FX stops rushing when you think about the future
The Importance of Imagining a Winning Trade
When I first started FX, I had no image of how to profit from trading.
I didn't have any idea at all about how to make profits in trades.
I changed trading methods one after another and even failed to cut losses at the predetermined point,
engaging in chaotic trading.
Because I had no image of winning, I couldn't stick to my trading rules.
From these past experiences, I feel it is extremely important to clearly imagine what kind of trades I want to execute,
in order to steadily make profits in the future.
Establishing Trading Rules and the Importance of Imagination
To succeed in trading, first you must firmly
establish your trading rules. However, if the rules are not set,
it becomes difficult to have a winning image.
Day trading methods aim for several tens of pips to 100 pips per trade.
I always keep this pip target in mind,
and have a concrete image like “take 50 pips on the next trade” or “take profits when this level is reached.”
There are different ways to win depending on the currency pair and market conditions, but
before entering, I always solidify my trade image.
Imagining Leads to Realization
Why is having an image important? Because you become able to trade exactly as that image suggests in reality.
I can say this from experience.
When you imagine, that image tends to be reflected more readily in actual trades.
For example, by concretely imagining, “If I enter in this situation, I can gain 50 pips,”
you can make appropriate entries when you encounter that moment.
Also, by thinking, “This is a winning pattern, so I should look for this chart shape,” you naturally search for profitable patterns and
make entries.
Mental Management While Holding a Position
Having an image prevents you from panicking while holding a position.
With concrete targets as you trade,
the process from entry to exit becomes clear,
and you experience less unnecessary stress during trading.
Also, since you pre-imagine, you can clearly set your stop-loss and take-profit points,
allowing you to proceed with trades calmly.
Concreteization of Imagination in the Easy-Going Line Trade
The “Easy-Going Line Trade” is especially based on a 15-minute day-trading framework,
and it is a method that makes trading imagery easy to form.
By following simple rules using two trendlines,
entry and exit points become clear.
When trading with this method,
it is also important to have concrete images like “hold until here” or “if this level is broken, cut losses.”
This is crucial.
Practice Methods for Building Concrete Imagery
Chart review - Look at past charts to find winning patterns,
and visualize how you would trade in those moments.
Use a demo trade - With a demo account, practice trading while holding concrete images
in mind.
Create a trade journal - Record the results of each trade,
analyze the patterns of successful trades, and apply them to future trades.
Conclusion
To succeed in trading, having concrete imagery is indispensable.
You may feel your rules are not yet set,
but start with small rules, and engage in trades based on those rules
repeatedly, and your trading style will gradually take shape.
While leveraging simple and effective methods like the “Easy-Going Line Trade,”
by approaching trading with a winning image in mind beforehand,
you can achieve stable profits.
