Discussion
As in this case,if you can secure profits early, even if the later trades end with small settlements or breakevens, you can still finish with a net gain.
This result reinforces the strength of a strategy that can profit even with a low win rate by using favorable risk-reward.
There are opportunities every day. By consistently taking what you can, you can achieve stable gains without forcing more trades.
Future updates
Regarding the previously mentioned method to easily determine the maximum stop loss width, we are currently formalizing and compiling the rules.
By applying this,you should be able to make stops even shallowerthan before.
We plan to publish an update soon, and would be grateful for your reference.
Breakout strategy pursued by EA
“The Sky’s Edge” is a simple strategy where entry is delegated to an automated entry EA, while the trader focuses on monitoring after entry and executing the exit rules.
The EA continuously monitors the chart and can enter precisely 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 buyer perk, this EA is available for use.
If you wish to use it, please send a message, and we will provide the download password.
The Sky’s Edge main story here
Why publish negative results?
Investors+ intentionally share negative results without hiding them.
The reason is that “trading cannot always win.”
Rather, by recording losses, you can analyze under what conditions you lose and make the logic more robust.
Instead of fixating on each win or loss,
over a span of a week to a month, what matters most is that the total balance is positive..
• “Today I’m glad I won”
• “Today I’m worried because I lost”
To remove these emotional swings, entrust entries to the EA, and have humans focus on “exiting strictly by the rules.”
“→──This mindset is the fundamental premise for accumulating profits over the long term.
Stability gained by following the rules
People who heavily lose in trading share a common trait:the desire to win leads to rule-breaking
For example, delaying a decision to lock in profits by wanting to extend a trade can wipe out profits quickly.
The Sky’s Edge is built with:
• Entry fully automated by EA
• Fixed conditions for exits
This reduces human intervention to the minimum and eliminates hesitation.
By mechanically following the rules, win rate and risk-reward stabilize naturally.
⸻
When testing the Sky’s Edge with the “maximum profit-taking” rule, there are times when breakeven settlements dominate, but adhering to the rules allows you to calmly catch the next opportunity.
Even in cases where you feel you could have taken more,
following the rules and cutting at breakeven is what keeps the total positive.
What matters in trading is “win rate” not “reproducibility”
Many traders worry about “win rate,” but
even with a 50% win rate, capital can grow if the risk-reward ratio is favorable.
What is crucial is having a rule that ensures reproducibility — results the same for anyone applying it.
The Sky’s Edge is,
•EA entry → mechanical stop → rule-based take profit
⸻
A strategy aimed at overall profitability
It is dangerous to fixate on daily wins or losses.
For example, if you view over a week or a month and the balance is overall positive, that’s okay.
Since the EA has no emotions, it is ideal for long-term fund management as well.
By operating the rules with a vision not of “winning” but of “earning,” the growth of your capital tends to be more stable.
ℹ️
Currently, for those who purchase Sky’s Edge, we provide auxiliary tools (automatic entry + stop processing) as a bonus.
These were created from the desire to have them usable daily, and
they are designed to handle entry decisions and risk management based on market structure.
Profit-taking remains primarily a matter of your own judgment, so this tool is well-suited for those who value that approach.
There are not many reviews yet, perhaps because the structure is simple and straightforward, requiring little interaction before or after purchase.
However, as users increase, paid access may become available.
The reason is that “selling the tool alone” may not be sufficient; a “support and package” approach may be needed.
