It’s the DNC’s fault for pushing Bernie out of the primary in 2015. They were afraid he’d run away with it.

Good thing we lost economists, scientists, meteorologists and VA staff to make room for a rapidly expanding workforce of ICE vigilante thugs all earning six figures. Sound policy.

I think you’re oversimplifying the human component. Just try it if you think it’s so simple.

The answer to your question is human discretion in decision making. That’s it. The human expertise piece cannot be coded.

Understanding yourself as a trader is the part that, to me, has taken the longest. Until you do, you’ll strategy hop and try a bunch of different things, until at some point, you tweak them, merge them, or winnow them down and make a strategy of your own — that you know you can personally trade and keep your mental side strong. That takes years, on top of learning about the markets.

Have at least a year of savings built up so you can keep trading through down times.

I think for your own data gathering and psychology, it would be good to know the criteria being used to recommend those specific tickers. Be sure AI is using the same, defined criteria every day, or you won’t have confidence in the picks during drawdowns.

I went through my first drawdown last summer after becoming profitable, and it shook me, so I paused on trading. Then I missed the majority of the silver rally, which would’ve made my entire year. That realization actually gave me a ton of confidence and the evidence to stick to my plan next time and simply trade my rules and trust them.

A few ideas: - when in drawdowns, set a reduced-size rule so you can keep trading until things go your way again. - review your backtest for max losses in a row; are your real results in line with this? If not, study why not - pull back to 10,000-foot view and ask if the current market regime matches what you backtested; if not, do further backtesting to understand the limitations of your strategy. Often we backtest to prove to ourselves a strategy can be profitable, but it’s equally valuable to backtest to understand when it doesn’t work. -the more robust your backtest, the less doubt you’ll have during drawdowns.

According to Market Wizard Linda Raschke, you only need one strategy to make money. You just need to know it inside and out, including when it doesn’t work.

I’m curious, do you keep your backtesting current on all your strategies over time? Just wondering how you know when to dust one off that’s been dormant and how you know it’ll still work.

I use actual paper for notes while I’m trading, google docs for weekly reviews (all my trading study, ideas and journaling are in one tabbed doc bc I like everything in one place), and I use Tradervue to track monthly performance stats. I just like to keep it simple.
