Why Your Trading Results Have Nothing To Do With Your Strategy
Find out more about me here: https://linktr.ee/keeleytan Earlier this week, a friend of mine showed me his "proven" strategy. When I asked to see his backtested results, he sent me an excel sheet with 20 trades. He told me it’s working great so far. A few years ago, I was like him. I thought that trading in a live environment was the best way to learn. That mindset cost me over $10,000 and it nearly ended my trading career before it really began. When I first started trading, I was confident in myself. I deposited $5,000 into a live account. I have no backtesting results to fall back on. My first few trades were winners. I felt like a genius.

His strategy wasn't the problem, his inconsistency was killing his results. I know exactly how this feels. Five years ago, I was the same trader. One month I'd make 20% returns, feeling like I'd finally cracked the code. The next month, I'd lose 30%, wondering what went wrong. This cycle continued until I lost over $10,000 and nearly quit trading altogether. If you're finding yourself on this emotional rollercoaster, stick with me. I share weekly insights about transforming your trading psychology in my newsletter. But first, let me show you what's really happening in your trading. The Hidden Pattern Mo
