114: How to quickly identify when an edge has gone


Listen Later

Last week we reviewed a technique Kevin Davey shared to measure the effectiveness of entries and exits using something he calls 'the monkey test'.

This week we're going to look at entries and exits from a slightly different angle:

  • How can we measure a trading edge after we've entered a trade,
  • Is it possible to identify when that edge has disappeared so we can consider exiting the trade rather than overstaying our welcome?

In this episode we're going to review a technique that Dave Bergstrom uses to measure the decay of a trading edge.

We pick up the conversation talking about validating trading strategies for robustness, take a listen!
