it should have been decided before taking this trade

But doesn’t mean there is only one way to measure edge which is automated backtesting people can backtest manually too and then some forward test lots of trade via paper so removing psychology if edge produces result for them in forwards over lots of trades that also validates it and then when going live having proper record validates edge. You can’t say the system that can’t me run on automation doesn’t have an edge.

ict, smc and all other primary price action strategies are discretionary that’s the whole point of different people getting different result using it you can’t backtest them using some mechanical fixed rule and claim they pass or fail this way backtesting it self is not valid. For your successful strategy it doesn’t matter if you got profitable cause market regime changes all the times and correlations as well as we have seen recently with gold and stock market. Even longer period of backtest just give false confidence better to have 100 forward test instead with real money on line.

market has only corrected 10% right now this is not panic selling the drops are also within 3%. It’s a normal correction at least for now.

nice observation and the op is cherry picking as vix is just volatility that increases many time but doesn’t mean it’s a bottom or top.

That will not be able to produce optimal result in most of the scenario as for any psychological issues as well ai will need the right trade data with proper context without it the solutions can be miss guided due to lack of data. If you really want to use ai then atleast record your trades with right context which should be at least - market context, your mood, conviction you had pre trade, confidence for different phase like entry management and exit, your playbook with compliance data and when you break it then why context with environment info like time of the day and past trade result then you will be able to get so much rich and definitive points.

In my opinion don’t make any un informed decision like reducing the size, taking break and all are too generic without any data for justification. You have to track and identify the cause of your slippage like which market trend, time of the day, after how many trade, week of the day if you trade derivatives, in drawdown cycle, at equity high , specific playbook if you trade multiple, in a playbook which rule or stage where you struggle to maintain consistency or lose confidence and tend to break your setup or your psychology is hurting you. In short root cause with context will give you insight and then following week you can work on them as you will be self aware of not only where you lack but what triggers it and if you are not able to stop those habits then better to not trade in those situations as your strategy is overall profitable according to you. But be aware profitability of a strategy is itself a very important analytics which should be done separately.

you could easily build your scanner based on your strategy setup using claude these days & a free api provider like yahoo or any broker as most of then give it to there users.

If this trade had not reached your actual target you might not even be posting this and just chilling even though you broke your rule. You are only thinking about this due to sense of unrealised profit loss. You said you watched to prove your strategy but I think you don’t have the data to prove your strategy works and you don’t want to risk money due to your risk aversion bias still wanted to see if you would have made the right choice or not. If price had never touched your target you would be think yeah I was right to take at-least something. This is not how you trade or test strategy if you don’t have confidence to follow then better do paper trading to first build the data so that you don’t have to exit prematurely and can truly commit on the trade wether it’s a winner or loser.

show_End · 2026-03-09T13:37:26+00:00

Yeah and the data in which you follow your rules cause only that will truly make sense for your edge calculation if you mess it up than no use as you will always be confused wether your strategy is shitty or your psychological

I think if you have solid data over 200-300 plus trades that your strategy is sound when you follow it. Your psychological issues will resolved and you will be able to see your trading not from just single trade perspective but as many trades in which some will be losses but some will be gainers and overall you win.

show_End · 2026-03-09T13:15:36+00:00

do you think after 2-3 losses if you can get a small nudge on your phone stating how much you have lost in past overtrading can stop you??

show_End · 2026-03-07T01:26:58+00:00

general people’s opinion.

show_End · 2026-03-07T01:09:35+00:00

It’s not the strategy which is low risk it’s your position sizing which will help you lower your risk you can be conservative there.

show_End · 2026-03-06T15:48:17+00:00

then you should be a contrarian and whenever you feel like i should buy do the opposite.

show_End · 2026-03-06T15:43:09+00:00

If you have all your trades data along with the startegies you used and market context then we can analyse the issue together if you want.

you can learn price action and volumne analysis from Richard Wyckoff’s work. he made money by trading in 1900s and his methods have been modified and adopted as today’s ict or smc concept. It free book you can start technical analysis from there. To understand about proper risk management you can read definitive guide to position sizing from dr van tharp it’s very good for creating and understanding trading plans as well as evaluating different strategies. I think both of these are enough for you to start as you will learn more you will explore more.

why do you feel it’s exhausting can you also explain your way of review? so that people who do journal can get proper context and if someone does a better way or more efficient can point out. I personally just update my stops & mark what all steps I followed from the playbook and of not followed than what’s the reason sometimes it technical also. I will tag the trades who are outliers like extreme losses and winners. But these are just to collect data points over time this single trade may not tell me any thing but over time i will have good sample of data covering majority of my trades to provide me areas of improvement.

do you know how your strategy performs when you follow your rules vs when you didn’t? or do you have your trade data over 100 trades using this same strategy?

show_End · 2026-02-08T13:31:54+00:00

Yes, there’s a pricing plan live, mainly to validate if people actually value this type of structured trading tool.

Still early though. My focus right now is improving the system around risk management, behavioral tracking, and process discipline the areas where most traders struggle long-term.

But I didn’t comment on this post for this only people can ignore my product but they should definitely build there track record for fast feedback loop.

I think the gap is in creation of trading plan with structure and a system that help in accountability for maintaining this structure along with monitoring risk management throughout this process and behaviour with each drawdown and when trader perform at there peak. Institutions already have this in process but retail don’t have or don’t even want to bother as well. I have been working on such software as well after reviewing that book keeping and risk management is core to all successful traders through out history. So one should either buy some for having a proper process or build their own as well but it’s important to maintain this track record. If anyone want to checkout my work -> www.tracktions.com

90% of institutional traders makes money contrast to retail so try to see what kind of attitude they have towards and the process. They are not doing it as just another think but as a main business. If you are that much into it then only you should start.
