[Summary]
A stray foot is a stray foot that falls within the range of the previous foot.
What is most likely to lead to failure in haste is not the lack of knowledge itself, but the fact that you end up justifying your hasty decisions afterwards.
In actual investing, you first start by waiting for the contraction in price movements and the next spike. However, we cannot overlook the fact that it is easy to decide on a direction quickly.
In this article, we will organize Hamiashi not as "knowledge" but as a step to check before buying or selling. Don't rush to conclusions, read according to your financial amount and time horizon.
First, separate the legs
When looking at ``Hamariji'', first determine ``what you want to judge''. The information you need will change depending on whether you want to know the meaning, confirm before buying or selling, or review your current holdings.
Especially for beginners in investing, the easier the words are, the more they tend to take them as a conclusion. The presence of hazy feet is not the only factor in making a decision. If you want to check it, it is more realistic to look at it in conjunction with fund management, holding period, and opposing materials.
Situations where it is easy to fail if you are hesitant
If you want to look at reluctance as a failure pattern, first of all, make narrow assumptions. It is important not to mix up whether you are talking about the market as a whole, individual stocks, NISA or long-term funds.
Checking the following points will make things a lot easier.
| Axis to check | to see with open arms |
|---|---|
| purpose | What do you use to judge? |
| Time axis | Which is closer to short-term trading, long-term holding, or NISA? |
| basis | Which one is more important: price, business performance, interest rates, exchange rates, or psychology? |
| risk | When things go the other way, where should you look again? |
| action | Will it lead to buying, selling, or doing nothing? |
Points that can easily cause trouble in making decisions
It's not only when you lack knowledge that you stumble. In fact, there are situations where we interpret something conveniently because we know a little bit about it.
- Don't decide whether to buy or sell the moment you see a barrage.
- Do not mix up the time frame that suits you and your own holding period.
- Don't increase your position to recoup your losses
- Don't make a decision just based on SNS or rankings.
The important thing here is not to just decide on one correct answer. In investment, the meaning of the same material changes depending on the market, holding period, and amount of funds. When in doubt, prioritize confirmation over conclusion.
Checklist before buying and selling
Check these five things at least before making your decision on hazy feet.
- Can you explain in one sentence the purpose of looking at Hami's feet?
- Have you confirmed one or more countermeasures or failure conditions?
- Are you investing your living funds or money that will be used soon?
- Have you decided in advance the criteria for cutting losses, taking profits, and continuing to hold stocks?
- Are you making judgments based only on social media or short headlines?
Checklists are simple, but they prevent you from adding reasons after making a decision. The purpose of checking for hesitation is not to make you act faster, but to reduce unnecessary errors in judgment.
Summary
Barefoot is a material for organizing investment decisions. Even if you read it as a failure pattern, treating it as a standalone buy/sell signal will lead to poor judgment.
The points to keep in mind are as follows.
- Decide first the purpose of looking at your feet.
- Do not mix time axis and amount of funds
- Check not only good materials but also negative materials
- When using NISA and long-term funds, consider how to handle losses
- When in doubt, reduce your position or postpone it.
The more knowledge you have, the safer it seems, but in the market it can become dangerous if you use it incorrectly. It is realistic to treat harami-ashi as a tool to pause before buying or selling, rather than as a word that forces you to make a hasty decision.
