Attack or defense, part 2
When my wife asks me something, if I answer immediately with too much seriousness, it will reveal weaknesses, or rather, unnecessary misunderstandings will arise. Recently I finally realized this. From next year, I am considering having questions submitted in advance. The thing they do in the Diet (parliament), you know (^_^)
In the market, is it better to be laid-back or impatient?
Should actions be slow or quick?
Cases vary, so one cannot say definitively, but generally I believe that being “quick” is better. It implies a tendency toward impatience. Whether entering or exiting, it is easy to regret having missed the timing.
If you miss the timing of an entry, it remains a “opportunity loss.”
However, if you fail to act in a situation like “this is bad… I must exit,” then time will pass, losses will grow, and it will take a mental toll—that triple punch awaits.
That said, since it’s about the market, there are cases where holding back in a “Huh?” moment is the correct choice, so one’s readiness can be slow, which is the eternal dilemma in the market.
When you calm down and think, after exiting you can rebuild physically.
Therefore, first exit, first reduce—this “defense” is often the correct strategy.
From a book on the Chuengen-sen (Naka-gen-sen) position-building method, I will quote the detailed explanation of the rules.
The first turning occurs simultaneously, and the re-turn occurs when only one of the conditions is met; in such a case, one should adopt the condition of the side undergoing the turn.
(From “New Edition: Nakaengen-sen Position-Building Method Part III, Annotations and Cases”)
Determining the strength of the Chuengen line is based on the “normal turn.”
What supports this is the rule called the “42-minute turn.”
After both occur simultaneously and the Yin-Yang (Yin and Yang) have turned, if only one side then becomes a “re-turn,” meaning the judgment that “the previous trend is fine” appears only halfway, this is a situation of partial clarity.
In this case, the interpretation should be that a turn should be judged.
About half of “Oh, that was wrong” or “Huh?” situations, one should act and flip the position. If you keep flipping all your holdings back and forth, you will incur a loss from even a brief unstable movement, but since the Chuengen line involves three partial trades, one can act dynamically.
Because you are acting proactively, you might feel that you are “on the offensive.” However, flipping a buying position to buy back is “closing out a buy position,” and flipping a selling position to sell back is the same; by premising on split trading, you can move briskly, which can be described as the market’s form of “defense.”
