About This Course
Everyone talks about having an "edge," but few traders can actually define theirs. This course teaches you how to build, test, and trust your own trading strategy from scratch.
You will learn what a true statistical edge is, the 7 components every complete strategy must have, and how to backtest and forward test your approach before risking real money. We cover expectancy calculation in detail, so you can project whether your strategy can realistically hit prop firm targets.
This course is for traders ready to graduate from following signals to owning their own methodology. By the end, you will have a documented, tested strategy that you understand inside and out.
