Thinking about how trading strategies need to always be changed and how one strategy may not work for a long time, what do you do with the strategy that you are about to change. do you just forget about it completely once a new strategy starts working for you? or do you keep it in remembrance for the future. If you have experienced this before; has any old trading strategy that you decided to apply work for you? Is it possible that old strategies may work in the future again?

That's an interesting question I haven't really thought about. Financial markets are very dynamic and fast changing, if there is a profitable trading strategy we will see many different traders copying it until it becomes less profitable and traders move on. That's why it's always important to check our own strategies regularly and see if market conditions changed and we are losing money. With that in mind old strategies could become profitable if they are abandoned by all traders again. The thing with my trading strategies is that I don't really have a fixed one, I use a wide range of technical indicators to get trading signals. And these indicators I switch from time to time depending on the current market situation. In bear markets where prices are moving much faster I tend to use mostly short term indicators, and during bull markets I focus more on longterm trend analysis. Maybe now with the rise of AI we can have a program that constantly evaluates all our past strategies and ranks them based on profitability.
