#MyStrategyEvolution MyStrategyEvolution How I stopped losing and started earning** 📈💡

Once I thought trading was just "buy cheaper, sell higher". But the market quickly explained to me that without a system, there's nothing to do here. Here's how my strategy evolved – from a novice to a stable trader.

## **🔥 Stage 1. Wild West (0–6 months)**

❌ **Mistakes:**

- Trading on emotions (FOMO, revenge trading)

- No risk management (stops? what stops?)

- Searching for a "magic indicator"

💡 **Conclusion:** Lost the first deposit in 2 weeks. Realized – need a **plan**.

## **📊 Stage 2. Technical analysis (6–12 months)**

✅ **What changed:**

- Started studying **support/resistance levels**

- Added **moving averages (MA50, MA200)**

- Started keeping a **trader's diary**

⚠ **Problems:**

- Too many indicators → analysis paralysis

- Still trading against the trend

💡 **Conclusion:** Indicators are tools, not a sacred Grail.

## **🎯 Stage 3. Price action + Risk Management (1–2 years)**

✅ **Breakthrough:**

- Switched to **Price Action** (patterns, candlestick analysis)

- Strict **risk management (1–2% per trade)**

- Started trading **only with the trend**

📌 **Working strategy:**

- **Timeframe:** D1 + H4 for trend determination

- **Entry:** Pullbacks to key levels + volume confirmation

- **Stop-loss:** Behind the nearest swing low/high

- **Take-profit:** 1:2 or 1:3 RR + trailing stop

💡 **Result:** First **stable** months in profit.

## **🚀 Stage 4. Algorithmic trading and automation (2+ years)**

✅ **Now:**

- Part of the strategy moved to **trading bots** (Python + TradingView Alerts)

- Using **backtesting** to validate ideas

- Focused on **2–3 proven setups**

💡 **Main lesson:** The simpler the system – the more stable it is.

### **📌 Conclusion: My key rules now**

1. **Trend – my friend** (I only trade in its direction).

2. **Risk – no more than 1%** per trade.

3. **Better to skip a trade** than to enter a questionable one.
