How Far Back Should Your Backtest Look Good?

In this week’s episode of Line Your Own Pockets, we discuss a question from a trader I recently started coaching.

He had a backtest that looked great this year, but not so good before that.

His question was, basically, why should I care how the strategy performed before that?

This is a great question because it gets to the heart of why so many traders abandon strategies too early – or quit trading altogether.

We discuss:

  • The reason most traders give up on strategies
  • Trading through a drawdown
  • Why your “path to confidence” is so important for trading with size

And much more.
