A trading strategy should demonstrate profitability in at least 100 historical instances on a specific currency pair and timeframe before being added to a portfolio.
"I need to see 100 instances of that strategy playing out that rules-based objective strategy playing out and giving me a profit before I can add that pair to my portfolio."
Trading Strategy
Pending
To fix a strategy problem, traders should create or learn a strategy with clear conditions, entries, stops, and targets. Then, they must backtest this strategy 100 times per currency pair and timeframe to identify the most profitable pairs.
"If you feel like your problem is with a strategy then create a strategy or learn one that has solid and easy to follow conditions entry stops and targets then take that rules-based strategy write every one of those rules down write down all of your conditions all your entry reasons whether you have one or multiple write down your stop placement and your target payment placement based on all that information go through historic data 100 times per pair in time frame you want to test that on pick out the best pairs that worked and then your strategy problem will be completely solved."
Trading Strategy
Pending
With a 50% win rate, traders must consider how much money they are willing to lose per trade, analogous to flipping a coin.
"Most strategies most professional traders most traders in general win about 50 of the time so if you're going to be winning and losing 50 of your trades you need to think about that as in how much money are you willing to lose when you're flipping a quarter"
Trading Risk Management
Pending
If a trader experiences five consecutive losses while risking 2% per trade, they face a 10% drawdown, and should assess their comfort level with this outcome.
"if it's five losses in a row and you're risking two percent five times that two percent means a ten percent drawdown are you okay with that"
Trading Risk Management
Pending
A strategy with 50% accuracy and a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio has approximately a 50% chance of resulting in 10 consecutive losses.
"you may have a strategy that's 50 accurate with a two to one risk reward and with that being the case that strategy is really likely to lose there's like a 50 chance with those numbers just trust me on math here with those numbers there's a really good chance you lose 10 trades in a row it's about a 50 chance you lose 10 trades in a row"
Trading Risk Management
Pending
Risking 10% per trade and experiencing 10 consecutive losses, which has a 50% probability for certain strategy types, will lead to account blowup.
"if you have a 50 chance of losing big l here 10 trades in a row and you're someone that doesn't have good risk management and you're risking 10 per trade and you end up losing those 10 trades in a row what happens you no longer have an account"
Trading Risk Management
Pending
To build a career in trading, one must possess a profitable strategy, a sound risk management plan, and maintain discipline.
"if you want to create a career out of trading then that's the path i'm trying to show you in order to do that you must have a strategy that makes money over time a good risk management plan and you must stay disciplined to those things"
Trading Discipline
Pending
Discipline in trading becomes significantly easier when combined with effective risk management and a proven, historically profitable strategy.
"staying disciplined gets a lot easier when you have a good risk management plan staying disciplined is much easier when you've back tested the strategy and you've seen that it makes profit in historic data staying discipline is almost inevitable once you have those two things combined"
Trading Success
Pending
A trader is destined to fail if they have a non-profitable strategy, poor risk management leading to emotional decisions and account blowup, or if they cannot maintain discipline in these areas.
"if anyone any trader out there has a mistake in one of these three areas these are the top three signs that a traitor will fail a strategy that doesn't make money or they can't stick to a risk management plan that's not good for their personality and causes them to get emotional and to even worse blow their entire account or if they can't stay disciplined to those two things they inevitably will fail"
