Turn knowledge into process.
Is this you?
Five stages, running as a loop - every live strategy feeds the next round of research. The red shortcut is the one most traders take instead.
Start from a behavioral hypothesis, not a prediction.
Turn the hypothesis into rules, not a curve fit.
Most traders follow this path and call it done.
Out-of-sample, walk-forward, across regimes the optimizer never saw.
Combine strategies that fail at different times.
Size it, monitor it, plan the drawdown before it comes.

Hello, my name is Rodolfo Berrocal, I'm from Lima, Peru. I just stopped by to thank you for all the great work you do. I'm doing my best to understand your videos since I don't speak English very well, but I'm still learning a lot from you. I'm just getting started in the world of algorithmic trading, and it's going well for me. Thank you again, and blessings.

I’ve been in the program since Feb, have found a way to create and find a lot of pretty good algos, but magic sauce happens when we combine the uncorrelated “pretty goods”. Happy to report since Feb, up 28pct and am now in maintenance mode working on the process instead of reflexively reacting to every draw down that I think is the end of the world. Biggest learnings. Test for worst case portfolio drawdown, size accordingly. Trade top strategies within that portfolio, cycle out worst performers every few months. Seems to be a winning recipe and am so excited to think about the next chapter in this journey I’ve been on for many many moons 😃
