The reason I invest in "hands-off" investing through automated trading [Kazuo Sato]

Many traders trade on discretion, but there is growing attention on automated trading that operates 24 hours without human mental intervention. This time, we will have Kazuo Sato, a famous investor and blogger, share the advantages of automated trading that he has learned from his own experiences.

Losing 3 million yen but returning to FX with automated trading

Hello, I’m Kazuo Sato. I engage in investments aiming for swap points in high-yield currency pairs such as the Turkish lira/yen and the Mexican peso/yen, as well as trading via automated trading. I also write about these methods and settings on my blog to document my life.

I quit the company I had been working for in July of this year, so I am in a so-called semi-retired state. This time I will explain why I am doing “hands-off investment” through automated trading.

In the last issue, I wrote about the historical shock experience (Lehman Shock). After losing 3 million yen in the Lehman Shock, I left the FX world and vowed not to touch FX again, choosing to work a regular job to live prudently. I focused on not giving attention to women (I was not approached), and because of that effort, the 3 million yen loss was recovered and I gained a certain amount of financial cushion.
