Even though I decided "I'll stop here," I find myself opening the chart 30 minutes later. The Posポジ病バスター changed the environment, not my will.
Have you ever had experiences like these while trading?
- Even though you decided, “I’ll stop here for today,” you end up opening the chart 30 minutes later
- Right after losing, you end up entering with a larger lot than usual
- The next morning you wonder, “Why did I do that?”
If any of this sounds familiar, what follows may be of some help.
It's not that I haven't set rules
When you talk about this, you often hear, “Let’s set some rules.”
But most people have already set them. Stop losses, money management, daily limits. They’ve learned all the methods. It isn’t that you don’t have enough knowledge that causes this.
Still, there are days when you can’t keep them. I was like that myself.
The you who sets the rules and the you who presses the order button are different people
I think the reason is simple.
The you who set the rules and the you who presses the order button are not the same person.
In the morning, sipping coffee, the you who says, “Today, up to 30,000 yen,” is calm. You look at the numbers and decide with justification.
On the other hand, the me who has just lost 30,000 yen is a different person in the same human form. Narrowed vision, and the only thing in your head is to “recover” it.
I named this state the “rampage mode.” It’s not a name to blame you with. It’s a name to understand it.
And rampage mode has, a troublesome characteristic:
When you try to stop, you start looking for a way out
The rampage-mode self won’t be persuaded to stop.Instead, you begin to look for an escape route.
“Today is special.”
“If I enter here, I might recover.”
“This rule was too strict. I’ll change it tomorrow.”
At that moment, any of those decisions may seem rational. That is the most terrifying part.
Therefore, even if you rally your will, the same thing happens. What you need is not a strong will, buta mechanism that works when your will no longer does.
I compared three methods
I thought of three ways to stop rampage mode.
1) Stop with your will.I tried this many times and failed many times. When I’m calm I can do it, when I need it I can’t. That’s meaningless.
2) Have someone tell you.A method where you get notifications or alerts when you reach a limit. I tried this too. The result was that I pressed the next order while watching the alert go off.Rampage mode continues because you know and continue, not because you don’t know.
3) Make it impossible to trade at all.This is what I chose. Don’t seek justification. Don’t try to persuade. Create a state you can’t reach while you are calm.
I framed it as a “declaration”
The PosPos-By-Pos Buster begins by you declaring your rules before you start trading.
- Daily loss cap
- Total risk cap
- Loss count cap
- Trade count cap
You can declare only once per day. Once declared, its content cannot be changed until the next morning at 5:00.It cannot be changed until the next day's 5:00 AM.
Requests for changes can be made anytime. But they take effect at 5:00 AM the next day. In other words, when you think, “Just one more trade today,” it’s already too late.“Today is only one more trade” is too late.
It’s an inconvenient design. Being inconvenient is the role of this tool.
When you reach the cap, MT4 ends entirely
When the declared cap is reached, PosPos-By-Pos Buster closes all open positions, deletes pending orders, andshuts down MT4 itself.
It will end even if other charts are open. Even if you want to continue, it will end.
You might think that’s too harsh. I thought about it many times. Wouldn’t stopping only the EA be enough?
For rampage mode, would that truly stop it? My answer was, “No, it won’t.”
The most important thing I want to convey is something you can’t miss
There are other tools to help you follow rules. But most of them can be removed if you want to remove them.If you want to remove them, you can.If you remove it from the chart, that’s the end of it.
It’s introduced because you can’t stop yourself, but if the rampage-mode you can disable in 10 seconds, that defeats the purpose.
PosPos-By-Pos Buster operates with two EAs: the core system and a protection module.Two EAs: the main body and the protection moduleThey monitor each other’s survival, and if you try to remove one during trading, the other detects the anomaly and activates protection.
From the start, there’s no option to remove and run away.
This isn’t a design made with suspicion toward the user.Because I know what rampage mode looks like, it turned out this way.
You might have thought, “If I restart, it’ll be fine again.”
After MT4 is terminated, you can restart it.
However, PosPos-By-Pos Buster starts in a stopped state.It starts in a suspended state.What appears on the screen is only a line saying “Resume use Tomorrow morning 5:00,” and you cannot trade.
Even if you remove the EA while in this stopped state, the result is the same. The mutual monitoring still works, and MT4 terminates again. After 5:00 AM the next morning, it automatically returns to the normal monitoring state. Until then, you must wait.
Looking for a way out is a natural function of rampage mode. It’s not something to blame. So we preemptively seal off potential paths in the order they come to mind.
Some people aren’t suited for it
To be honest, I’ll say this clearly: I don’t recommend it for the following people.
- Those who hold positions for days to weekslong-term holders and swing traders(They will be closed automatically when the caps are reached, regardless of holding period)
- On the same MT4,people who don’t want to be stopped by another EA(Because MT4 ends entirely, other EAs will also stop)
- People whose main platform is the MT4 smartphone app(Trading on the app is not monitored)
- Mac MT4 or MT5 users(It won’t work)
It is a tool to quiet the impulse of facing the market in person at your desk.
What changes is the way you lose
Finally, I’ll be clear.
This tool does not predict the market. It does not give buy/sell signals. It does not increase win rate.
What changes is theway you lose.
Not the losses that balloon while you try to recover, but the losses you accept calmly as part of your predefined plan.
The you who stays calm today protects the you of today.
