Trade overview
This validation fixed the maximum drawdown width of this month's settings at −10 pips.
We prepared separate adaptive logic tuned to market conditions, but for this time period we applied the conventional rules as usual.
London time tends to show large price moves, and there were also moments where we reliably captured profits in this day.
Howeverthe logic produced many shallow take-profits, and although mid-day declines were captured, it did not extend substantially.
Nevertheless,the rule to limit drawdown shallowly worked,
allowing a positive result while avoiding a large drawdown.

Discussion
The sky’s gap is a space where the strategy thrives on “steady accumulation.”
Therefore, if we can directly capture the moments of growth, it is enough; there is no need to chase every price move. As in this example, many shallow take-profits still result in an overall positive outcome, illustrating the strength of the strategy.
Also, when you are unsure about whether to enter because “the price moves too much” or “don’t know when to exit,” it is better to follow the rules and refrain from discretionary judgments.Follow the rules or refrain from trading
This is true not only for the sky’s gap but for any method. In any market, byconsistently adhering to the rulesyou can trade without regrets. Consequently, even on days with lower win rates, the total expectation can be built with a “small losses, big gains” mechanism.
⸻
Summary
In London-time validation, there were not many flashy gains due to shallow take-profits, but by enforcing the rules we were able to steadily accumulate +44 pips while managing risk.
I feel again that not only days of big wins are valuable; steady accumulation like this forms the foundation for long-term stability.
Announcement
As an advanced variant of the “Sky’s Gap”added a new fixed-stop-loss logic.
This logic, when used with an EA, canset the stop-loss width quickly to match the marketand thusallow even shallower stopsthan before.
Further testing may yield more efficient and stable operation.
⸻
In response to user suggestions, we are also adding ATR/ADX filters to entries.
Initial settings keep the traditional behavior, but enabling these filters via parameter changes can further improve entry accuracy.
If you introduce ADX or ATR filters, chart readability will inevitablyslightly decrease.
Therefore, for those who want to utilize filters, auto-entry EA is considered the main mode of operation.
With entry decisions 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 becomes longer, allowing for a calmer trading environment—such a relaxed state should be fostered.
Updates are planned for this weekend, so please consider them as well.
Breakout strategy driven by EA
In “Sky’s Gap,” entries are entrusted to an automated entry EA , and the trader focuses only on monitoring after entry and executing exit rules.
The EA continuously monitors the chart and can enter exactly at the breakout moment.
This eliminates the stress of staring at the screen before entry and the fear of missing timing.
As a bonus for purchasers, 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?
Investment Navi+ deliberately posts negative results without hiding them.
The reason is that “trading is not always possible to win.”
Rather, recording losses helps analyze which situations lead to losses and makes the logic more robust.
Instead of fixation on each trade’s win/loss,
over a period, such as a week or a month, the goal is to have a net positive balanceand that is the most important..
• “I won today, so I’m happy.”
• “I lost today, so I’m uneasy.”
To eliminate these emotional waves, entrust entries to the EA,and human effort should focus on “exiting according to the rules,”.
“I want to win”vs“I want to earn”—This mindset is the cornerstone of long-term profitability.
Stability gained by following the rules
The common trait of traders who lose big is“desire to win”driving rule violations
For example, postponing exits to “let it run a bit more” or “watch a little longer” can wipe out profits.
Sky’s Gap uses
• Entries fully automated by EA
• Fixed exit rules and targets
This minimizes human intervention and eliminates hesitation.
By mechanically following the rules, win rate and risk-reward are naturally stabilized.

We tested with a “maximum profit” rule to target the Sky Zone,
and there are times when breakeven exits occur, but by sticking to the rules we can calmly seize the next opportunity.
Even in moments where you think “I could have taken more,”
the fact that you cut at breakeven according to the rules allows you to maintain total profit.That is the strength of this strategy.
What matters in trading is not “win rate” but “reproducibility”.
Many traders chase win rate, but
even with a 50% win rate, capital can grow if risk-reward is favorable
What is important is to have a rule that isreproducible by anyone—.
Sky’s Gap is designed with
•EA entry → mechanical stop-loss → rule-based take-profit
to perform trades as a business,
⸻
Strategy aimed at overall profitability
Focusing on daily wins and losses is risky.
For example, over a week or month, even with some negative days, as long as the total is positive, it’s fine.
EA, lacking emotions, is ideal for long-term capital management.
Operating rules with the mindset of “earn” rather than just “win” helps the growth curve of capital to be more stable.
ℹ️Information on a dedicated tool (purchase bonus)
Currently, buyers of Sky’s Gap receive auxiliary tools (auto-entry + stop-loss processing) as a bonus.
Designed for daily personal use, this tool delegates only the breakouts and risk management to the market structure.
For those who still want to determine take-profit themselves, this tool is well-suited.
Reviews are still few, perhaps because the tool is simple and intuitive enough that active pre- and post-purchase interactions are not required.
However, if user numbers grow, we may consider charging for it.
The reason is that the tool may need to be sold as a package with support rather than standalone software.
