TRADING SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Build your strategy into a repeatable system with an edge.
Turning your understanding of the market directly into a repeatable system is extremely important.
Many traders already have rules, but because those rules aren't repeatable, their testing comes down to pure chance, and as a result, so do their live trading results.
This isn't a question of how large a sample size you collect.
Because if the rules themselves aren't repeatable, even testing on a large sample size comes down to chance.
Many people may be thinking, “But I already have rules I can follow without hesitation.”
But a repeatable rule is not the same as a rule you never hesitate to follow.
Many traders believe that once their entry and exit rules are set, they have rules, but it isn't that simple.
Of course, once those two are set, you can test them, and testing will produce some kind of result.
But that alone doesn't make them repeatable.
Nothing is more wasteful than trusting results that aren't repeatable and trading on them again and again in live trading for a long time.
The rules you believe in drain your account right in front of your eyes, and little by little your trust falls apart.
“After all that testing, why is this happening?” Doubts like this slowly make you stop trusting testing itself.
But that doesn't mean testing is meaningless.
It means your rules aren't repeatable.
This is truly frightening.
Because no matter how much you test, in live trading you are essentially using a completely unknown system.
What matters is that your rules follow the underlying principles of the market, and that those principles (the reasons and hypotheses behind them) can be repeated.
This isn't about whether or not you hesitate, but about solving the problem most traders find hard to even notice, that “even if you never hesitated, your rules still wouldn't be repeatable.”
The reason I'm stressing this so strongly is that I myself suffered from this problem for a long time.
In my 18 years of trading, I have run more tests than anyone, over and over again.
And of everything I struggled with, the hardest was this “repeatability problem.”
“Why doesn't it play out the way the tests did, even though I tested on a large sample size?”
“Of course I understand that probability takes a different path to converge every time. But this is so different it's practically another system.”
I went through this again and again.
And that is exactly why I believe the blueprint I spent so many years building will be valuable to the many traders who have already studied the market.
This is not content that simply hands you my strategy, so please do not buy it if all you expect is to copy a strategy.
But if you already have a strategy, if you already hold even a fragment of understanding about the market, this content will surely take you up several levels as a trader.
I created this in the hope that it will help the many people who are still not succeeding as traders.
I would be glad if you put it to good use.
