Do you hop from strategy to strategy?

Can’t find consistent results?

Here's a step by step plan to fix that
👇👇👇

Before we dive into how to fix it, we need to understand WHY we do this.

I’ve done it before, most people do it. It’s a common fault of trading.
The reason we do this is because we don’t have the confidence in a strategy that actually works.

What do I mean by works?🧐

I mean something that has been PROVEN and BACKTESTED to be profitable✅
For example, you may be trading inside day breakouts. What is the win% of that strategy?

What’s the average risk/reward ratio?

If there’s no way to define those numbers, you are gambling 🎲
Now we have addressed the problem.

Let’s get into how we fix it👇
1. Understand yourself🔑

You first need to understand YOUR style of trading. Are you able to hold onto positions for a long time? Or do you prefer getting in and out within minutes?

Are you able to take some drawdown while in your trades? Or you like to be in profit instantly?
2. Select your style🤪

Successful traders don’t use multiple strategies. They focus on one strategy/setup that works for them.

Use the answers from Step 1 to pick your style (Scalping, swing trading, futures, options, etc.)👇
3. Find your strategy📈

For this step you will need to pick your strategy. How will you get in? How will you get out?

Do you use indicators? Look at order flow? Options flow? Supply/Demand?

Find your strategy and create a specific set of rules as to how it operates.
P.S.

If you need help finding a strategy, check the pinned tweet to my profile. It’s the strategy that’s allowed me to trade full time for the past 3 years 💸
4. Backtest📝

This is the time where you see if your strategy works. Win rate? R/R?

The most important part is seeing if your strategy is PROFITABLE in the long run
5. Trade 💰

If your strategy is profitable, then trade it! ONLY trade that one setup and watch the results come in over time ⏳

If your strategy isn’t profitable… repeat step 3.

OR… 👇
Use another strategy that is already working.

It could be from another trader on twitter (I like to think I’m pretty good 😂) or it could be an automated strategy you find online.

Whatever it is, make sure it’s backtested and proven to be profitable🔑

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
The chorus of this song uses the shlokas taken from Sundarkand of Ramayana.

It is a series of Sanskrit shlokas recited by Jambavant to Hanuman to remind Him of his true potential.

1. धीवर प्रसार शौर्य भरा: The brave persevering one, your bravery is taking you forward.


2. उतसारा स्थिरा घम्भीरा: The one who is leaping higher and higher, who is firm and stable and seriously determined.

3. ुग्रामा असामा शौर्या भावा: He is strong, and without an equal in the ability/mentality to fight

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.
