Traders always want to find a strategy with a 100% win rate. A strategy so good that it eliminates the risk of losing money. This is a myth. There is no such thing as a 100% win rate strategy. The best strategy is actually following your current one. Wether that be following signals, trading Moving Averages or following advanced trend following models.
If you’ve tested your strategy and found it profitable, stick to it. The biggest limiting factor on your profits is not the strategy itself. It's you. Yes, you. You are killing your own returns.
Every strategy has bad trades. There's no light without dark. Aggressive strategies give you very good entries, but this comes at the cost of a lot of false signals. Slower strategies give you accurate signals, but this comes with the cost of slow signals. There is no perfect strategy. If you are losing money, it's because you are not following your own strategies correctly. Ask yourself: 'Am I always taking the trades my strategy tells me to?' You are most likely not doing this. When you actually start to take every trade your strategy tells you to, you will find that you are way more profitable than you thought. This is a really important subject, 90% of traders fuck up on this. Following your strategy will make you rich, while cheating it will make you poor.
Live by this rule. It can be very tempting to not follow your strategies, because 'this other coin is just really good'. Don't do this. Keep autistically following your strategy. The market will reward you for it. There are not a lot of traders who can pull it off. Be different.
