Introduction to the Theory of Tailwinds Starting from the Hall of Prohibition of Latin Letters - Don't Let Katakana English Beat You! -

Introduction to the Wind-From-Behind Theory Starting with Long Western Characters in Hallways: Don’t Let Katakana English Beat You!

“Japan today is so infatuated with American slang that we use a lot of Western terms.”

A requiem for the beautiful land and culture protected by the heroic spirits, destroyed by such acts.

A requiem for the Japanese men who sacrificed themselves in the battle 60 years ago

‘Close Your Eyes.’. Please listen

...Who said that, I don’t know, but this “misquote,” strangely famous on the net, is it not? (laughs)

Its origin isn’t clear, but some say “Takamasa Shou” said it, others say “That can’t be,” and it’s a memorably phrased line nonetheless.

Now, while sharing such a funny-yet-not-funny anecdote, let’s proceed with our trading dojo once again today.

◆ The Problem of Too Many Western Terms

Even around me, the game of “No English Hall” is popular.

For example in golf, set a rule that if you speak English on just one hole you pay 500 yen as a fine, and people say things like “Ah, nice shot…” “Oops, I said it!” (laughs).

Golf terms are full of Western terms, aren’t they?

For example:

• Ball → 玉
• Green → 緑
• Fairway → 花道
• Rough → 横道
• Bunker → 砂場
• Nice shot → いい打ち方！
• OB → 場外
• Cart → 車

…Try translating all of these into Japanese. It’s quite difficult.

“The green ball on the flowered path rolled into the rough, so I had to go off the course by car for the fourth shot!”

I mean, someone translate this already (laughs)

◆ Trading Terms Don’t Lose Either!

And you know, this isn’t limited to golf.

The trading world is the same—nope, more extreme (laughs)

You know these terms:

• Long → Buy
• Short → Sell
• Square → No position
• Favorite → Unrealized gain
• Against → Unrealized loss
• Position → Open position
• Candlestick → Candlestick chart

and so on… the English or Katakana jargon and other technical terms are flying about so much it’s hard to keep track!

◆ It’s not just Western terms, “neologisms” are a problem too

Moreover, it’s not just that.

“People who coin terms on their own”

“People who use expressions that no one understands”

“People who use poetical expressions to obscure the logic”

…There are actually many such people in the trading world.

No, the instructors of trading schools or social media influencers, the more dangerous they are, the more this tendency appears (laughs)

Of course, it’s fine to build your own worldview, but

“If you’re in a position to teach others, choose words that convey clearly!” is what I think.

I also try to avoid heavy Western terms and speak in a way that beginners can understand.

How is it—is it getting through? (laughs)

◆ So what exactly are Fundamentals?

Now, the main topic for today.

In the trading world, the representative “mysterious Western terms” is

“Fundamentals.”

Originally this means things like the basic economic conditions or the foundation of national power…

Well, even if you hear that, it doesn’t immediately click, right? (laughs)

◆ For us, Fundamentals = “Tailwind”

But what I teach you isn’t some tough economic theory.

“Fundamentals = Tailwind”

That’s all you need.

A tailwind, simply put, is “the wind-like information blowing from outside the chart.”

For example, when trading USD/JPY…

• US interest rates (U.S. Treasury yields)
• Nikkei 225
• Moves in the Korean won or Chinese yuan
• Geopolitical risk (wars, disasters, etc.)
• Economic indicators (employment data, CPI, etc.)

These kinds of information become the wind that influences prices.

When this wind is favorable, riding it is the professional way.

◆ Let’s take yesterday’s trade as an example

Yesterday I told members on the site and LINE that—

US 10-year Treasury yields were approaching 5%.

That’s a wind blowing stronger the dollar → USD/JPY tends to rise.

In fact, USD/JPY didn’t fall much yesterday, did it?

But once it touched around 5%, it dropped sharply.

From our perspective, that was **the movement we were aiming for**.

Because the wind had ended, a selling opportunity arrived.

◆ Trading becomes easier with the “Tailwind Theory”

Knowing this “Tailwind Theory” makes trading truly easier.

It’s not an exaggeration to say this is really how it is.

• Just glancing at the chart and entering
• Holding positions without justification
• Enduring drawdown and praying

If you graduate from that self-taught style and simply confirm the tailwind before riding, your win rate changes greatly.

◆ My limits of self-study, my failures

In the past, I thought “I’ll manage with self-study,”

and I tackled both trading and CPA studies on my own.

But, well… it wasn’t going to work (laughs)

CPA exam study, I attempted it alone without a prep school,

and my first practice test had a percentile of 38.

This is the honest truth (crying).

In the end, “the cake should be eaten by the cake shop.”

It’s faster and less risky to learn from a professional in the field.

That’s why I’m now teaching you all this “Tailwind Theory.”

◆ Today’s trade: Window fill completed!

Today’s trading was exciting, wasn’t it?

The window fill was properly completed first thing in the morning!

Of course, we were selling intermittently as well.

With this, this week’s “Window Fill Tactics” are complete! (I used Western terms again w)

So I’ll set another idea and share it with you via LINE again.

◆ Finally: Have you properly received the member site?

Details on the “Tailwind Theory” and “What are Fundamentals?” are fully recorded on the free member site.

• How to read US Treasury charts
• Global interest rate maps
• How to trade with geopolitical risk

and more, explained clearly with real-world tailwind information used by professional traders.

Please refer to the instructions at the end of this email for how to access the member site.

◆ Next time: We’ll publish our actual winning trades!

In Next STEP 5, we’ll show you the actual trades we placed this week, in full.

We’ll lay it all out for you to see.

“See, we won again” kind of vibe (laughs).

If you see it, you’ll understand how useful the “Tailwind Theory” is in real life

and you’ll be able to feel it too.

Well then, see you in the next email!

Ride the tailwind and advance toward the flower path (the fairway) today as well!

…Yeah, golf and trading seem to resemble each other, don’t they (laughs)
