Fix the three decision factors for “not entering for three different reasons each time”

When I lined up three days of memos about the days I skipped, the reasons varied each time.

Monday was “somehow early,” Tuesday was “the form is messy,” and Wednesday was “I’m not in the mood today.”

None of them were lies, but when lined up, nothing could be compared, you know (;'∀')

Good evening!

This is Masashi^^

This time, I’m talking about writing the same three columns for the reasons you don’t enter every time.

Rather than increasing the number of materials, I’ll fix the viewing columns first.

The reasons for not entering are chosen from the same three columns each time.

? If the words for the reasons change every time, nothing will remain for the next week

Leaving, in itself, isn’t a bad judgment.

What’s troublesome is that the words describing the reasons change with your mood each day.

When you look back later, there were days when “the form is messy” and days when you wrote “early” and they were almost the same situation.

If the words aren’t aligned, you can’t even tell if it’s the same scene.

When I was younger, I used to write daily impressions in a notebook.

When I reread them, my mood talks were more common than market talks haha

Record example: 【Monday: somehow early / Tuesday: the form is messy / Wednesday: not in the mood】

? The three columns are “Location, Reaction, Exit point”

So I fixed the decision material to three.

The current location, whether price movement reacted there, and where to exit if the assumption was wrong.

When you skip, just write which of these three was open.

For example, “the form is messy” is often a way of saying “there’s no visible reaction yet.”

If you replace the mood words with the column names, you can line up three days of memos side by side for the first time.

You write the reason for skipping with the name of the open column.

Record example: 【Location: can write / Reaction: not yet / Exit point: can write → skip】

? When only the exit point is open, and fingers hover over the order night

A while ago, the Location and Reaction columns filled quickly.

But the exit point just wouldn’t settle.

While I was hesitating, the price moved, and my finger rested on the order button.

If I had entered here, even if it ended in profit, I wouldn’t have been able to explain what I was trying to confirm by entering.

That day I didn’t enter, and I closed with {Exit point: cannot be decided, price moved} only.

Reading it the next morning, what stood out more than the previous night’s urgency was which column was missing.

If one column was still open, you don’t place an order even if the price is moving.

⚠ What happens on days you want to add more columns

When losses pile up, you’ll want to add a fourth or fifth column.

But the more columns you add, the less likely all of them will be filled on any given day.

Then you’ll start thinking, “Since all three are there, it’s okay,” and you’re prone to ignoring the open columns.

You end up adding columns but end up not being able to adhere to any of them.

When you feel like adding columns, what do you do?

In my case, I write the items I want to add on a separate memo and let them sit until the weekend.

Don’t adopt the items you want to add on the spot; let them rest until the weekend.

✅ How to use the three columns

Before opening the chart, place a sheet with only the three columns written out beside it.

Before placing the orders, fill from the top in order, and if any one is open, you won’t enter that day.

It’s okay not to overthink whether what you filled in is correct on the spot.

For the first week, just follow not entering when a column is open and empty.

Putting it on paper is because if you place it on the same screen as the order page, it’s easy to miss a column if you skip over it.

Just shifting your gaze outside the chart gives you a moment of pause for your finger to stop.

What to put in each column and what to call a location are covered in GOLD’s special medicine in order.

Here, I’ll leave it at fixing the columns to three, okay ^^

What to look for is not whether you wrote the correct answers, but whether you placed orders with remaining blanks.

❌ Do not rewrite the column after seeing the results

If the price climbs after you skip, you’ll want to rewrite it as “there was a reaction.”

But if the reaction wasn’t visible at that time, leaving it as blank is the correct record.

Later-filled columns will become the least reliable data for your future self.

If it rose, you can write it in the results column separately.

Do not fill in the blanks from back then later.

? After a week, count the open columns

On the weekend, count the number of blanks you skipped, column by column.

If “Reaction” is always open, perhaps your waiting-start time is too early.

If “Exit point” tends to be open, you may not be preparing enough before entering.

Both are biases that weren’t apparent when you only used mood words!

Next week, only target the most frequent open column.

Record example: 【This week, many blanks in the Reaction → Next week, decide the waiting start time first】

? Who GOLD’s special medicine suits and who it doesn’t

GOLD’s special medicine is a teaching material created to check, in the same order, the places to watch, the reasons to wait, and the exit points in GOLD.

If you’re someone who gets stuck deciding “how to fill the columns,” this will be a useful comparison.

Conversely, if you just want to know where to enter to win, this isn’t for you.

The effort to verify the column contents in your own chart remains even after reading the material.

The material is a source of ideas for filling the columns, not a substitute for filling blanks.

? What to try from the next skip

Next time you skip, circle only which of the three columns was open before writing the reason.

Then you can briefly add a sentence afterward.

After three days, compare with the first three days’ memos.

Only the writer can know how much the mood words have decreased, I think ^^
