Listen Later

Want better performance from your trading strategies?

 

In part 3 of my chat with legendary trend-following Turtle Trader Jerry Parker we discuss optimization, how to really extract better performance from your trading, and common traps to avoid.

 

Key discussion points:

 

  1. Minimizing Optimization for Maximum Effect: How over-complicating your approach can backfire, why less is often more when it comes to trading strategies and what you should do instead.

  2. The Power of Simplicity: Learn why fewer rules often lead to better trading outcomes.

  3. The Role of Back Testing: Discover the benefits and limitations of this crucial and often mis-used trading tool.

  4. Diversifying Exits for Better Results: How diversifying your exit strategies can enhance your trading performance.

  5. Adapting to Market Volatility: Tips on how to stay afloat and succeed in fluctuating markets.

  6. And much more.
