A must-see for 秒スキャ lovers! How to explode your trading results during the “accumulation period”
Do you know about the peak season? Don’t miss the right moment to profit in trading!
Hello, I’m Neko-kai from Trade Idea Lab. Have you heard the term “peak season”? It refers to the timing when you can earn in business. It’s especially used in seasonal trades. For example, for a shaved ice shop, midsummer is the peak season. While it’s natural that ice doesn’t sell in winter, that’s why you need to earn solidly during the hot summer, or else winter becomes tough.
In trading, it’s exactly the same. There isn’t a year-round easy period to make money. In fact, there are many “slow periods” where markets barely move. And if you miss the peak season, no matter how hard you work in other times, you won’t be able to recover.
There’s a famous market saying, “Patience is the market,” which basically means, “When it’s not moving, stay still and wait; when it moves, go after it all at once.” But surprisingly, not many people can practice this. Why? Because many get hooked on scalping that lasts seconds to minutes.
A habit of scalping every second causes “the hunger disease” to appear
“No way, when a trend appears I’ll follow the trend!” you might think. Once you become a scalping addict, you can’t even see the trend.
This is something experienced traders will tell you: if you keep doing scalping, you start to care only about tiny movements on the chart. “Oh, a long upper wick appeared!” “The 5-minute chart crossed below the MA!” You get pulled around by short-term signals.
As a result, even when a strong trend is present, you’ll feel, “This is scary, I can’t enter…,” or you’ll enter but take profits too early and never ride the move.
If you don’t profit during the peak season, you’ll starve
Continuing to focus only on scalping and missing the peak is like a winter shaved-ice shop trying to sell ice despite the cold. Frankly, it’s inefficient and unprofitable.
What happens if this continues? You’ll starve. In trading terms, you won’t even be able to cover living expenses. It’s especially hell during market phases where profits are hard to come by.

My own failure story: the day I couldn’t follow the trend
By the way, I used to be addicted to scalping seconds as well. One day, there was a incredibly clean upward trend. Anyone could tell it was going up. But I, who had a scalping habit, took profits at the first small pullback. Then while watching the chart, I repeated, “Will it go higher?” about five times, and the chart suddenly moved 200 pips.
If I had properly seized the peak season then, I could have traded for another week without any issue. I really regret it.
