses, big gains.”
Admit honestly that your analysis was wrong, and have the decisiveness to cut losses mechanically. That is the ticket to winning big at the next opportunity?✨
2️⃣ Wisdom Part 2: The thinking-stopping “averaging down” and position-itis
〜 The power of waiting is overwhelmingly your weapon 〜
In the video’s【6th–4th places】, a friend “Me Mujin-chan” goes on a rampage.
After winning 600,000 yen once, she gets cocky and ignores adviceby trading gamble-like during economic indicator releases?
Furthermore, in【5th place】, Kurumi-chan puts her father’s emergency savings3,000,000 yeninto her account and keeps buying more as the market falls, in a state of “stop thinking” (averaging down)…?
? oukanoakari’s FX Translation
When emotions like “I want to recover my losses!” take over, humans inevitably
?unfounded entries (position-itis)?hopeful buying (averaging down)
fall into these two pits.
But when prioritizing technical analysis, I have one strength I cherish most.
It is...? “The overwhelming power of waiting” ?.
In the market, until the setup becomes favorable for you,waiting thoroughly itself is the trade.
There is no need to rush into a gambling market where indicators swing up and down.
If there’s no opportunity, close the screen.
Wait like a hawk until your rules are met?
Only those who can wait are rewarded by the goddess of the market ✨
3️⃣ Wisdom Part 3: The trap of leverage and the collapse of “fund management”
〜 Do not turn the market into a casino 〜
In the video’s climax, the【1st place】 and【2nd place】 scenes were truly a hellish diagram…?
【2nd place】The mother cancels family money and insurance,and 20,000,000 yen is wiped out.
【1st place】Kurumi rushes because she’s so close to the goal and applies24x leverage to EUR/CHF.
Then, swept up in the historic “Swiss franc shock (40% plunge)”, she instantly shoulders【120,000,000 yen in debt】?
? oukanoakari’s FX Translation
Tuition, living expenses, family savings… the moment you invest money you cannot afford to lose into the market, that person becomes not a trader butjust a gambler.
Leverage that ignores proper lot sizing can, with one unexpected shock (black swan), force your life into a forced loss cut.
? My mission: facing the market with integrity
Why am I today discussing this story through an anime video?
Because there are too many people in the world whomisunderstand FX as casino-like gambling?
If you open social media, you’ll see sweet words like “Anyone can earn a monthly income of ○○” or “A magic signal to earn 1 million instantly!” — the Holy Grail search, flooding the feeds.
But such magic does not exist.
I am driven by a strong principle to“increase traders who face the market honestly rather than turning it into a casino”✨
Know your weaknesses (mental state) objectively.
Based on technical analysis, face the 1-minute chart with sincerity.
Thoroughly practice small losses and big gains, and wait overwhelmingly.
This is the single truth I arrived at after a long detour to survive long-term in FX?
? Summary: Shall we aim to be “honest traders” together?
The despair rankings of “FX Warrior Kurumi-chan” teach us important lessons.
Discard hopeful assumptions and make decisions to cut losses ✂️
Do not trade in a thinking-stopping way; wait overwhelmingly
Manage funds strictly and do not turn the market into a casino
If you’re currently worried, “reason for entry wobbly…” or “I can’t wait and I keep position-itis…”, it’s okay.
I’ve also failed from perfectionism, so I understand your pain deeply?
If you face the market correctly and honestly, it is by no means a scary casino.
It’s a wonderful business that can become a lifelong skill ✨
