Only translate what can be understood: how to leave a hold with a single line

On Tuesday evening, there was only half of what I understood clearly inside the screen.

After entering, I moved from the part I didn’t understand and was cut off.

...What I understood was correct, though.

For a while, I used this to console myself.

But the half that was correct was almost unrelated to the result.

I will write this starting from that day as it is.

What I increased was not the section I understood, but the section I didn’t.

Good evening!

This is Masashi^^

What I stopped this time is entering based only on the parts I understood as a basis.

Instead, I decided to leave one line for the parts I didn’t understand.

【Hold: I don’t know how far this will continue】This is all there is.

You can write it after you’ve written it, or you can close it for that day.

After lining up two months, I realized I always skipped the same parts.

This is the Tuesday evening story about being cut from the part I didn’t understand。

✅ The half that was correct had nothing to do with the result

After being cut off, I stared at the screen for a while.

The parts I was reading were indeed as I read them.

So at first I thought my luck was bad.

When I looked again the next morning, I realized that wasn’t the case.

What moved was the part I had never looked at before.

Calling something that came from an unseen place luck is hard to justify.

Rather, I just didn’t know it would come.

The half that was correct was only pleasant and not useful.

And because it felt pleasant, it sticks in memory strongly.

When it remains strongly, I tend to look at the same half next time as well.

I think this repeating pattern is the hardest to break.

✅ The half that was correct was only pleasant and did not relate to the result。

Calling something that came from an unseen place luck is hard. It was just that I didn’t know it.

? Parts I don’t understand are, in the first place, not visible

This is the trickiest part of all.

The parts you don’t understand don’t appear as “unknown” in that form in your sight.

On the screen, nothing special is displayed.

So unless you actively search, they disappear entirely from existence.

For a long time, I thought I was looking at the whole screen.

Actually, I only looked at the parts I could read.

Unread parts are visible but don’t enter your awareness.

This isn’t something you can fix simply by being careful.

Because the thing to be careful about isn’t visible in the first place.

That’s why I shifted the approach from caution to procedure.

Every time, I fill in one line for the unknown column.

? Uncertain places don’t appear as unknown if you only see them。

You can’t prevent it by simply being careful. The target of caution isn’t even visible in the first place.

? If you only gather known materials, your confidence will increase

Why do we tend to collect only the parts we know?

I think it’s because that feels better.

The more readable material there is, the more skilled I feel I am.

Moreover, the materials collected usually face the same direction.

If you line up three materials in the same direction, your certainty becomes quite strong.

However, what’s increasing is confidence, not evidence.

Because they weren’t confirmed from different directions.

Most of the times I was heavily influenced, it was in this form.

The more confident I was, the more the materials bias when I later reread them.

Bias is invisible when you’re there in the moment.

Only after you become able to see it, does it become clear when you created the uncertain column.

? Increasing with the same-direction materials is about confidence, not evidence。

The more confident I was, the more the materials biased toward the same direction when I reread later.

? I created a single line for Hold

That’s really all there is to it.

【Hold: I don’t know how far it goes】Add this one line to the pre-entry note.

Write what you cannot yet put into words on this screen right now.

Even if you can’t say it well, as long as you can point to the place, that’s enough.

There’s no need to write the reason you don’t understand.

Just admitting “I don’t understand” and pointing to the place was enough.

When you write, it isn’t always easy to come up with something right away.

For the first few days, there were days when I could think of nothing.

Days when nothing came to mind are usually days with many unseen places.

So I didn’t leave the blanks; I wrote that I hadn’t yet explored them.

Leaving a note helps distinguish it when you reread later.

? I didn’t need to write the reasons why I didn’t understand. Pointing to the place was enough。

Example: 【Hold: I don’t know how far the hold continues】

? How to proceed after writing Hold

What you do after writing is divided into two parts.

Whether that Hold affects your current decision or not.

If it doesn’t affect, you can enter with it left as is.

If it does affect, you close for that day.

For example, when the place you’re about to finish is near an unknown part.

If you don’t know that, you can’t decide the exit itself.

A turn where the exit isn’t decided will always leave you puzzled after entering.

A puzzled turn cannot be used as a record whether you win or lose.

【Hold: You can’t read just ahead of the exit / therefore close today】, and it will be recorded.

Even days that you closed, the record remains, so you can count later.

When you count, the reasons for closing tend to converge on the same words.

As they converge, that becomes your hole.

? If you don’t know near the exit, you close. If the exit isn’t decided, you will inevitably get lost。

Example: 【Hold: You can’t read just ahead of the exit / therefore close today】

⚠ Do not try to zero Hold

At first, I stumbled here once.

When Hold exists, you want to fill it in.

I tried to investigate and make it understandable before entering.

As a result, the number of times I entered drastically decreased.

It wasn’t just a decrease; the fatigue was severe.

I kept researching in front of the screen, and days of not entering followed.

Here I changed my thinking.

Hold is not to be zeroed, but to be kept in a visible state.

Unknown parts remain somewhere at any time.

The fact that they remain is normal, isn’t it?

The problem was entering without realizing they remained.

⚠ Hold is not to be zeroed, it is to be kept visible。

Unknown parts will always remain. The problem is not realizing that they remain.

? If the same Hold appears three times, investigate it

When you write every day, the same words appear many times.

If it appears three times, I decided to create a week to investigate it.

Investigating isn’t in front of the screen, but during market closure times.

In front of the screen, you’ll want to enter while investigating.

In my case, the first three-in-a-row occurred on the destination mentioned above.

I wrote that I didn’t know how far it would go each time.

I laid out past scenarios on the weekend and looked only at those.

I didn’t understand everything. Honestly, I still don’t understand.

However, the method for handling uncertainties was decided.

I’ve been narrowing the width when I don’t understand.

Becoming able to understand and being able to handle something are different things.

? Becoming able to understand and being able to handle are different things。

Investigating isn’t in front of the screen, but during market closure times.

✔ On days with many Holds, reduce the quantity

I also have a rule based on numbers.

If there are two or more Holds written that day, decrease the quantity.

If there are three or more, don’t enter at all.

Deciding by quantity rather than quality avoids constant fluctuations.

These Holds can be heavy or light, and that kind of judgment can ruin things.

If it’s only quantity, the same result remains when looked back later.

【Hold two / therefore quantity is half of usual】This form remains.

From the beginning, I realized that on days I’m confident, I have fewer Holds.

Rather, on days I’m confident, I avoid Holds altogether.

If you constrain by number, you can’t take shortcuts.

Because you can’t take shortcuts, the days you’re heavily influenced have decreased.

✔ Deciding by heavy or light causes fluctuations. If only by number, the result remains the same when viewed later。

Example: 【Hold two / therefore quantity is half of usual】

❌ Don’t wait until you know everything to act on uncertain things

I’ll also write the opposite failure.

If you develop a habit of Hold, you’ll reach a period where you wait too long.

You begin to think you should have everything in place before entering.

But there are very few scenes where everything lines up.

When you feel you’ve got it, usually the motion is already finished.

So I allow myself to enter even with Hold present.

The condition for allowing it is only that Hold does not affect the exit.

If it doesn’t affect, you may hold it without understanding.

If you tighten this too much, you’ll end up not entering at all.

If you go without entering for a long period, records won’t accumulate.

If nothing accumulates, you won’t see your own hole for a long time.

❌ Almost never does a scene with everything lined up come. When it does, usually after the motion has finished。

There is only one condition under which you may enter even with a Hold: that Hold must not relate to the exit.

? The way you write changes the quality of doubts

Even the same uncertainty changes in usability depending on how you write it.

If you write, “I’m somehow uneasy,” nothing will be understood later.

Unease is a feeling, and it doesn’t point to a place.

What you point to are the place and what you don’t understand there.

If those two are included, even a short one line is sufficient.

Also, writing that you don’t understand is not a loss.

On the contrary, assuming you understand is much more dangerous.

In the turn where you think you understand, there’s no trace of checking left.

If there’s no trace, it won’t become material even when you reread next month.

If you write, it becomes material; if you don’t write, it disappears.

Just a one-line difference, after two months, makes a clear gap.

? Writing “don’t understand” isn’t a loss. It’s safer than assuming you understand。

Instead of just writing uncertainty, write both the place and the unknown content there.

? Tools don’t tell you what you don’t understand

A tool that lists candidates greatly reduces the time you spend searching.

I use it too, and the morning burden has eased.

But the most important part of today’s discussion lies outside the tool.

What you don’t understand cannot be seen from outside.

Moreover, when you put in a tool, this part becomes harder to see.

When candidates are visible, you feel you’ve finished researching.

What you see and what you verify are two different things.

Therefore in the week you use tools, you must always fill in the Hold column.

When you fill it in, even on days with display, Holds remain normally.

It’s normal for them to remain, and you decide the quantity based on that.

Visibility and the amount you know are separate matters.

? Even on days with displays, Holds remain as normal. That’s normal。

In weeks you’ve introduced tools, always fill in the Hold column. It becomes harder to see otherwise.

⭕ If this writing method doesn’t suit you

Finally, I’ll also write what doesn’t fit.

For people who enter dozens of times a day, writing every time isn’t realistic.

In that case, I think it’s better to write only when you increase the quantity.

Also, it’s unnecessary for those who decide to enter mechanically only under certain conditions.

If you have a design that doesn’t mix unknown parts into the decision, you don’t need the Hold column.

This writing method works best when you are most off the mark on the days you had confidence.

That’s exactly where I had been unable to break through for a long time.

If I changed the numbers right from the start, it wasn’t that.

The first change was in how I received it when I failed.

It stopped ending with luck being the reason.

Because it didn’t end, I started to determine what to fix in the next attempt.

⭕ The first change was not the number, but how I handled a failed turn。

Unsuitable for: People who enter dozens of times a day or those who decide to enter mechanically based on conditions

? Summary: Leave one line for what you don’t understand

The half that was correct was half of the screen, and what moved came from the part I hadn’t looked at.

Therefore, I left this one line: 【Hold: I don’t know how far the hold continues】. Calling something that came from an unseen place luck was, after all, a stretch.

The writing is simple: add one unknown column to your pre-entry notes.

If that hold affects the exit, you close for that day. If the exit isn’t decided, you will definitely hesitate after entering.

If you have two holds, reduce quantity; if you have three or more, don’t enter. Deciding by quantity instead of weight prevents fluctuation.

If the same Hold appears three times, investigate during the market’s close. Even if you don’t become able to understand, you can still determine how to handle it.

If you tend to miss badly on days you were confident, try adding one unknown line to the Hold column^^
