Profile of the Shepherd (Hitsuzikai)
Charismatic FX trader & blogger (administrator of “Shepherd’s FX Blog”). Began FX in 2001 after receiving an insurance payout. At the time, he was active mainly on a bulletin board to exchange information about overseas FX companies with favorable fees and spreads, but moved his activity to a blog in 2003 to record the information he gathered. As readers’ requests and his own trading information accumulated, it developed into the current format. His trading style is mainly scalping trades completed in a few seconds to a few hours.

A Tool Recognized by the Famous discretionary trader, the Shepherd
Editorial: On Twitter and elsewhere, you have said that discretionary trading, EAs, and Gurutore (Guruguru Train) are the three sacred treasures of FX. When people think of the Shepherd, they mainly picture a discretionary trader, but could you share the true meaning of your statement or what you intend to convey?
ShepherdWhat I like about EAs isn’t that they can operate completely without intervention.
Editorial: Generally, EAs are attractive because they trade automatically, right?
ShepherdDiscretionary trading is a game where you take positions yourself, close them, and make a profit. In contrast, when I use an EA, I let it take the positions, but I assess whether those positions are good or bad and continue or stop the operation accordingly. In this way, I can turn it into a different game from discretionary trading, which is the appeal and charm of EAs.
Editorial: It’s not about leaving everything to the EA; you intervene with discretion, right?
ShepherdRather than leaving it entirely to a black-box program, I like that I only delegate position-taking and then decide the rest myself, so I feel it is well-managed. I’m currently exploring a direction to fully delegate, but in the early days I adopted EA because I liked the semi-discretionary aspect.
Recently, many highly reliable EAs have emerged. For example, there are excellent EAs that, once they begin to hold a position, make me want to take the same position by discretion as well.
Editorial: We’re likely on the cusp of an era where everything can be left to EAs.
