THE 6 MOST IMPORTANT REVERSAL PATTERNS 📈
$BTC is printing the accumulation pattern right now, for example 👀
I explained each of these patterns in depth in @Chroma_Trading if you want to learn more 📚
One of the most impactful changes in my trading journey has been committing to both pre-trade and post-trade reviews.
The post-trade review I believe is where the real insights emerge and where meaningful growth takes place.
I’ve built a comprehensive catalog of charts, setups, and trade examples in Evernote - I took a leaf out of Creds book with the personal discord journal recommendation from several years ago (cheers Cred)
Many aspiring traders will spend hundreds of dollars each month on trading paid services, yet neglect the most valuable practice of all = reviewing their own performance and narrowing the range of variance.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. If I were just starting out as a trader, I’d revisit this several times, take notes as it offers a wealth of insight for newer traders or those still working to gain consistency.
It’s exactly the kind of perspective that would have been invaluable early in my journey.
Watch it, then watch it again.
Repetition
Volatility Regimes
Backtest
Forward Test
Depth of Sample – 100s of reps on one structure (e.g. trend continuation - backtest - then forward.
Execution – Build the play, then run it.
Review – What hit? What missed?
Focus – Stop chasing noise or spending years learning about every ounce of techincal aspects of trading. Lock onto core strategies - then tweak them - think Atomic Habits - read the book - very good.
Context – Know the environment. Spot the A++ setups.
Get the sample size in = proven +EV then size up.
Its not easy - but many dont want to put the work in.
The above isnt exhaustive.

You can’t scale variance
Trader 1 wins the challenge
Trader 2 wins the career
Once some degree of profitability is found, the instinct is to scale aggressively, but without controlling variance, the PnL swings become unsustainable alongside the development of psychological scars that undermine future performance.
Once an edge is established, variance is what tests your discipline.
