🎯 트레이딩에서 진짜 '엣지'는 전략이 아닐 수도 있다?

Edge just means your trading plan has positive expected value. This generally refers to your strategy, but having the discretion of when to implement that strategy is part of the edge. For example, let's say your strategy is to buy pullbacks to the 20 EMA in trending environments. This strategy can definitely have edge, but only if the trader has the discretion to trade the right names in the right conditions and sit on their hands the rest of the time.

Think about it this way… If you can’t explain your strategy quickly and precisely and SIMPLY…. You have no edge

What is an edge? (This is a very general description) How you pull money out of the market aaaaaaaaaaaaand how you minimize losses.

—most people forget that last part

Jus my being real there is no “edge” what your looking for.

Your edge is almost never a specific strategy. Your edge comes from analyzing your trades and knowing what you should trade and when you should trade it. Taking your statistics and removing the parts that cause you to lose more than you win.

If you trade all day and you realize that after 11:30 you lose 62% of the time and before that you win 74% of the time, if you cut out trading after 11:30 you are all of a sudden going to be making way more money than you were trading the exact same strategy. That's where the edge usually comes from. And part of its risk management and knowing when to walk away how much to risk and such.

You can also gain an edge from watching the market live, you gain a feel for it
