From early morningthe market movement is exactly as expected.

Even before entries, just as per the prewritten scenario, my anticipation is rising.

Could today be a pretty good day to win? Thinking that makes my face naturally smirk.

The technical trend is clearly a buy signal. The candlestick condition is strong.

In the forecast, it is expected to break out of the range and reach the next resistance with momentum.

Shall I enter soon? In a confident moment like this, I want to take as many pips as possible.

Now, the trade begins! ... Hehehe.

Within a few minutes of placing the order, as expected, unrealized profit has appeared. Tonight I’ll go to Yoshinoya. (Note: original shows 叙○苑, a restaurant name.)

I never imagined profits could be so easy today. My face isn’t just smirking anymore—I'm laughing.

Facing the computer screen, laughing alone, I know I must be weird.

While thinking that, as preplanned, the range is broken and the candlesticks rise vigorously! This could work! Could rise further? I might gain more than expected.

At this pace, maybe I can double the gains. ...Huh? A rapid decline suddenly starts.

Well, it should recover soon. Let’s wait. ...It’s not returning easily. Maybe I should have taken profit at the earlier point….

It keeps dropping further and further.Profit turning into loss. While this is happening, it turns into a loss. In the end, this trade ended with a loss.

Have you ever had experiences like this?

Some people may have special sense and never experience such things at all.

However, I am far from special, so I have made many such mistakes.

I’ve experienced this so many times that I question myself, how many times will I do this?

Even after carefully analyzing the market and temporarily seeing the expected movement, I end up with a loss. If I misjudge the take-profit point, I will decide it properly next time.

But I think next trade will alsomake the same mistake.

It seems difficult to break this negative cycle.

Even after thorough pre-analysis, is my chart analysis really wrong? If I keep losing despite repeating this, maybe I lack trading sense.

There are times when such thoughts cross my mind.

Because we have the same experiences, if there are anyone with similar worries, there is something I would like to share.

It is that “in these moments, what you should reassess is not the chart analysis butyour own analysisis possibly lacking, focus there instead.

Technicals, market analysis, charts, candlesticks... before all that, it might be good to redo “your own analysis.”

Huh? What do you mean by yourself and how is that related to trading? you might think, but

• “How do I always end up losing?”

If you shift your perspective to those questions, you might find new points for improvement.

Because after realizing that my own analysis was lacking more than market analysis, my trading changed dramatically.

For example

• I can’t press the exit button because unrealized profits keep growing, which makes me happy.
• I wait because I want the unrealized profits to return to their peak again.
• If you’re obsessed with “unrealized profits” and your prior analysis is meaningless, try significantly reducing your LOT size.
• If you drastically reduce LOT size, even if you gain many pips, the unrealized profit numbers may remain small.
• Therefore, without letting emotions run high, in a calm state you may be able to focus on the truly important “chart analysis.”

This improvement example is only effective for me personally.

However, when you’re trying hard yet still not winning, instead of constantly rechecking market or chart analyses,take another look at your own analysisand you might unexpectedly start winning more consistently.
