About trading
The basic stance is to aim for “300 pips/month” through day trading or swing trading. Even 200 pips might suffice, provided the win rate is above 70%.
The reason is simple: it comes down to lot size.
If the trading points are highly reliable, you can increase the lot size, and the financial returns are directly influenced by the number of lots. The aim is to explore targets for verification based on this fundamental idea.
Backtesting results
Verification work involves creating or finding reasons to perform day trading or swing trading based on technical analysis.
Unlike fundamental trading, which relies on economic conditions as its basis, technical trading identifies chart patterns from past data that are likely to recur and places trades betting on those patterns.
Verification work (technical analysis) is the process of quantifying how effective those isolated patterns actually are.
In the simplest terms, verification work is the “study” of trading.
Trading in a style that waits for chart patterns discovered through verification—situations where returns are expected to exceed losses—not only helps avoid “hope-based trades” or emotionally driven trades, but also enables traders to maintain the optimal mindset.
This mindset allows one to approach trading calmly and rationally, often described as trading “like a machine.”
Details about verification work are outlined below.
About backtesting work
Just as studying baseball extensively doesn’t mean you’ll be able to hit the ball, the only way to improve in trading is through practical experience. That goes without saying.
However, verification work is akin to practice in baseball. It’s a fact that no great athlete skips practice, and the greater the athlete, the more extraordinary their amount of practice.
While I don’t aspire to become a legendary trader who leaves their mark on history (nor do I feel I could), simply becoming good enough to make a living from trading would, to me, be a significant success.
As long as the capitalist economy continues, markets will exist. Being able to generate income independently—free from constraints like employment, workplace, clients, interpersonal relationships, or popularity—would surely be a wonderful thing.
For myself and many others, this could be considered one form of an economic goal.
