【FX×Cognitive Science】The "Three Despairs" That Visit Right Before Winning and a Sincere Approach to the Market✨
Hello, I am oukanoakari (All-Might)✨
To everyone tackling FX, are you honestly facing the charts today as well?
Suddenly, are you currently hitting an invisible wall and suffering?
“Even though I’m learning many things, I don’t feel like I can win…” “I keep chasing methods (the holy grail), and my mind keeps wobbling…”
Actually today, I watched a YouTube video and was struck as if struck by lightning⚡️
Because the thoughts I have valued for a long time and the philosophy of trading were beautifully verbalized, and I deeply, deeply resonated with them.
I, too, used to be full of failures. I pride myself on my strength as an “overwhelming ability to wait,” but on the flip side, my natural “perfectionism” gets in the way, and sometimes I’ve been late on stop-loss and burned myself…? (Just recalling it hurts my chest. lol)
But after watching this video, I became convinced. The walls and despair we suffer in FX are actually ‘signs right before becoming a profitable trader’!✨
Today, I will translate the wonderful wisdom from this YouTube (habits and neuroscience perspectives) into a highly practical FX trading situation and deliver it to you.
? Fusion 1: Suddenly losing motivation ➔ FX’s “waiting pain and habit formation”
One of the signs discussed in the video. It is that “when success gets close, the subconscious tries to maintain the status quo and suddenly steals your motivation.”
When you start FX, everyone is motivated. But as you repeat the boring task of waiting for an advantageous point in day trading or the 4-hour chart…
“Is this rule really okay?” “I’m about to get the ‘urge to press buy/sell’… I’ll just enter randomly!”
There will come a time when following the rules becomes a hassle.
This isn’t because your will is weak❌ The brain’s “subconscious” is the last resistance trying to pull you back to the losing side while you try to become a winning trader ??
Because I have watched 28 currencies plus gold and made “waiting” my strength, I can say this. When you think, “Oh, I might break the rules now. I might skip verification,” congratulations?
That’s a sign that you’re about to become a genuine trader!✨
? Fusion 2: Suddenly losing confidence ➔ FX’s “perfectionism and chasing the holy grail” trap
The second sign is that “as knowledge increases, you underestimate yourself and lose confidence (Dunning-Kruger effect).”
“In the beginner days I could win by beginner’s luck, but once I started studying, I couldn’t win at all…” This is FX common, isn’t it?
The more you learn indicators, learn money management, and understand market depths, the more you confront your immaturity and lose confidence.
And because you seek the “perfect trade,” you can’t endure even a small drawdown, perfectionism activates and you end up delaying stop-loss… (This was my biggest weakness in the past?)
But as the video clearly said, losing confidence is evidence that you have grown enough to view your trades from a higher perspective with more objective eyes ✨?
When you feel you’re losing confidence and about to chase the holy grail, please genuinely praise the trade notes you have built and the experiences you could patiently wait for.
? Fusion 3: Facing difficult problems ➔ FX’s “stop-loss as the final boss”
And the third sign. It is that “as the brain’s filter (RAS) becomes more precise, the wall you couldn’t see just before the goal suddenly becomes visible.”
Just before you start winning, you will encounter a wall that you simply cannot overcome. For me, that was “thorough stop-loss.”
You can wait. You’re good at analysis as well. But when the market goes against you, your ego to win perfectly gets in the way and you hesitate to stop loss. “I’m not capable of this kind of mental control…” and I despaired many times.
But the words in the video saved me. “What you couldn’t see before has become visible only because you have grown to a level where you can see it. The boss is nearby because the enemy is strong.”?✨
If you are currently facing difficult tasks like money management, stop-loss, or chasing after positions and suffering, that is a strong sign that your goal is right in front of you?
? Don’t turn the market into a casino. To you who face it with integrity
Why am I so passionate about this today? Because I have an uncompromising “mission” I must uphold.
“I want to increase traders who face the market honestly, without turning it into a casino (gambling).”
FX is not a gamble to strike it rich in one go. It is a utterly honest business where only those who face their heart (brain mechanisms), habituate rules, and patiently wait survive. ✨
I myself have repeated painful failures of delaying stop-loss due to perfectionism. But each time I faced my weaknesses with integrity, I spent years honing the strength of simply waiting within the charts of 29 currencies.
That’s why I want to tell you who are struggling now. The pain and despair are proof that you are seriously facing the market with integrity, aren’t they?
Please do not give up!
✨ In closing
How was it? The YouTube wisdom on neuroscience and habit formation directly connects to FX as a business, doesn’t it?
From today, when you open a chart and think, “I lack confidence,” “I have no motivation,” or “the wall is too high,” please remember today’s discussion. It is all a signal of [preparation for success], so sparkle ✨
From now on, I will continue to share ways of facing the market with integrity and my raw, real experiences.
“I want to face the market more honestly!” “I want to know more of All-Mighty’s other approaches!”
