Today I want to talk about a topic that is very, very important to me, and something I keep seeing over and over again, both on Discord and on X. People tend to fixate extremely on certain things, especially when it comes to trading strategies. Many are stuck in a kind of cult or bubble, with the mindset that only this one view, this one trading style, is successful and no other.
This is not about not focusing on strategies you absolutely should. But the belief that the strategy itself is the key to success is simply wrong, and I want to give you an example here once again.
I trade different strategies. Some strategies work better, others naturally work worse. Many strategies are profitable on different timeframes and on different levels. In this example here, I am using a strategy where I execute ultra scalps . I am also fully disclosing all statistics here: this is a Topstep account that I funded, using a variant that is truly very extreme. And you can clearly see from the statistics that even trades lasting only seconds can work, and that very different strategies can work if you master them.
And that is the key point for me: mastering strategies is the key to success, not the strategy itself.
Why I am telling you this is because I also feel that some people hold on to things that don’t actually suit them, with the thought that “this is the only successful way” and “only this can make me profitable,” even though the entire approach doesn’t fit them personally. They would likely be more successful if they let go and pursued other approaches but they are too trapped in something they can’t break free from.
This was simply something that was important for me to show you. As mentioned, I am attaching all statistics and posts completely transparently.
