💡 하나의 매매 전략, 어떻게 꾸준히 지켜내시나요?

When you trade and backtest and see what's possible that's what keeps a lot of us in the game. Now there is a negative with backtesting that does come into effect. Say you go on a backtesting losing streak, you're able to keep pressing skip and then you hit your eventual winning streak. Little do you realize- in real life that losing streak of let's say 3 trades can span 3 weeks (assuming that's your setup frequency). In backtesting that takes minutes to skip over, in reality- you're 3 weeks without a winning trade. That can be detrimental to your psychology. But the positive side of backtesting- you know over time your strategy IS profitable and you have to keep shooting your shot (as long as your strategy is repeatable and profitable in the long run). You don't realize this when in streaks. But like top down analysis- you need to zoom out! Remember when you got into trading- you didn't even know what a candle was, market structure, order flow etc. Just keep leveling up and hang in there!

Intraday trend momentum. 4 years day trading for a living. I used to trade through drawdowns and got my ass absolutely handed to me several times before I realised that the issue was the market conditions and trading when they weren’t right for my approach. Now if the conditions aren’t right I stay away, often for days at a time and sometimes even a week or two.

My advice is figure out which market conditions you should and shouldn’t be trading in, as that is likely the main contributor to your frustration.

I started with one strategy and when that would stop working I would study the change in the market and adapt a new strategy. Over the years I've built a playbook of maybe 10-15 different strategies. I'm not trading all of them all the time, but when the winds change I dust off the playbook. How long you stick with something isn't up to you, it's up to the market.

Strategy doesnt matter, Psychology does. Remeber, not every strategy is 100% winrate, not even quants guarantee 100% as well with their strategies.

Track every trade on a spreadsheet. Filter out what consistently works and what doesn’t over a long period of time. Adjust accordingly. Don’t just change something if one trade loses. Just keep tracking and monitoring. I averaged 86% win rate for 2025 with many months over 90% win rate and i put that down to this one thing…. Tracking data!
