things i wish i knew earlier to save you some time: 1) Think about the timeline in which you tend to hold trades. If your average trade duration is mins to a couple hours at most, it doesn't make sense to focus on what price has been doing the past few days or weeks, you want to monitor more recent PA (last few hours or day at most). You want your time horizon in which you monitor PA when making decisions to match that of your trade time. 2) Think very carefully about the coins/assets you choose to trade, most people will blindly switch coins without knowing if their edge (if they have one) is transferable. The pair in which you trade is as big a decision as anything else in your trading plan. Exploits can be spotted differently dependent on the pair you trade. 3) Know if your system actually works. Too many people assume the issue is that they are "emotionally unstable". When in reality they do not have a clear set of rules/process to follow to find out whether their system is actually profitable or not. You will always think YOU are the problem until you define a clear set of parameters in which you can test, review, refine. 50 to 100 trades (depending on how frequently you trade), is a decent average sample size to get a baseline for refining your strategy.
