The Importance of Backtesting in Trading

Keep the focus on the right direction and be

consistent.

Doing these things and backtesting and collecting all these

experiences and logging them,

and learn to love doing that.

Yeah, I see, uh,

I watched Hannah's video the other day.

She goes, "I hate backtesting." Girl, you better straighten your shit up.

You better fall in love with that part 'cause that's what's gonna make

you better.

You have to love that. You have to fall in love with that.

If you can't find a way to enjoy... It's almost like meditation for me,

and I'm good. I still like doing it because I'm

so

impressed with the level of precision that the algorithm is

consistently delivering. It's not randomness, and it's

so beautiful to see how it does what I teach you it does,

and it's, it's almost like poetry.

Like, I mean, obviously I'm biased.

I mean, my fingerprints are all over this fucking thing,

but the point is that I

literally love seeing it perform.

And you have to admire it,

even if you can't take that trade, even when you lose in a trade.

When I take a losing trade,

I look at it and I'm still like,

I still see what I did wrong. I see what I did wrong, and

it's still doing what it's supposed to do.

And you can't be mad about having to do the work.

That's reasonable. You want a fit body, you want a, a beach

body, well, you're not gonna get it eating fucking

donuts.

You gotta lift some weights, you gotta cut some calories,

and you gotta exercise,

right?

Well, that's effort. Nobody fucking likes to go to the gym in

the beginning.

They hate it. They gotta get through that first growth spurt of pain

and soreness, but when you get rid of the sugar,

you find out that you don't, you don't have that much pain anymore,

and you're

gonna be sore and stiff, but not to the same degree that you

were in the first

three months, the first six weeks, the first two

weeks, where you're getting rid of all

that shit in your blood,

all that sugary stuff, all that extra sugar in your coffees

that you shouldn't be

fucking drinking
