"Featured in Toyo Keizai ONLINE as a column!" It was a big takeaway unique to the school.
Good morning, this is Matsushita.
Yesterday, Makoto Investment School
held the Stock Investment Trading Techniques Mastery Course and
the Trade Research Meeting.
Both schools,
each participant grows significantly and
steadily moves closer to profit.
In the Stock Investment Trading Techniques Mastery Course,
we have taught moving averages and RSI as representative technical indicators,
and we would like to share participants' impressions.
Until now, I understood the relationship between moving averages
and stock prices, which I had taken for granted, through the teacher's explanations.
I also learned the importance of recognizing the environment over long periods,
daily charts, weekly charts, and monthly charts.
Until now, I had entered trades based on the expectation that prices would rise,
which was a big mistake,
and by having my own entry criteria and looking for securities that meet those criteria,
to \"target\" them, that phrase from the teacher lingered in my mind.
When the teacher asked, “Why did you sell in an uptrend for ○○?”
I answered,
“Because I thought 3000 yen would act as a wall and I couldn’t break through.”
“Then when it reached 3010 yen, I realized I was wrong, and I had to cut my losses….
There were clear reasons for selling.”
From this exchange with the teacher, I was surprised to be able to describe the reason for selling myself. The reason for selling was inside me. I had been overly focused on unrealized losses and neglected what I needed to do,
and I realized that I had lost sight of what I must do. It was a big takeaway that you cannot get from YouTube videos,
a live-school experience.
Thank you very much.
Mr. Fuku
Mr. Fuku, thank you very much.
Indeed, perhaps you are right.
Investors initially approach investing with some reasons, but as soon as you buy and the profits and losses start moving,
your eyes and heart are seized, your mind becomes full, and your subsequent actions
are driven by emotion, and you cannot control yourself.
But in cases like this example, if you sell for a reason such as “○○,”
and it becomes “not ○○ anymore,”
the rationale and edge for entry collapse,
so the trade loses meaning,
you must settle and move on to the next trade.
If you rely on your emotions to act,
money will only decrease.
And to realize this, as taught yesterday in the school,
“Write the reasons for buying and selling in a notebook or investment journal”
=“the act of moving your hands” is necessary.
Yesterday in the school, I emphasized this act of moving your hands
and told everyone to practice it strongly.
Read books, write an investment diary,
note down your investment challenges in a notebook,
record daily market observations and trades in the investment diary,
document the results of past verifications in a notebook, and enter them into Excel.
All of these are acts of moving your hands.
Investing wins by those who move their hands
and take action.
Those who do not move their hands and only watch with their eyes,
only think in their heads,
will eventually lose.
In yesterday’s class, the participants spent about two and a half hours
continuously moving their hands, and I wrote down my teachings in their notebooks.
Transcribing my teachings onto paper was
an act of writing that is hardly done in daily life and
a steady path to profits.
After you finish reading this article,
please move your hands and do something, anything.
Continuing this practice will bring you profits.
ps
Tomorrow is already November, and the year’s end is approaching.
Those who understand the importance of moving their hands,
should first start by “writing an investment diary.”
This is the first step toward profits.
The investment diary I developed, which directly connects to the power of investing,can be purchased from this page.
