Practical Theory for “Swimming” Through Price Movements
The expression "swim" shown in the title feels like a perfect match for responding to price movements.
To be precise, imagine swimming in a sea where the waves are lapping gently.
When the waves are just a little bigger, chunks of water hit your face. Sometimes there is a smooth boost in the direction you want to go, and other times you are pushed strongly in the opposite direction. These changes do not come as you forecast; they arrive suddenly.
But by absorbing these various changes well and proceeding steadily without getting too tired, of course without nearly drowning, you can continue step by step.
I want to apply this feeling directly to the market!
・It’s possible to improve win rate
・However, high win rate does not allow you to widen profit margins as a rule
・A method to achieve consistent profits with a high win rate is quite special

・Move out at a certain frequency and accept “hits and misses”
・To do that, position management is important
Many ordinary individual investors are too fixated on “hitting the target.”
The desire to “hit” is necessary for serious forecasting, but in line with the reality that “the forecast can be wrong” and “a string of losses can be unbearable,” the rightful approach of a trader is to consider how to respond as a player.
When this mindset arises, the importance, or rather the ranking, of “prediction” changes. From being pressed by the compulsive idea that “it must be correct!” and the despair when it’s wrong, to“Is prediction only a trigger for action?”to a relatively easy image like that, the mindset shifts.
Because money is involved, we must be serious.
But even if you furrow your brow and think hard, you won’t know tomorrow’s price.
Then, by relaxing your muscles moderately and having room for a small smile, you should be able to fully demonstrate your ability as a practitioner.
Prediction is only the trigger to start trading──。
The right answer is to form a natural mindset with natural thinking.
