what makes us different
After graduating from a Japanese university, he ventured into entrepreneurship both domestically and internationally. In 2009, following the Lehman Shock, he fully committed to FX trading. Since 2012, he has consistently generated stable profits for over a decade. By leveraging systematic trading methods and psychology-based strategies, he now achieves annual profits exceeding $1 million.
I live a nomadic lifestyle, traveling the world and moving between 5 to 8 countries each year. I trade from different locations depending on the season, spending spring in Kyoto, summer in Europe, autumn in New York, and winter in warm Asian cities. Believing that "it's meaningless if I'm the only one profiting," I am passionate about sharing the knowledge and skills I've gained through trading with as many people as possible.
My trading philosophy is rooted in the belief that "markets are driven by psychology." Drawing inspiration from George Soros' famous words, "Markets are influenced by people's emotions and expectations," I believe that understanding collective psychology is the key to success. To anticipate market movements, it is essential to grasp the emotions and behavioral patterns of participants.
Health is one of my core values. I believe that no amount of money is meaningful without good health. I actively share scientifically-backed health information and provide practical advice that benefits my audience. Maintaining a daily routine of exercise and nutritional management, I continually strive to improve my own health and well-being.
Over $1 Million in Annual Profits
I began my FX trading journey in 2009, after the dust settled from the Lehman Brothers crash. Starting with an initial capital of $100,000, I unfortunately lost the entire amount due to inexperience and the volatile market conditions.
However, this failure became a significant turning point, prompting me to revisit the fundamentals of trading.
By 2012, I had refined my risk management skills, honed my market analysis techniques, and restructured my trading strategies. Since then, I have maintained a winning record for over a decade on an annual basis.
For instance, during the European debt crisis, I accurately predicted the euro’s sharp decline and managed my positions effectively, resulting in substantial profits. Similarly, during the yen’s depreciation triggered by Abenomics, I capitalized on the trend and secured significant gains.
In 2020, I launched this FXWIZARD blog as a way to review my trading history and share my experiences.
The blog provides detailed records of my trades, strategies, and market analyses. For example, I’ve shared insights on how I navigated market volatility during the COVID-19 pandemic and my approach to trading during the U.S. presidential election cycle.
Through this blog, I’ve connected with numerous traders, exchanging ideas and perspectives that have further enhanced my trading skills. The feedback and questions from my readers have also inspired new trading ideas and approaches.
My success did not happen overnight. It is the result of numerous failures and lessons learned over the years.
As I continue documenting my trading journey, I aim to measure my growth and set new goals, further elevating my skills and achievements in the financial markets.
Health Comes First
No amount of wealth can bring joy to life if you lack good health.
There are stories of traders who amassed enormous profits but ended up spending it all on medical bills due to poor lifestyle choices. Such examples serve as a stark reminder of why prioritizing health is essential.
Personally, I have come to deeply appreciate the importance of health and consider it my top priority.
I aim to share global health information based on scientific literature, offering practical advice that can benefit my readers.
For instance, I highlight findings from the latest studies in nutrition and exercise physiology, as well as methods for managing stress. All these insights are backed by reliable data from trusted medical journals and professional institutions.
While my preferences influence the topics I choose, I strive to provide information that is both practical and useful for a wide audience.
Examples include simple yoga poses for a morning routine, stretches you can do while working, and healthy meal recipes.
I also focus on mental health, addressing ways to reduce stress and pressure, which are particularly common among traders. In one blog post, for instance, I discussed scientifically proven methods for improving sleep quality.
This included advice on avoiding blue light by minimizing screen time before bed, and tips on selecting the right bedding. Additionally, I explored the benefits of mindfulness meditation for stress management, which received positive feedback from many readers.
My goal is to offer valuable health insights that traders can refer to before diving into the markets. I firmly believe that good health is the foundation of long-term success and happiness.
By embracing the philosophy of “health comes first,” I hope to share resources and knowledge that support a healthy lifestyle for everyone. Together, we can strive for both a fulfilling and prosperous life.
Although I am Japanese, I rarely stay in Japan. My lifestyle revolves around traveling between Asia, Europe, and the Americas, spending time in 5 to 8 countries annually.
For instance, I might enjoy spring amidst the cherry blossoms in Kyoto, summer at a beautiful beach resort in Europe, autumn in the financial district of New York, and winter in a warm Asian city. This lifestyle allows me to experience and appreciate the unique charm of each location while continuing my trading journey.
For independent traders, trading exclusively in Japan—a high-tax country—might not be the most practical choice. Establishing a base in low-tax jurisdictions such as Hong Kong, Singapore, or Dubai can provide significant tax advantages. For those just starting, your journey may begin in Japan, but once you achieve consistent profitability, I recommend considering a move abroad.
Low-tax countries attract many international traders, creating ample networking opportunities. Additionally, living overseas offers an invaluable chance to learn about different cultures and perspectives.
Interacting with locals can provide fresh insights, which may even lead to new trading strategies.
For example:
This global lifestyle contributes significantly to personal and professional growth as a trader. Expanding your horizons beyond Japan and adopting a global perspective on trading is a key factor for achieving success.
If you reach a point where you can trade profitably, I encourage you to seriously consider living abroad. It might just be the next step in your journey toward greater success and fulfillment.
In the world of trading, the market is not merely a collection of numbers and data. Beneath the surface lies the profound influence of human emotions and psychology.
The market moves because of psychology. Understanding and interpreting collective sentiment is, in my view, the most critical element for achieving success as a trader.
George Soros, the legendary investor, once said, “Markets are not always right; they are shaped by the emotions and expectations of people.” This insight highlights how deeply market movements are tied to human psychology. Soros himself placed great emphasis on analyzing collective sentiment when forecasting market trends.
Similarly, Benjamin Graham, in his seminal book The Intelligent Investor, wrote: “In the short term, the market is a voting machine, but in the long term, it is a weighing machine.” The “voting machine” analogy underscores how short-term market movements are driven by the emotions and opinions of investors.
Fear and greed are two powerful emotions that drive market behavior. For instance:
Predicting these collective psychological patterns and preparing for them is the key to success as a trader.
In my trading practice, I consistently focus on collective sentiment.
For example:
By reading the psychological undercurrents of the market, I can reduce risk and maximize profits.
The market is not entirely unpredictable. By understanding human emotions and psychology, it becomes possible to forecast its movements to a certain degree.
Success in trading depends not just on data and technical analysis but on the ability to interpret human psychology. This is my trading philosophy and the message I strive to share with others.
