The Best Way to Create an Awesome Trading Strategy Is…

…to start with an OK trading strategy and improve it.

By far my favorite trading topic is how to improve a trading strategy.

I see so many traders get stuck in a drawdown because “my strategy stopped working.”

But there are lots of different ways to make a trading strategy better.

The more you work on your process for adapting and improving, the more robust your strategies will be.

Here’s a slide from the webinar I’m doing tomorrow for Interactive Brokers called How To Improve Any Trading Strategy that describes several ways to make your strategy better.

Ways To Improve a Strategy

  • Exclude the worst trades using a rule
  • Adding more trades to an existing system
  • Take your best trades with bigger size
  • Use what you’ve learned to create a new strategy

I’ll discuss the specific situations to look for in your strategies that make each of these improvement paths viable.

The webinar is tomorrow, 3/20/2025 at 2pm ET. Even if you can’t attend live, go ahead and register so you can be notified of the recording and watch it afterward at your leisure.

This is not a sales call masquerading as a webinar – this is practical advice to apply to your own trading.

I hope to see you there.
