Systematic Trading

Performance Optimization

Following rules consistently, not making it up as you go. An approach where predefined rules govern every aspect of trading. It removes emotional decision-making and creates reproducible results. The opposite of discretionary or 'feel-based' trading. Example: Your system says: 'Only enter when price is above the 50-day moving average AND volume is 50% above average.' If both conditions aren't met, you don't trade - no exceptions, no 'gut feelings.'
