【Forward Inhibition Trap】The longer you study FX on your own, the more the old rules intrude into the procedures when learning new patterns

Even though you’ve just started learning a new method, you find yourself checking the lines and oscillators you used before. Haven’t you had such an experience?

There is a term in psychology called "proactive inhibition" (順向抑制).
It is the phenomenon where what you learned earlier interferes with recalling what you learned later. People who have studied FX on their own for a long time may be more susceptible to this influence.

Old rules don’t disappear; they intrude

For example, in a new model you only need to confirm the conditions at a predetermined time, yet your hand starts drawing a horizontal line on its own. Or after deciding where to place a stop loss, you feel like shifting a little below the previous low due to old habits. Even though the person thinks they are trading with the new model, old rules have crept into various parts of the procedure.

The longer you studied alone, the more knowledge you’ve learned, and the more intrusions are likely to occur. That’s proof of how hard you’ve worked, so I don’t think you should blame yourself. However, even if you look at the results with mixed old rules, it becomes harder to judge whether the new model suits you.

The style of Investment Skill Share doesn’t create a place for old procedures

Investment Skill Share conveys all the entry, take-profit, and stop-loss patterns of the discretionary FX method developed over eight years. It’s a style where you only monitor during specific time periods, so there is little room to bring out old analyses from the start.

The procedures are consolidated into a single full-method manual. In addition, with a buyer-only talkroom and one-on-one online coaching, you can check together whether old habits have mixed in. As a bonus, all signs tools and indicators are included with unlimited use for one account each.

This method’s rules show the profit-and-loss progression when trading with an initial margin of 1,000,000 yen. We include two leverage settings: 25x and 1,000x.

You don’t have to force yourself to discard old knowledge

To face proactive inhibition, it is said that rather than trying to forcibly forget old knowledge, it’s better to repeatedly trace the new procedures in the same order. If recalling becomes easier with the new procedure, there is less room for old rules to intrude. Check the same time, in the same order, the same conditions. Repeating this strengthens the path of the new model.

If there are days when old rules mix in, I think you don’t need to get too down on yourself. Just write down in one line where the old rules surfaced and bring it to the next confirmation time. How about starting with such small, incremental steps?
