If your average profitable trade is 3xce your losing trades, and you know how to not take stupid trades in between, you’ve cracked the game.
Obv there’s gonna be days where you have home runs, and do 5-6x… goal is to make the average far outweigh the losses
Reminds me that there were times I had this feeling..and before that phase, I actually took trades as soon as market https://t.co/6vq20LU3um I don’t have this anymore (feeling excited and def the behavior of immediately checking charts wanting to trade). Realitycheck of progress
The markets are open again and people can't wait to make a trade, waiting for the dopamine hit.
Calm down dude, you literally need a handful of trades per month to generate very good results.
A slow & stable equity curve is the goal.
List for Traders to Read on Tuesday:
- Monday's wins and losses are irrelevant. Don't think about not wanting to lose or wanting to recoup losses.
- Probability works in the long run, don't get discouraged or excited now.
- All wins and losses that follow the rules are necessary for probability to work.
- Losing is not bad, not following the rules is bad.
- Don't have any expectations for the market, just obediently follow it.
- Not trading doesn't mean laziness. Follow the rules and pass on trades.
- Missed opportunities don't damage your trading sample. Don't rush to chase them and introduce impurities into the trading sample you're collecting.
- Don't monitor the P/L of your held positions. It only increases the risk of making decisions based on P/L instead of rules.
- Prioritize rules above all else. The moment you prioritize wins and losses over rules, you've given up the edge of the system.
- The trading samples under the same conditions needed for probability to work are gathered through consistency.
- Believe in the edge of the system you tested in advance. Believe in the law of probability. The edge appears in the long run.
- You are constantly being tested for consistency by losing streaks and drawdowns. Don't easily change strategies.
- Don't try to win, don't try to avoid losing, think of nothing other than following the rules.
The past months I've been digging and digging further into my edge (asia purge and revert on EU)..I still don't like the backtesting but it's necessary. Two more backtest tasks on my to do list and then I'm finished🔥
