I get that most traders do not stick to a particular strategy consistently. Or manage risk correctly. And that brokers take money through swaps, commissions, and other fees so that even if each trade was 50/50 they’d lose in the long run. But none of this seems to explain my results through three years of trying to find a profitable edge.
It seems no matter which strategy I pick, with risk managed correctly, I lose far more trades than I win. To the degree that my net returns are negative even with my fewer wins being greater. The loss/win ratio is significant. In love trading in backtesting.
