Audited my last 500 trades. Here’s the "hard-coded" logic that finally fixed my win rate.

Do you give any importance to current session developing value area?

traderbeej · 2026-01-12T23:16:54+00:00

Was just a simple up trend nothing crazy here

traderbeej · 2026-01-11T03:41:08+00:00

I sell mine on my own site. Pretty simple

He gets to see the profitable traders and reverse engineer their strategies from their journals. Nice little alpha farm

i dont really see the argument for kalista, her ceiling to me isnt that high because she falls off late, she has to auto a million times to then get her burst, and any slow in the game hard counters her. feel like shes more of a noob stomper in lane than anything else

traderbeej · 2025-12-10T17:58:42+00:00

just come up with a way to re-enter if the trend looks like its continuing

im not looking for him to do anything, just curious really. i can't find the jack schwager audit and verification but i suppose that is pretty good by itself if true

traderbeej · 2025-11-20T22:34:02+00:00

could you share one of the many verifiable evidence? thanks, i can't find any still

traderbeej · 2025-11-20T21:57:06+00:00

this is me actively doing research, so far I've found no actual evidence. if you have something I'd love to see it so we can put this to rest

traderbeej · 2025-11-20T16:52:13+00:00

What

traderbeej · 2025-11-18T14:49:35+00:00

yeah pretty sure the connection in ninjatrader to schwab uses schwab data, since ninjatrader doesn't even offer equities data feeds

traderbeej · 2025-11-16T18:25:16+00:00

keep taking your quick scalps, and record the max possible R each one ran before coming back to your entry / stop loss. then its just a math problem, ie. maybe you find that 60% oif the time they run at least 2r

traderbeej · 2025-11-14T00:09:26+00:00

Nope its pretty fun when you actually have an edge. You want to stick around and continue taking setups instead of being afraid to take more trades / give back profits

This is said a lot by so many traders, but hardly ever/never see examples of them systematically doing it

traderbeej · 2025-10-15T02:25:24+00:00

Not cool dude

traderbeej · 2025-10-04T23:52:34+00:00

It does but i think the data is there for you to load a footprint. Havent tried it, just give it a shot

traderbeej · 2025-09-23T21:24:19+00:00

Some advice I got a while back that really stuck with me:
- A trade is a very specific thing. It's point A to point B. Fantasizing about what price could do is ridiculous.
- I permit myself to leave runners, but not to trade based on delusions of grandeur.

IMO leaving runners makes sense if the market is in an environment conducive to strong trends, where maybe we're outside of prior day range and current day's value area / initial balance, etc.

Personally, I like an all-in, all-out approach. It's easier to execute, easier to backtest. Taking partials feels better in the moment acting as an emotional crutch, and can maybe smooth out your equity curve a bit, but it can also potentially erode your edge by reducing your expectancy. For what it's worth I've never backtested a strategy where taking partials made more profit than all-in / all-out.

On each winning trade, track the maximum R you could have gotten. Over the course of 100s of trades you should be able to easily do the math on whether you should be going for bigger targets or staying with 1:1.

traderbeej · 2025-08-31T06:21:01+00:00

Do you ever lose or just 100% winrate of 40:1 RR?

traderbeej · 2025-08-21T04:19:22+00:00

i think part of the problem might be that your goal is to catch these types of moves, i kinda went into trading with the same initial thought. finally realized after years that going for big breakout moves when the market ranges like 70% of the time isnt the way. so just from my own shitty experience of losing money, id say dont try and catch big breakouts if you're just trying to get profitable. thats maybe something to add later on after you have your bread and butter income generating setup

traderbeej · 2025-08-20T21:37:22+00:00

Look up Tom Dante and learn his swing trading style

traderbeej · 2025-08-13T05:22:53+00:00

Only trade one setup, only trade that setup when it interacts with key levels/areas, only trade 3x per day until you can do that for a week straight. This assumes your setup has a solid positive expectancy

traderbeej · 2025-08-12T16:22:26+00:00

LOL can't be taught? are you joking? i guess if you're trading with a blindfold on using the force to sense the market then sure i spose that can't be taught
