Long story short: after hundreds of hours in python, I finally have a few objective strategies.
It feels so bizarre when I was thinking of placing a trade based on the strategy, because the strategy is almost literally the opposite of what I’m used to thinking and doing for the past two years (and my P/L the last two years has been shit).
Just wondering if anyone has a similar experience (trading a while with no real strategy or at least a terrible one, finding a strategy that worked on backtesting, and finding it awkward to place trades b/c it feels almost the opposite of what you’d been doing)?
(I.e. my strategy involves selling a credit spread that on casual inspection I’d be like “hell no!”)
It took me years of perfecting, calibrating & simplifying my strategy till I truly felt comfortable. I also try to keep my mind open to new ideas and concepts as well. I have a couple long-term positions I wheel, but my daytrading account is where I try to make a consistent weekly profit. My main approach has just fading overbought/oversold conditions , but just in December I’ve been experimenting with ATM strangles, and I’ve had a pretty good amount of success. To make sure each trade is small enough to manage. No reason to risk your whole account on one decision.
