【Episode 83】A Rule to Protect Even in Losses: Win Rate 30% − 21 pips | The Day Range Market Where Position Averaging Worked
Should you include this chart?
【No.83】 Position entry handling in range market and loss limitation / GOLD 1-minute chart
August 18, 2025 (Monday) | Japan time 18:00–21:00
Net profit:−21 pips
1 lot →−30,450 JPY／0.1 lot →−3,045 JPY
That day, the market had no clear direction,and there were many moments where stopping loss would occur no matter which way it moved.
Because I followed the rule of exit at entry price for the shakeouts, I did not incur large losses, but the final break also returned to entry, so the price range could not be extended much.
From the perspective of a range market, this environment is unfavorable for trend-following breakout methods, but by following the rules I was able to limit losses for the day.

Market characteristics and reflections
• Clear directional signal did not emerge, and breakouts tended to end as false breakoutsin many cases.
• By executing exits at entry price according to the rules, large losses were avoided.
• All stops were within a maximum of −10 pips, maintaining a certain level of financial stability.
Key takeaway this time
As shown here, even with a low win rate, combining exit-at-entry processing with shallow stops can uphold the principle of “small losses, large gains.”
However, in a range market the win rate tends to drop, so concentrating trades in times with clearer directional movement could greatly improve results.
Regarding future updates
The method described in the previous article, “A simple way to decide maximum stop loss,” is currently being formalized into a rule.
If applied,you should be able to shorten stops further.
An update will be published soon, so I’d appreciate your参考.
Summary
The rules of the Sky between the heavens are such that, depending on market conditions, stops and exit-at-entry can continue, and as a result you may end up with a negative outcome.
With that premise in mind, I plan to continue steadily from tomorrow onward.
Breakout strategy triggered by EA
“Sky between the heavens” is a simple strategy where entry is handled by an automated entry EA, and the trader focuses only on monitoring after entry and executing the exit rules.
The EA continuously monitors the chart and can enter at the breakout moment without missing it.
This eliminates the stress of staring at a screen before entry and the anxiety of missing the timing.
As a purchaser perk, this EA is available for use.
If you wish to use it, please send a message and I will provide a download password.

Why publish negative results?
Investment Navi+ deliberately publishes negative results without hiding them.Reason: trade does not always win continuously.
Rather, by recording losses, you can analyze when you lose and strengthen the logic.
Rather than focusing on each win or loss,
the most important is that over a span such as one week or one month, the total result is positive.Total net positive is what matters.
• “I won today, so I’m happy.”
• “I lost today, so I’m uneasy.”
To remove these emotional waves, let the EA handle entries,and have humans focus on “exiting according to the rules.”.
Not “I want to win,” but “I want to earn” —this mindset is the foundation for long-term profitability.
Stability gained by following the rules
A common reason people lose heavily in trading is the urge to win leads to breaking the rules
• Completely automated entry by EA
• Fixed exit conditions that are rule-based
human intervention is minimized and hesitation is eliminated.
We verified using the “maximum profit target” rule that aims for the Sky zone,
there are times when exit-at-entry becomes more common, but by sticking to the rules you can calmly seize the next opportunity.
Even in scenarios where you could have taken more,
because you cut at entry price according to the rules, you end up maintaining a total positive result— this is the strength of the strategy.
What matters in trading is not “Win rate but “Reproducibility”
Many traders worry about the win rate, but
even with a 50% win rate, capital can grow if the risk-reward (RR) is good
What matters is to have rules that arereproducible by anyone— a reproducible system
Sky between the heavens is,
•EA entry → mechanical stop → rule-based take profit
With this zero-emotion flow, we aim to establish trading as a “business”.

Strategy aiming for overall profit
Focusing on daily wins and losses is risky.
For example, over a week or a month, even with some losing days, if the total is positive, it’s OK.
EA has no emotions, making it ideal for long-term fund management.
Operating the rules with a vision of “earn” rather than “win” helps the capital growth curve stay stable.
ℹ️Information on dedicated tools (purchase bonus)
Currently, for those who purchased Sky between the heavens, we are providing auxiliary tools (automatic entry + stop processing).
This was made because I want to use it daily, and
it delegates breakout judgments and risk management to align with market structure.
Take profits remain a matter of personal judgment, and this tool suits those who prefer such an approach.
Reviews are not abundant yet, perhaps because it is simple and straightforward in structure, requiring minimal interaction before and after purchase.
However, if the user base grows, monetization may be considered.
The reason is that selling the tool alone may not suffice; a bundled support approach could be required.
