Strategy development board

Share your strategy ideas, trading systems, and back-test results. Focus on reproducible setups: define your entry trigger, stop loss rule, profit target, and position sizing method.

A strategy that back-tests well may over-fit historical data. Use out-of-sample testing — reserve a portion of data the optimizer never saw — to validate before trading live.

Document your trading rules in a written plan. When you deviate from the plan, note why. Over time, your trading journal becomes the most valuable research tool you have.
