Trade should strive for perfection

Trading is said to fail if you seek perfection, but that is not the case

In theory, you won’t grow unless you don’t seek perfection in the first place

What’s important is simply to minimize elements that cause losses like averaging down as much as possible

Seeking perfection isn’t bad; what’s important is to systematize it into a theory

Trades that are said to be perfect

Trend reversal and averaging down—this is what I think the trading logic is about

In the end, in the market you have to wait like a snail for time to pass

・you won’t know when the market shifts

・you won’t know if the direction is correct in the first place

(so, the image is that when you don’t know the direction you’re averaging down or reversing; results end up losing)

If you can’t believe this,

you’ll understand by adding a pips-interval indicator and a time-interval indicator

you’ll inevitably notice the importance of time and price

and then, eventually you settle on waiting three hours or

trading after waiting for the right time

because that’s still more efficient

Breakouts and follow-ups aren’t that different

During the times you don’t know the direction,

most entries are breaks or follow-ups

So, if you’re trading that way, it’s better to use automated trading entries

If you dislike waiting for time

then trading must add meaning

Then again

It tends to be trend-following or momentum-trading type

If you only do averaging-down, as a contrarian you’ll just lose, as the pips indicator shows

Averaging-down

Is more efficient to do 1 down and pyramid

You have no choice but to wait for time and then re-check the trade

So it’s better to be part-time than full-time

Also, since momentum trading ultimately means “believing in one side,”

naturally it won’t tilt toward profit

This is optimal for momentum trading

Even by looking at the market with the Envelopes + Williams%R combination, you can see it

Whether gold or the GBP/JPY,

the market will produce favorable momentum signals depending on market conditions

For example, recently with gold

If you use the simple momentum signal of Envelopes + Williams%

after nearly 30 losses

about 5 positions have around 30–40 wins

so effectively +150 to +200

If until then you were at about -30 to -50,

it seems like a quite profitable logic

However, looking at the previous market, such big trends are rare

In the end you have to trade by believing in the trend

There was a time when scalping trend following was good, but

Ultimately what you’re doing is

holding positions for profits in this trend market

Only by aiming for initial breakouts, initial follow-ups, or reversal points

can you aim

Moreover, no matter how much the market version changes

these three things will eternally appear

Therefore, the idea of following the trend is correct

The idea of a trend is also correct

The question is whether you can truly continue trading until that trend appears

So ultimately, aiming for market reversals

waiting for time and trading is becoming the safe approach

Is reverse-martingale meaningful

Reverse martingale

If you do 2:1, two consecutive wins yield +8

It becomes meaningful when combined with range and staircase trades

The most suitable trading logic for trends

Envelope

Williams

Both 25

Envelope width is 0.03

That’s all

Then wait one hour, and if a trend appears, leave one position in that direction; that’s all
