Why is strategy testing important for a trader?
Hey everyone, I wanted to share something that happened to me recently. A few months ago, I was trading without really testing my strategy. I thought I had a solid plan, but every time I placed a trade, the results were all over the place. Some wins, some losses, but no consistency. Eventually, I realized I was making decisions based on emotions rather than logic. That’s when I started looking into strategy testing. But here’s the thing—how do you even know if your strategy is truly reliable? I mean, is backtesting enough, or should you also do something else?
