Ship Something Every Day
By Dave Mabe
There's a concept in software development called "ship something every day."
It sounds easy, but when you're creating software that many people use, it's hard because you don't want to break things.
To get to that point when developing software, there are a lot of guardrails you have to put in place to make things build smoothly and roll out to production seamlessly.
But once you get that foundational architecture in place, you're off to the races.
Without the infrastructure in place, any change feels monumental.
And if you go for extended periods without making any changes to the software - even trivial ones - it becomes harder to make any change.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality creeps in, and the entire process fossilizes.
The same phenomenon can happen with your trading strategies.
If it's working well enough, you postpone changes, and then come the excuses.
"I don't want to make a change, because it might be curve fitting."
Imagine how much better your trading would be if you made one improvement every day.
No matter how small the improvement, do something every day to get better.
With this mentality, you'll begin to generate new ideas for improvement.
Within a month, you'll be a completely different trader.
In a year, you'll be crushing it.
