Important things in FX trading
I think you should firmly maintain that Denken (strategic thinking) is essential
Because it becomes the potential to "respond" to whatever market conditions come
Trades that are 0 or 100
In cases like long-term holding buys that align with the stock's future value, such as bottom fishing in stocks, it makes sense, but
In markets like FX, which are often described as a "virtual system" market
Trading with a 0 or 100 mindset is extremely dangerous
Identify noise within 0–100
and courageously cut losses
That kind of perspective is necessary
I think you can understand this by looking at past markets
FX has the highest liquidity and the most complex market movements
Rather than complex, they tend to move in a seemingly "random faithfully"
In reality, such movements are often embedded in the market
And they also change over time; sometimes mid-way, and in various ways
Please understand that in FX there is no absolute in the market that always functions
FX has Dow Theory as useful, but it forms a Dow Theory that changes the幅 (range) of Dow Theory
Trade according to the Dow Theory you think
↓
That Dow Theory does not function at all

Later, in the subsequent market, it was formed as the next bar's Dow Theory
such things
There are also deceptive patterns like flag shapes
There are trades with an edge in FX, but
There is actually no trade with a true edge
If there were an edge, everyone would be profitable
So, the edge in FX is
a trading method whose results grow or shrink depending on that logic
In reality
Nampin (averaging down) can be usable, but some people cannot use it effectively
Some are good at simply following trends, while others are not suited at all
In the end, it comes down to individual judgment and analytical thinking
Make losses and take profits, and continue producing results by making it a routine
That requires taking risks; hence the existence of stop losses
A stop loss is a commitment to cut losses, but it cannot respond to sudden movements
Even so, adding stop losses as a way to manage risk is acceptable
In reality, you can trade without stop losses
and take risks by adjusting lot sizes according to your capital
In the end, what we are trying to do is nothing but "increase or decrease"
The market movement, which is the price movement, brings about those increases or decreases
Therefore timing is important
And that timing means acting earlier reduces risk
As a result, some people had smaller losses due to stop losses, while others couldn't recover because too many losses prevented profit
Reasons to use averaging down
Market restoration (the market returning to the level you expected)
Reduction of losses
And so on
Using averaging down is done for a reason, right?
We use averaging down for that reason and cut losses for that reason
It's always a game of give-and-take
And the market should not be considered as 0 or 100
The market exists between 0 and 100
Within that 0–100 range, you cut losses and take profits while increasing capital in the market
I don't know which way the current market will move
But if you think the market trends downward
then
Hold a short position and a hedged position (short with less than half the lot size)
If it turns bearish and you think it's a temporary peak, take profits
Then, if possible, unwind the hedged position to a single short position and buy the dips
Using hedges like this can be good
Ultimately, FX hinges on applying logic and trading strategies to the market
