My trading improved big time when I:

  • Focused on one trading method I believed in.
  • Always had a reason before making a trade
  • Did backtesting to fine-tune my strategy.
  • Got a handle on my emotions

My trading improved when I focused on the process more then the profits.
What came naturally after that decision was to increase timeframes, slowdown, do a top down analysis and execute only on pairs where I know something is going to happen.

Do you actually test the strat for 20 or 50 or 100 trades before you say it doesn’t really work? Do you have strict rules and parameters that you follow every trade? Do you know how the strat enters and exits the trade?
Stick to the simplest rules and adjust as you go. There is no one size fits all type of trading. You study and perfect the basics and add your own “flair” to it. Just my 2 cents :sweat_smile:
