[The Truth of the Seventh Year] The part-time investor who suffered annual massive losses over the years overcomes human psychology weaknesses and numerous positional disease pitfalls, and records the entire journey to creating the “10-Year Unbeaten Fortr

Hello to everyone using Gogojan! This is Komugi.

I will also share here the “7 Years of Massive Losses Story” that I’ve publicly posted on note.

Seven years ago, in 2018. Freshly stepped into the world of FX, I spent nights drawing channel lines and Fibonacci retracements, my eyes sparkling alone at the moment I proclaimed, “I found a slam-dunk pattern!”

At the end of the articles from that time, I used to quip like this about myself.

“Who would be interested?! (Yanagibson)”

...Yes, I’d tell my past self that.Nobody might have cared (laughs).

However, seven years have passed since those painfully passionate days. I went through numerous “unbelievable failures” and “grand detours,”and eventually arrived at the world of programming (MQL4) and 300 million ticks of mathematics..

Today I want to share the raw history of my setbacks and why I stripped away human emotions to become a creator of a “fully automated trading system (EA)”—and the entire story behind it.

For part-time traders who are worried between work and the market, or those who have lost precious funds to their own emotions, I hope this reaches you even a little.

Chapter 1: The glorious “Komugi Ear-Tip Farming Method” and the dream of 10 million yen vanishing in an instant (2020)
In March 2020, as a part-time investor, I struggled deeply with balancing my busy job and trading. Even at work I clutched my smartphone in my pocket, suffering from a gambling-like urge (posiposhi disease), and I tried to overcome this weak self by devising a method named after my own name, the “Komugi Ear-Tip Farming Method.”

The rule was incredibly simple: “Do 5–6 pips of scalping per day, focus once a day, quickly take profits, and exit immediately.”

I created an Excel sheet that showed if my 10,000 yen would grow by 5 pips every day, compounding would turn into 10 million yen in just seven months. I would stay up late gazing at the screen, chuckling to myself, imagining my victory and counting my winnings like a fox in a calculation spree.

...Well, as prudent readers can guess, the result was an utterly swift KO and capital depletion (laugh).

Short-term scalping with high leverage is not investing but a test of courage. Realizing my own naivety and greed, I quietly returned the article to draft (unpublished) and vowed to reflect and restart in my heart.

Chapter 2: Manual daily validation by the “Daily Chart Craftsman” and a win with real funds of 4 million yen… followed by a fall
“There is no magic that makes you win easily in the market.” Awake, I began dirty manual validations.

Focusing on daily price action (candlestick shapes, engulfing patterns, support/resistance, N-values and E-values), I traced back past daily charts year by year, recording entry rationale, price ranges, and risk-reward (RRR) in Excel.

From this painstaking validation emerged a logic I named the “Daily Chart Craftsman.”

This logic showed very high effectiveness in pairs like GBPUSD, and I was ready to deploy it in a real account with 4 million yen in capital.I traded without placing unnecessary buy orders, waiting for the decisive points on the daily chart and aiming precisely. The account balance steadily rose, gradually climbing upward.

“I can win…! My logic is real!”



Just as I became certain, the market’s demon appeared not in the charts but inside my own heart.

On海外 (overseas) account screens, there appeared inflated “excess margin.” “Huh? If I use this extra capital to do a bit of scalping, I could earn enough for a tasty dinner tonight… in an instant, perhaps?”

Tempted by the devil, I unleashed naive high-leverage “scalping by a poor trader (bad scalper)” with no logic.Within a single night, I incurred severe unrealized losses and completely wiped out my precious profits and capital.

Chapter 3: Eliminate my own “emotions”—Self-taught MQL4 coding and the birth of GWR

In my cold room, facing a darkened screen, I vowed.

“Logic can win. But as long as human greed and carelessness are involved, I will eventually make the same mistake again. ...Then I must remove myself entirely from trading.”

From there I began to study MQL4 (the programming language of MT4) on my own with intense effort.

First I created the senior EA “Daily Chart Craftsman” by porting the manual Excel-validated price action logic into a program (currently under review by Gogojan).

And after further study, I arrived at the all-weather Multi-layer Protection Grid EA by combining 5-minute decisive criteria with multi-layer filters‘Golden Wheat Reaper (GWR)’.

Even facing the last decade and a half of huge collapses (COVID-19 crash, flash crashes) over three hundred million ticks, this fortress of mathematics never broke down.

“Stop trying to predict market waves, and place funds in a structure that does not break.” The moment when seven years of failures and validations finally converged into one code.

In Closing: To my 7-years-ago self
Currently, my main live account (about 8 million yen in real funds) has GWR quietly harvesting the wheat on the chart around the clock.

What I do every day is simply to confirm once that the system is functioning correctly. The image of a part-time trader frantically glancing at a smartphone during work is no longer there. My mind is remarkably calm and serene.

To the self seven years ago who drew Fibonacci and channel lines and searched for a “slam-dunk pattern.”

“The slam dunk wasn’t in human hands. It lay in the mathematics of 300 million ticks, where emotions are discarded.”

From now on, I will continue to publish in this note: an honest operation documentary of the 8 million yen real account and asset-building theories for surviving as a part-time investor.

Thank you very much for reading to the end! Wishing you all a great investment life as well!
