@samuraipips358 Yes, I am so surprised that after going through backtesting, my strategy allows for more position size than I thought earlier, and even my max size which I thought I should not exceed is now conservative because I now have hand tested statistics that I trust
@samuraipips358 What sample size can be considered enough? I have manually tested trades worth 5 years of calendar time based on the frequency that I expect to trade in live environment. I have covered various market regimes as well.
@samuraipips358 Yumi, thank you for your time and consistency of posting this knowledge, everyday your posts keep me on track. X algorithm shows me your post first every day I wake up. I read it and I appreciate what you teach.
@mwebster1971 Hello Sir, Please explain in a focussed session on how you increase position size as the price moves? I get how you decrease with Quick, Quicksand and Grateful Dead rules, thanks to the video you made, but I don't get how you increase the position size, do you have a framework?
@samuraipips358 Read your books 3x times, then I understood what is needed. My first honest backtesting with my hands started on Nov 20, 2025 and I had to iterate 3x, now after 7 months of repeated practice/backtests, I can firmly say I reached the backtesting objective I have set for myself.๐
@samuraipips358 Should the sample size be larger if the trade duration is lower? How much sample size is enough? If the strategy is expected to create 300 trades a year, will 1500 trades be enough?
@mwebster1971@IBDinvestors@AlissaCoram Thanks for sharing this indicator and detailed explanation!!! Now I want to know the nuances of using this with Stocks :) please !
@mwebster1971 I just finished watching the Bob Weir special - Monthly stock character video, and put AI to work , results dont look bad after 2 iterations of guiding it. I will watch the Bob Marley one tomorrow! I am just amazed to know how much I didnt know. Thank you so much
@mwebster1971@IBDinvestors@AlissaCoram And this holds true for you as well? Or at some point in early trading journey, you felt you have tightened enough areas that you stuck to a certain core set of rules? I mean thereโs always some thing to improve but that first moment when you felt that you have the right base?
