Are you letting yourself be unsettled by the noise of minor price fluctuations, shedding blood in the name of unnecessary stop-losses once again today?
Are you entering too early, only to be trampled over and over again by the giant called the market?
Are you ignoring the divine voice telling you to “wait,” ultimately breaking the rules you set for yourself, sinking into a swamp of self-loathing?
If you’ve been stuck in this hellish loop for years on end, trapped in the never-ending battlefield of FX…
Congratulations.
Today is your new “birthday.”
This article isn’t about complex indicators or secret holy grails.
Rather, it reveals the ultimate, brutally simple truth that lies beyond abandoning them all.
Its core principle is this absolute discipline:
“Entrust every decision solely to the market’s ‘official announcement’—the price action on the 15-minute chart.”
This is the final conclusion of my own combat style—a style I honed by stripping away everything, sharpening myself to the core, after six years of anguish. It was born from my love for the fleeting world of second-by-second scalping, and solely to break through the merciless wall of commissions at a prop firm.
Are you ready?
From now on, your trading will become an art.

Why focus solely on the 15-minute chart? – The Gods’ Official Announcement
Why the 15-minute chart?
Because the 1-minute and 5-minute charts are filled with market noise—the devil’s whisper.
But each 15-minute candlestick embodies the collective will of more market participants.
It is a trustworthy “official announcement from the market.”
We trust only this official announcement and act accordingly.
The one and only weapon you should truly possess
There is no single method that is the Holy Grail.
But the most powerful “weapon” that transforms you into the “Holy Grail” does exist.
It is the professional money management technique: “Manage risk through lot size.”
Seek out A+ entry signals, then mechanically adjust your lot size each time to match the stop loss required by the chart pattern, suppressing all emotion. This is the only “shield” that will protect you from ruin.
Chapter 1: Designing the Battlefield — Establishing an Absolute Defense Line That Requires No Redrawing
Every battle begins with a precise understanding of the terrain.
We construct a universal “absolute defense line” from a god’s-eye view—one that, once established, will function for months or even years.
STEP 1: Chart the laws of the universe using monthly charts
It all begins with the monthly chart.
Start your analysis from the market’s largest trend, using the collective essence of past candlesticks (Bass) as your benchmark to draw reliable “cosmic laws” (channel lines). Don’t be swayed by recent price movements. The truth always lies within history.
STEP 2: Refine the Divine Map on Lower Timeframes
We translate the grand blueprint drawn on the monthly chart down to our main battlefield: the 15-minute chart.
Using the “angle” of the channel drawn from the gods’ perspective as a reference, we add lines hidden within smaller price movements, discovering the “ancient battlefields” (horizontal lines and chart patterns) where heroes’ blood has been spilled countless times in the past.
Once you complete this task, your chart will display your advantageous positions—the ambush points you should target—layered like pillars in a temple.
Finally, clarify the immediate trading zone using the channel lines you typically draw.
The actual drawing method and reasoning are already covered in the line construction techniques introduced below.

The methodology for drawing this “absolute defense line,” its philosophy and all specific procedures, are already recorded in another grimoire.

Chapter 2: Choosing Your Combat Style — Sniper or Boxer?
Even with the divine map in hand, you must not fight yet.
The true commander next reads the battlefield’s “time.”
By the positions of sun and moon, they change their weapons for the day.
【Sniper Time】Hunting Hours (Japan Time: 9-11 AM, 4-6 PM, 9 PM-Midnight)
The scent of blood fills the market—the hour when the beast called volatility awakens.
During this time, we become “snipers,” focusing every nerve on the “trend-following” approach that targets the neck of the massive prey known as the trend.
【Boxer Time】Defensive Period (All other periods)
When the market falls asleep and silence reigns.
During this time, we become “Precision Boxers,” throwing counterpunches in the ring called the range, aiming for short-term rebounds.
Or we choose the wisest option—rest—preparing for the next hunt.
Generally, it’s best to avoid range trading.
However, large ranges are worth pursuing. But only if you’re willing to do it.【Daito-style Combat Doctrine】Beyond “Not Doing Is Also an Option” – Why Do I Still Fight in the “Hell” of Range?
Even during the sniper and boxer timeframes, you can’t beat the major market trend.
Time-based breaks or ranges are more likely to occur because market participants tend to enter during peak hours, meaning more eyes are watching—making the market more volatile.
In other words, outside these peak hours, fewer participants enter, making the market less volatile. However, chart patterns often override even these time-based advantages in the market.
When higher timeframe chart patterns show a trend without significant pullbacks, you’ll often lose consistently no matter how favorable the timeframe or market conditions seem for shorting. Chart patterns hold more weight than timeframes; I decide entry based on those patterns. Time is merely a trigger, not a strong basis for entry, so discretion inevitably takes precedence.
Decide calmly whether to enter based on your own judgment.
【Strictly Enforced】The Iron Rules of Prop Trading
And even the gods fall silent at certain times.
During the release of major economic indicators. At this hour, the market ceases to be governed by analysis, becoming nothing more than a realm of pure “gambling.”
As a true professional, you must completely withdraw from the battlefield during this period.
Those who disregard this discipline of “reading the time” and challenge the market’s snipers with a boxer’s fight will inevitably incur the wrath of the gods known as the market.

Chapter Three: The Sniper’s Discipline ― “Ambush” and the Rare “Pursuit”
The sniper’s job is one thing only.
To ride the massive “tsunami” called a clear trend and fully harness its power.
Basic Tactics (99%): The Perfect Ambush
Our primary target is the “first pullback/retracement after a breakout.”
The moment when price, after breaching the “absolute defense line” we designed in Chapter 1, exhausts its momentum and retreats back onto the rubble.
That is the ultimate sniping point, where the market is most complacent and most vulnerable.
We hold our breath, waiting at this prime ambush point for the “clear signal of a counterattack (price action)” to be “confirmed” on the 15-minute timeframe.
And the instant that signal appears, we pull the trigger without mercy or hesitation.
Exception Tactics (1%): Pursuit in the Storm
This is a forbidden technique permitted only to seasoned snipers.
When the surprise attack known as the “15-minute chart’s Hammer of God (long bullish/bearish candle)”—capable of completely altering the battle situation—is confirmed.
Only then do we initiate immediate pursuit without waiting for a pullback.

All of the sniper’s combat techniques—including this “ambush” and “pursuit,” and culminating in the ultimate secret art, ‘Pyramiding,’ which accelerates profits to the absolute limit—are already recorded in another grimoire.

Chapter 4: The Essence of Precision Boxing — Techniques for Dominating the “Front Lines of Attack and Defense”
If the sniper is the hero who dominates the “war” of trends,
then the boxer is the solitary specialist who survives the “street fighting” of range.
Their job is to survive chaotic markets and steadily accumulate points.
They step into the ring only at the “confluence zone”—a battleground where multiple barriers converge.
And they strike their counterpunch only when the “15-minute chart’s signal flare of counterattack” rises at the ropes’ edge.

Final Chapter: The Commander’s Decision ― The Absolute Principle Governing All Battles
Whether you’re a sniper or a boxer, this ultimate principle governs every action.
This is your last line of defense against your greatest enemy: emotion.
- Stop Loss and Take Profit Plan ― Victory is decided before the fight begins
【Stop Loss (SL)】: Set slightly outside the high/low of the 15-minute price action that formed your entry basis. This is your sacred vow.
【Take Profit (TP)】: For boxers, reach the midpoint of the range. For snipers, reach the next major stronghold.
[Top Priority Rule]: If the next 15-minute candle shows even the slightest sign of “hesitation” or “betrayal,” close the position immediately without waiting for the target. 90% of our success hinges on this “retreat at the first sign of discomfort.”
2. The Art of Position Management ― Waiting Patiently with a God’s-Eye View
Once you enter, you do nothing else.
You simply wait for the market to deliver its “verdict”—either a stop loss or a profit.
The only exception is when the very basis for your entry is clearly negated by the next 15-minute candle. Only then do you withdraw immediately, without waiting for the verdict.
Conclusion: You create your own “battle doctrine.”
This philosophy pursues ultimate simplicity by stripping away all complex information and adhering solely to the most reliable “facts of the 15-minute candlestick chart.”
Those who walk this path require, above all else, the courage to wait and absolute confidence to trust themselves unwaveringly.
But if you can reach this state, you will no longer be swayed by market noise.
Because you yourself will become the method.
P.S. Now then, Commander. Your battlefield lies here.
You have mastered this combat doctrine.
Now, why not test its proven power in the professional world without risking your own capital?
Prop firms will fairly evaluate your skills. If you pass, they’ll provide you with powerful “war chest” in the form of company funds. Your years of pursuit were never wasted. It was all an inevitable preparation period to obtain this ultimate combat doctrine and challenge the professional world.
As far as I know, there are three great “battlefields” that align well with our tactics and are where you should aim. See for yourself which one is worthy of your future.
