"What is truly necessary to win in FX"
Nice to meet you, my name is Yamato.
When I started FX, I seriously believed that if I could find a winning method, my life would change. I bought expensive products and wasted over 3 million yen on an EA that claimed huge profits. Even so, I kept searching for a method. I believed there was a Holy Grail.
At some point, I realized: successful traders aren’t using some special method. They record their trades, review them, and improve. That’s all they do, and they do it as a matter of course.
The method didn’t matter. What was missing was a system to view my trades objectively.
I have always been involved in system development as a programmer. If so, I should build that system myself. With that thought, I began developing tools to automate trade recording and validation.
Decades ago, traders drew candlesticks by hand. Now there are platforms like MT4, and charts display in an instant. Yet many traders still perform recording manually, as they did in the old days. They open Excel and enter each item one by one. It’s no wonder they can’t keep it up.
Technology is evolving. The use of AI is accelerating. To survive in FX from now on, I believe what’s needed is not chasing new methods, but the ability to continually improve one’s trades by leveraging IT and AI.
I don’t intend to sell methods. I will support the process of becoming able to win through technology. The first step I developed is an MT4 tool, TradingNote_FX, which can automatically record, aggregate, and verify trades while trading.
What is truly necessary to win in FX? I will continue pursuing that answer through development in the future.
