Most traders don’t quit strategies because they fail. They quit because they feel uncomfortable.
In episode 165 of Let’s Talk Forex, Alison and Chris explain why normal drawdowns feel like failure, how losing streaks are part of probability, and when it actually makes sense to walk away from a system. They talk about evaluating a strategy with data rather than emotion, how market conditions affect performance, and the key questions to ask before switching again.
If you keep strategy-hopping after a few losses, this episode is for you.
