왜 트레이더들은 한 가지 전략과 하루에 1~3번의 거래만 추천할까? 🤔

Because 99% can't even be profitable with 1 strategy let alone 2-3. Why do people only take a couple trades per day? Because there aren't hundreds of setups that you have an edge on per day. And locking in profit and limiting losses is impprtant psychologically.

Because a boring strategy that just works means you’re doing it right. Just like boring investing via automated DCA means you’re investing correctly. Trying to micromanage your strategy throughout the day leads to mental fatigue - and you’re really not as smart as you think you are when your EQ is running on fumes.

I can only share from my experience, but typically the days I take more trades I usually give back profits or go red. Also, if I start the day red and try to make it back sometimes what happens is I make the losses bigger because I’ll over leverage trying to make it all back. So for me it’s better to get out of the markets when green, or walk away with a loss and try not to add to it

Because more trades = more tilt. Intraday price action is mostly random and you just get dollar signs in your eyes and end up making poor decisions. If you zoom out a bit, you notice the day usually only has one "big move" per day anyway.

A lot of traders on here don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about, in my experience. Because I say, deploy em if you got em. If you have something that works that often, you’d be a dumbass to not take advantage of it. However, I have never come across a strategy that profitable yet. Most of the best strategies I’ve ever seen are realistically only winning in the 40-60% range. The more strategies you backtest and live test, the more you realize that the golden goose numbers you are talking about just aren’t realistic for long term projections, and if they are, well, that’s the kind of thing people literally base entire trading firms around, and keep them secret/proprietary with lawyers backing them and security experts making sure their secrets don’t leak. On another note, the strategies that do have those kinds of numbers that retail traders might discover themselves, usually only present themselves on larger timeframes, meaning only 1-3 times a day just due to having to wait between setups, or that the setup itself is just so rare that it only comes up a couple times a day (if that). I only have two strategies that have over a 70% WR, and one only has 1-2 quality setups per day, and the other comes around like 1-2 times a week. Having multiple strategies is essential if you’re gonna really make some serious money, but it’s only worth doing it if you have the backtested data on your side, which is where the problems really occur, and why the statement has become a common piece of advice, but like any trading advice, not every piece of trading advice applies for every single person. The only rule that every single person should follow, is this rule: “Live to trade another day.”

From a psychological standpoint, humans are limited to a certain number of “good decisions” a day. That’s why we’ve always been told to knock out our hardest task, toughest thoughts first.

As a momentum day trader I usually take 2 to 30 or more trades a day. If I hit two losses in a row, I take a step back and step away from my computer for a few moments and then when I'm ready to train if I take a third loss I'm done for the day. If it's a cold Market after the second loss I'm done. Since I use a cash account, I usually run out of money before I have to quit due to losses.

Because consistency matters

Because consistency beats variety, especially early on. Each strategy has different setups, entry criteria, and market conditions it thrives in, trying to run three at once means you’re never deep enough in any of them to recognise when the setup is actually valid versus when you’re forcing it. On the trade frequency point, win rate doesn’t scale linearly like that. A 75% win rate assumes you’re only taking A-grade setups. Take 5 trades instead of 2 and you’re almost certainly dipping into B and C grade setups to fill the quota, which quietly destroys the win rate you thought you had. The traders who stick to 1-2 trades a day aren’t leaving money on the table, they’re protecting their edge by only deploying it when conditions are right. It clicks more once you’ve had a losing streak caused by overtrading. What strategies are you currently looking at?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

2-3 trades per day - because of transactional fees I believe. One cannot implement hundreds trades per day because the fees will gobble up the return.

Good question, I have found through my own journaling of trades that I am more profitable with taking 1-3 A+ trades than to take every trade that comes up. Mental capital is a real thing and it depletes fast when you are staring at charts for 6 hours. I use my own trading view indicator that I created that marks confluence levels and only take trades with multiple confluence and price action supports. I trade mostly break and retest, rejections and bounces, and one that I call advanced VWAP strategy.

Risk management.  If your strategy does work then it will show in 1-3 trades.  If that does work great, it should be no trouble growing a decent account with 1-3 trades. Theres a bit to say on risk reward, not wanting to be in the market too long daily based on decay, And other factors. But the core of it all is less sexy and less complicated and that should be what anyone goes after with this endeavor.

No clue. I take 20-30 trades per day. My losses are slightly bigger than my winners but still close to 1:1, 70% winrate. If you see edge, take it. Limiting your trades only limits your profits. If youre a good scalper, put more hours in, take more trades.

Because the longer you sit there, the more edge you lose. Your mind can’t stay super sharp for 8 hrs.

I follow one of the best traders that I’ve found in the past 2-3 years. He’s pretty damn accurate. Last Friday he had 12 wins and 3 losses. I try to grab 1-2 of his trades and be done for the day. Last 2 weeks he’s been on a heater. I made $1200 with him last week and I was going light. 2-3 contract trades. Sell 2 and hold a runner. https://preview.redd.it/otazp7cs06wg1.jpeg?width=1310&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd4b428791c39a8090e0b7000d6a338576389252

It’s all very subjective. You have to figure this part out yourself. Do what works for you. It’s good to make the mistakes now and learn from them. I’m sure we all have completely different opinions on this but one thing which is fundamental to all of us that are consistent and profitable is….we have rules and stick to them no matter what. Good luck.

It’s the mental load. You cannot manage that many strategies. Also they work more or less, it’s not free money, so many edges cases, you need depth expertise in different market types. You don’t get that by doing half bake stategies.

For beginner Don’t over trade found just A+ trade 3 time a day is enough..

I stick to my two A setups cuz my stats support it. My B setups, could develop into A plays if I spend god knows how many more hours and -$ to really master... but why bother at this point... i dont feel like spending another year or 3 to master these lesser setups when Ive got two A setups that work great for me. Man, I dont wanna break even for another friggin 3-4 yrs before seeing consistent profits, ive already spent over 3 yrs working on my current A's and all that hard work is finally starting to blossom. Not every setup is built the same. Just cuz a setup looks the same on 6 different charts, doesnt mean you're guaranteed your 75% win rate. U got different catalysts, different transactional history, different company portfolios, different players with different positions. If Ive got my green, I'll walk away without giving too much back Overtrading is mostly a reflection of negative emotions: boredom, fomo, revenge, trading PnL to make lost money back, greed... the turning point in my trading occurred when **I only started focusing on well executed trades**, and stopped trading PnL (I removed all PnL indicators off my screen while trading). Because of this shift in mindset, Im getting in 3-4 great trades per day (for my trading style its low) and its proving much more productive than taking 6-7. Quality over quantity
