A column currently published on Toyo Keizai ONLINE: Price movement = the chart always takes the same shape.

Good morning, this is Matsushita.

The day after tomorrow marks the開催日 for Makoto Investment School's

Stock and FX trading techniques mastery course.

This is the fourth day, and the FX school

will be the final day.

Through this course, what we teach about trading techniques is

to create your own trading shape and profit shape.

Investors who make profits do not profit from a variety of price movements

by changing with every movement; they profit by the same movements each time.

This is the so-called "winning pattern."

Investors who incur losses misunderstand this point,

and think they can profit by flexibly 대응ing to various price movements in front of them at any given time.

They believe that profits come from adapting to each moment's fluctuations.

That is not correct.

Among them, there are prodigies,

but actually profitable investors

watch closely for their own winning pattern,

and wait for the opportunity.

That is their trading shape,

their profit shape.

In investing, deciding your trading shape

and profit shape

is surprisingly simple.

Because we always look at price movements on charts.

Decide the shape in which you will profit

within the chart.

To realize that trading,

learn and practice the indicators and theories.

This is the trading rules.

In fact, price movements and charts

always take the same shapes.

In the United States, where there are many fervent fans,

the Elliott Wave Principle

is even said to have the form always the same.

For me, who studied the Meriman cycle theory,

price movements tend to fall into a few patterns.

In any case, price movements and charts always take the same shapes.

This was also true when I started investing in 2001,

and remains true today in 2017.

The crash of the Lehman Brothers,

the rapid rise from Abenomics,

are nothing more than parts of the same shapes.

Once you realize this,

you too can determine your own trading shape and profit shape

within the same price-movement patterns.

The starting point of trading technique

is from there.

Price movements and charts always take the same shapes.

Deepen your understanding to that extent,

and determine your own profit shape.

If price movements are always the same, you will always

be able to profit.
