What do you do to a trading strategy that already earns you a good percentage in profit. do you still try improving on it to ensure it does not fail? or do you let it be until it starts showing signs of failure?
It is a simple question but I think answers and opinions will be different considering that some traders may fear further tampering with the strategy, others will no want to wait until it fails, what is your style?
When a strategy is showing a very big percentage of winning and I’m always winning using that strategy more than the losses i encounter using that strategy, I’ll stick to it and not allow myself to be carried away by eating to trying another one. What I will do in such scenario is that, I will only try to better myself on those trades that tend to stop me out and not play out using that strategy. There is always room for improvement so I won’t stop learning and will try to get better on the strategy as long as the winning rate is still high.
There should always be room for improvements even in the best of things because situations can never be static same with the market. Only conservatives are afraid of tampering with the order of things and this leads to them being left behind when others are transforming and moving forward with current trends. Every strategy should be improved to give more profits that's what makes you a good trader.
Better traders
are always looking out for possible means to maximize their gains but in doing so, they should not want to diversify into other strategy that tends to disrupt the first one in their mode of pattern of trading, sticking to one makes learning and growing to become better more easier. Don’t diversify your strategy but just stick to one and continue improve yourself to get better while using it.
