"A column is currently published on Toyo Keizai ONLINE! Doing things in a gritty, hands-on way leads to profits."

Good morning, this is Matsushita.

Yesterday, for the first time in two years,

we held the 3rd Personal Investor Support Thanksgiving Festival.

Combining investment seminars and workshops

for a total of more than five hours, even in the stagnant domestic stock and FX markets,

enthusiastic investors engaged in heated discussions,

and it ended in great popularity in no time.

I would like to share the things the participants learned

and their impressions from yesterday's event.

Do the obvious things properly.

(I wondered whether some filter or something had been added,

and imagined it on my own,)

but I was struck again when I heard that they simply kept doing it without changing the method.

Mr. Inogari's personality is wonderful, and truly

I wanted to use him as a role model.

Mr. Son-chan

Conduct backtesting and build a self that cannot be defeated.

See it through to the end.

To win in trading, 99% of the effort is invisible

and required.

Mr. Fuku

Establish your own trading rules based on backtesting

When the trading point comes, you should already be in a winning state before you act.

Enduring drawdowns is also important.

Matsushita-san and Inogari-san's real voices being heard was

the best part for me.　　M&M

I learned the importance of backtesting and adhering to rules.

Self-research and discovery are essential, aren't they?

As for the future, it gave me a lot to think about and

became a good opportunity.　　　　　　Y

Clear rules that can be expressed in words.

Backtesting with 1% risk.

I thought I understood and could do it,

but I was much too lax.

From today I will work hard and persistently.　　　　　　　Mr. Suzuki

Thank you all very much.

At yesterday's event, we actually had Mr. Inogari, a graduate of Makoto Investment School and ordinary company employee,

explain how he rose from six years of losing investments,

achieved profits for three consecutive years, and

set new records for highest profits,

and now this year has achieved a +30% profit thus far,

and showed all of this in person as you listened to his story.

For the participants, his姿was so different from the idea of a winning investor that

they were surprised,

I think.

There was a question that encapsulated this, so I will introduce it.

“What kind of people are the investors who actually continue to make profits in the FX market?

Is it people who have six screens on their desk and

are actively day-trading during the day?”

A participant asked this, so

I answered slowly and carefully,

“About 90% of those people will eventually disappear from the market.

Truly profitable investors are right in front of you.

Mr. Inogari does not trade 6 screens for long hours of day trading on

a single computer, and

for the past two and a half years, has been making a profit.

Readers of this newsletter come from diverse backgrounds—employees, housewives,

retirees approaching investments, and so on.

Nevertheless, none of them devote most of their daily time to trading;

they integrate investing into a relaxed lifestyle and aim to profit throughout life.

One example of that姿 is

mr. Inogari, who served as a guest lecturer yesterday.

He will continue to think for himself,

test and practice the, his favorite trading rules,

and keep earning profits.

That is a joy and sense of achievement beyond merely earning profits and increasing money.

And though he was just an ordinary company employee,

after six years of losing, he transformed into a consistently winning investor.

To all the participants in yesterday's venue,

“The next Mr. Inogari is you. Study well, test, and

please make a profit next year.”

I told them this publicly.

I would like to give you the same words.

Even if you have suffered losses up to now,

and have been beaten, if you learn, test,

and continue to practice, you can change that.

To do so, continuing the same actions as before will not bring change.

Change your actions in some way and turn the current losses

into profits.

Persist in simple, ordinary actions, and make them ordinary

so that they lead to profits.

ps

At yesterday's event, there was especially a great interest and impact in creating rules and

carrying out backtesting.

However, most people,

before creating rules or before conducting backtests,

need to first learn the basics and theories of investing.

I told yesterday's participants too,

everyone here lacks knowledge in almost everything.

Otherwise, they cannot even think about rules, and backtesting remains a dream.

First, please learn!

The discussion can come after that.
