In this video, we review the “Out Of Sample” results of the RSI strategy that was introduced several months ago.
Which would you rather have? 38% win rate or a 68% win rate. Nobody likes to lose. In school we’re taught that getting 38% of your answers right is called “failing”. But what if the 38% probably rate gave you profits 20% more of the time? Check out these charts to see what I mean… …

When traders are struggling to get results, I often hear a story that goes something like this: I’ve tried a lot of different strategies. They just weren’t right for me. I’m sure they work for other people but I’m still looking for something that will work consistently for me. The desire here is for two …
Many traders and investors are desperately hunting for a “high win rate” or “high probability strategies”. I was once very attracted to the notion of winning 80%, 90%, 95% even 99% of trades. But what if your 90% win-rate still left you with losses? It’s not that hard to imagine and many traders and investors …

The stock market is shacking off a lot of uncertainty indicating no short term reason to expect sideways or bearish price action. We’re at 33% long exposure to long equities (with a normal range of 15% to 50%). Chasing strength in the stock market is a bit risky at this point, but we can turn …
I used to be one of those investors on the hunt for the best strategies and the next big “edge” in the market. I wanted to find what was working and then scale it up to huge size for massive profit. But I soon realized that big size also means big risk. So I was …
How much do you think a great trader makes each year, on average? 20%? 80%? 200%? What if I told you it’s not like that at all? Professional traders and money managers sometimes talk about percentages, but this is not the real game they play. Percentages are just a measuring tool for comparison. You cannot transfer “%” …

Easily, the #1 question received from traders is How can I be a more consistent trader? Consistency is the thing on the minds of traders more than anything else about trading. Yeah… even more than profits. Why? Because traders have seen profits. They aren’t unaware of what it’s like to win. They are, however, often …
I often reference the concept of True Diversification to my clients and fellow traders. Which often brings back questions about the meaning of that term. First we’ll contrast true diversification to traditional diversification, which is simply owning/investing in a lot of different things. True diversification goes beyond “owning” and brings in short selling, income strategies, directional, multiple time frames, multiple strategy types, …
Do you find deploying a strategy challenging? I do. This may be because I have to accept the strategy as it is today, not the perfect, pristine baby first imagined. These last couple of weeks I have spent working on both SSJ and SSK to get them prepared for release. After trading the SSJ live …

Have you ever quit a strategy only to see the next trade win? I have.

What’s your plan for trading in 2019? I’ve never met a trader who wanted to repeat what they did the previous year — whether they were tremendously profitable or had a terrible year. Traders want to grow — to move from one stage of performance to the next. Improvement in trading has three major components: …
