Trading Overview
Market on this day moved inan overall very narrow rangewith little direction, making it hard to discern the trend.
Although price movement did not expand as hoped, by sticking to the rules and processing calmly, we were able to avoid large losses and secure small gains.
In particular, during the final breakout there was potential for a larger move, butthe rules capped the take-profit at a shallow level, limiting profits.
Nevertheless, by continuing to follow the rules, we ended with +16 pips, contributing to an overall positive result.

Discussion
In markets with a narrow range and no clear direction like this, it is difficult to win big in one go, but by strictly adhering to entry and exit rules and effective stop management,
“we can maintaina trade that doesn’t lose
Even though the final breakout did not fully extend and ended with shallow exits, the accumulation according to the rules still yielded a positive result..
I again realized the importance of steady, gradual accumulation.
Announcement
Today, as an advanced section of “The Sky Between the Heavens,” I added a new fixed-stop loss logic.
This logic, when used with an EA, can quickly set the stop width to match market conditions,potentially allowing even shallower stops than before.There is a possibility to make stops even shallower.
With further testing, more efficient and stable operation is expected.

About the EA Update
Based on user feedback, we are also considering adding ATR/ADX filters to the entry EA.
In initial settings, behavior remains as before, but by adjusting values, the filters can be activated andfurther improve entry precision.
Introducing ADX and ATR filters, the chart visibility may slightly decrease.
Therefore, for those who want to use the filters, automatic entry EA will be the main method of operation.
When entry decisions are delegated to the EA,
the trader can focus on “monitoring until exit,” reducing actual work time further.
As a result,the waiting time after entry is longer, allowing for a calmer trading environment.
The update is planned for the end of this week, so please consider it as well.
Breakouts by the EA
“The Sky Between the Heavens” uses automatic entry by the EA, and the trader focuses on monitoring after entry and executing the exit rules—it's a simple strategy.
The EA continually monitors the chart and can enter immediately at breakout moments without missing them.
This reduces the stress of staring at the screen before entry and the anxiety of missing the timing.
As a bonus for purchasers, this EA is available for use.
If you would like to use it, please send a message and we will provide the download password..
The Sky Between the Heavens – Main Story
Why publish negative results?
Investment Navigator+ deliberately publishes negative results as well,not hiding them..
The reason is that “trading cannot always be profitable.”
Rather, by recording losses, we can analyze under what conditions we lose and make the logic more robust.
Rather than fixating on each win or loss,
we should aim for a long-term positive total over a week or a month, which is the most important goal.
• “Today I won, so I’m happy”
• “Today I lost, so I’m anxious”
To eliminate these emotional swings, entrust entry to the EA and have humans focus on“exiting strictly by the rules.”.
“I want to win”rather than “I want to earn”—This mindset is the foundation for long-term profitability.
Stability gained by following the rules
The common trait among traders who incur big losses is a strong craving to win that leads to breaking the rules.
The Sky Between the Heavens
• Entry is fully automated by the EA
• Exit is a fixed, rule-based condition
This reduces human intervention to a minimum and removes hesitation.
By mechanically following the rules, win rate and risk-reward stabilize naturally.
⸻
We validated the “max-profit” rule targeting the Sky Zone,
there are times when breakeven exits occur, but by following the rules, we can calmly seize the next opportunity.
Even in spots where you might think “I could have taken more,”
by exiting at breakeven as per the rules, you end up with a positive total. This is the strength of this strategy.
What matters in trading is not “Win rate but “Reproducibility”
Many traders worry about the win rate, but
even with a win rate of 50%, capital can grow if the risk-reward ratio is favorable.
The key is to have a rule that yields the same results regardless of who uses it—a reproducible rule.
The Sky Between the Heavens is built as
•EA entry → mechanical stop → rule-based exit
⟲
Strategy aiming for overall profitability
Trying to win every day is risky.
Viewed over a week or a month, even with some losing days, as long as the total is positive, it’s acceptable.
EA has no emotions, making it ideal for long-term capital management.
Operating the rules with a “make money” rather than a “win” mindset makes the capital growth curve more stable.
ℹ️Guide to Exclusive Tools (Purchase Bonus)
Currently, buyers of The Sky Between the Heavens receive an auxiliary tool (auto entry + stop processing) as a bonus.
This was created from the desire to use it daily,
and it is designed to autonomously handle breakout judgments and risk management in line with market structure.
For those who prefer to decide exits themselves, this tool is a good match.
There are not many reviews yet, perhaps because the product is simple and clear enough that it does not require much back-and-forth before or after purchase.
However, if user numbers grow, we may consider adding a paid option.
The reason is that selling the tool alone may not be enough; a bundled support package may be necessary.
