Week 38 of 2026 NASDAQ—Before climbing, step down; what I saw in the moment I panicked.

Before the growth, I held it.
Where it is growing, there is nothing.

When I laid out a week’s chart and results, my own habits became hilariously clear.

This week, it surged from Monday. Yet I didn’t ride at the crucial moment. And after chasing “more, more,” that same screw-up happened again.

There’s no point showing only the good parts, so I’m going to dump everything this week as well. This is for my growth, too.

Last week, as you can see, it exploded from Monday. On Tuesday, there was a shallow pullback, but it then made a new high.

Ultimately (f) was,a form where the weekly high E, 30,776.28, is made with a wick.

From Thursday, there was a movement to take a pullback. After touching the long-term high, buying power regained the lead, and a strong uptrend developed on the short-term chart.

So what was I doing in that environment? From here I will review my entire record with the 15-minute chart as well.

Looking at it this way, my trading was so...all finished before it grewthat it’s obvious, lol

I held positions before the growth. Yet where it was growing, there was nothing at all, perfectly clean. It’s a bit embarrassing, isn’t it?

I say “look at the trees, look at the forest,” but in that sense I probably still don’t see it clearly, lol

But I will dump all of that, too. Even if I pretend I don’t see what I can’t do, that won’t help growth.

On Tuesday, after a shallow pullback, it again made a new high.

The market kept rising Monday and Tuesday. The stress of not riding that rise began to quietly affect me the next day.

Wednesday, I messed up.

This week, by some chance, I could return to being a full-time trader. And what surfaced was the feeling of “I want to make money somehow.” Also, a vicious cycle from the sense of urgency began again.

Then the stress from not riding Monday-Tuesday’s rally piled on.“More, more”was triggered.

Worst case, I’d come back from this low and recover…

With that sense, I made an entry that was irrelevant to UT’s proposed trades. This is something I’ve felt many times until today.

Now it’s largely calmed down, but I’ll make this the last time. Even though I understand UT, if this action eats up a whole week, my chances of success will seriously fade.

In my case, this screw-up started from 100% psychology. But that psychology acting is part of the game.

So then,when is that psychology most likely to activate? In what situations does it actually translate into action?

Organizing those situations finally clicked for me.

…And, surprisingly, I did it again the next day.

I shorted near the Dow’s high around the decline from f.

Of course, it wasn’t aiming for “drop everything from here.” It was a trade meant to ride the profit-taking of the buyers with me.

The risk was taken much lower than the day before. Even in the worst case, it would hurt only a little.

Still, when I review properly like this, there’s something I can see.

“Sure, that seems like the right outcome many times.” ButI haven’t tested that, have I?

Moreover, the proponent of UT says not to trade against UT, right?

From today, I’ll stop. Like quitting smoking, I’ll stop this too.

…Oh, isn’t that the same? Quitting smoking is hard, but this may be similar in some ways.

Even though I want to quit, in the same situation I reach for it again.Could this behavior be close to an addiction?

When I tell AI about these interesting realizations, odd things often happen. A little hope.

There is more to this story.

The casual note from Thursday’s reflection,
“Like quitting smoking, I’ll quit this too.”

Showed this sentence to GPT, and it latched onto something odd.

“On Thursday, it becomes a ‘rational-looking smoking’.”

From there, it became a discussion about expected value.
It became about experience.
It became about contrarian thinking.

And in the end,
“What is discretion in UT, in the first place?”
That’s where the discussion leaped to.

Another reflection born from weekly reviews.

‘I was answering on my own even though the chart said nothing.’

A day that wasn’t great. Well, anyway… I just have to keep going.

One thing I can say, though.

In the past, I entered without knowing left from right, thinking “Isn’t that right?” But even the same “Isn’t that right?” now has a much stronger basis than before.That’s the strength of the evidence now compared to then.

While repeating such trades, when I was working, I still managed to keep about 300,000 yen in monthly profit, which is a big growth for me.

Now I’ll push hard this week as well. Please support me?

Add the five days to total ＋114,817 yen. Leaving the numbers and this week’s execution review together.

By the way, I had GPT Astra compute things like win rate, and at the very end, it came back with this:

“For the entire period27 trading days, 21 wins, 6 losses. The reported P/L and max drawdown were verified. Also, the account type in the file was a demo account.”

※ This refers not only to this week but to the entire period Astra aggregated.
