Yes but that’s a blueprint you should ONLY follow if your plan/model is DATA DRIVEN .
Even if you respect what he said religiously you’re set for failure if you don’t have enough data about your model that allow you to trust it blindly for 5 years even when losses occur.
One thing I’m noticing while backtesting indexes, compared to forex, is that more than often you can be in hugeeee drawdowns on your positions but still hit TP straight after.
Most on the time on forex if you’re about to hit SL, it will not reverse.
@obajuwojp A theory that all big players position themselves during the first m15-m30 after market open. If we close above the first candle of the open it means bullishness, if below then bearishness.
You need to backtest to realize that your model ain’t shit without context, structure, orderflow ,time etc
So yes you need to put in the hours and yes you will be rewarded for your time sooner than you can realize
Lots of trader influencers are pushing the idea that
“as a trader you’re not rewarded for the time you put in ”
“ just stick to your system”
“psychology is 90% of the work”
Sorry but those are completely false ideas, cause of the main fact that most trading system SUCKS
If you actually backtest most models on years of data (what I’ve been doing for months now)
they pretty much are all absolute shit(less than 30-35% WR)
So just “sticking to your model” without back testing it on a ton of data, even if you make money,is just you being lucky.
