▷ Introduction of maximum stop loss of −10 pips and its aim
Previously, stop-loss decisions were made case by case based on recent highs/lows and reversal structures.
However, this often caused doubt about whether to stop out, delaying decisions.
From now on, a clear standard is introduced: stop loss at a maximum of −10 pips.This reduces decision pressure and creates an environment focused on settlement decisions.
⸻
▷ Trade result summary
• Total trades: 14
• Profit-taking successes: 6
• Break-even settlements: 5
• Stop losses: 3 (all within −10 pips)
• Total gained: ＋147 pips
• Total lost: −22 pips
• Total result: ＋125 pips
• Win rate: about 43% (6 wins / 14)
• PF (Profit Factor): about 6.7
• 1 lot: ＋¥181,000 ／ 0.1 lot: ＋¥18,100
※ GOLD is calculated as 1 pips = 0.1 USD, 1 lot = 100 oz, converted at USD/JPY 145
⸻
▷ Actual stop loss rule operation
Even before reaching −10 pips, if any of the following conditions are met, we stop out immediately:
• Break of the most recent high/low
• Clearly broke the opposite entry line
• Broken the center line (baseline)
In other words, it is not about “holding until −10 pips” but about eliminating risk even at shallower points.)
As a result, losses were minimized and trades could be processed calmly according to the rules.
⸻
▷ Profit-taking decision: “zone break → revert to reduce”
For profit-taking, instead of “watching and extending,” we adopt zone-aware exit decisions.
For example, after breaking the Skyline II, if it retraces to Line I, exit.
Rather than waiting for Line III, we structurally view the retracement after a break to lock in profits.
This “zone-based settlement rule”
• ensures profits are not brought back to break-even
• drastically reduces decision uncertainty
• maintains rule consistency
makes for a very stable trading result.
⸻
▷ Future verification and policy
This “−10 pips fixed stop loss rule” is still in the verification phase, but
we plan to continue testing this rule in August as the base.
By using flexible stop conditions according to the situation and profit-taking decisions leveraging zone structure,
we will further enhance the ability to trade without hesitation.
When results become stable, we will reflect them clearly in the教材 (educational materials).
EA-driven breakout strategy
The “Gap in the Sky” entrusts entries to an automatic entry EA, and the trader focuses on monitoring after entry and executing the exit rules. This is a simple strategy.
The EA continuously monitors the chart and can precisely enter at the breakout moment without missing it.
This eliminates the stress of staying glued to the screen before entry and the anxiety of missing the timing.
As a purchaser bonus, this EA is available for use.
If you wish to use it, please send a message and we will provide the download password.
Why publish negative results?
Investing Navi+ publishes negative results openly, not hiding them.
The reason is that “trading is not something you can always win.”
Rather, by recording losses you can analyze under what conditions you lose and strengthen the logic.
Instead of fixating on each win or loss,
Over a week or a month, the most important thing is that the total balance is positive..
• “I’m happy because I won today”
• “I’m anxious because I lost today”
To eliminate these emotional swings, entrust entries to the EA, and have humans focus on settling strictly by the rules.
“Want to win” but “Want to earn”── this mindset is the foundation for long-term profit.
Stability gained by following the rules
A common trait of those who lose big in trading is the “desire to win” leading to rule violations.
For example, wanting to push more or wait a bit longer to see can often wipe out profits.
Sky Gap is
• Entries are fully automated by the EA
• Settlements are fixed by a rule
This reduces human intervention and eliminates doubt.
By mechanically following the rules, win rate and risk-reward stabilize naturally.
⸻
We conducted tests using a “maximum profit-taking type” rule targeting Sky Zone,
and although some situations lead to more break-even settlements, sticking to the rules allows catching the next opportunity calmly.
Even in scenarios where you think, “I could have taken more,”
because you cut at break-even as per the rules, you end up maintaining a total positive result, which is a strength of this strategy.
What matters in trading is not “Win rate” but “Reproducibility”
Many traders worry about “win rate,” but
even with a 50% win rate, capital can grow if the risk-reward (RR) is good
What matters is to have a rule that isreproducible that yields the same results regardless of who uses it.
Sky Gap is,
•EA enters → mechanical stop → rule-based profit-taking
Carrying out this sequence with zero emotion emphasizes the idea of trading as a business.
⸻
Strategies aimed at total positive results
Focusing on daily gains/losses is risky.
For example, over a week or a month, if the total is positive even with some negative days, that’s okay.
The EA has no emotion, making it ideal for long-term capital management.
Operating the rules with a vision of “earn” rather than “win” helps the capital curve to rise steadily.
ℹ️Guide to dedicated tools (purchase bonus)
Currently, buyers of Sky Gap are eligible to receive a supplementary tool (automatic entry + stop processing).
It was created from the desire to use it daily, and
it delegates only breakout judgment and risk management according to market structure.
While profit-taking remains a matter of personal judgment, this tool is compatible for those who prefer.
Reviews are not many yet, perhaps because the structure is simple and clear enough before and after purchase.
However, if usage expands, charging may be considered.
The reason is that selling the tool alone may not suffice; a bundled support arrangement may be required.
