What To Do During a Trading Drawdown20 Jul 202600:46:10

In this week's episode of Line Your Own Pockets, we follow up on last week's topic of trading drawdowns and discuss concrete things you can do when you're in one.

We discuss:

  • Even though you can't predict when they'll happen, that doesn't mean you can't prepare for drawdowns
  • Update your data, rerun your backtests, and reconcile all live trades
  • Small execution differences can cause large P&L gaps
  • Professional traders treat drawdowns as opportunities to improve

And much more...

Why Drawdowns Break Traders (And How to Survive Them)13 Jul 202600:44:07

Every trader who has quit trading did so during a drawdown.

In this episode of Line Your Own Pockets, we discuss this difficult topic and what you can do now to prepare.

Topics include:

  • Drawdowns are psychologically much harder than most traders expect
  • The biggest pain isn't the money - it's questioning whether your strategy actually has an edge
  • Having only one strategy makes your identity more dependent on its success
  • Programmatic sizing rules help eliminate emotional decision-making

And much more...

If you've never had a drawdown or aren't planning on having any more, then you can skip this one. :-)

Otherwise...

  • What is survivorship bias, and how does it affect trading strategies
  • What types of strategies are more vulnerable
  • When it makes sense to include delisted symbols in your backtest

Create Redundancy in your Trading Business04 May 202600:38:26

In this week's episode of Line Your Own Pockets, we discuss adding redundancy to your trading. Outages aren't a matter of if but when.

Topics include:

  • Failures will happen eventually - plan for them ahead of time
  • Broker-side, server-held exit orders (like at IBKR) make this simple
  • Test your setup before you get forced to
  • Revisit your setup regularly as your trading income grows over time

And much more...

As mentioned in the podcast, here's an example of an internet router that can use multiple ISPs.

All About Data for Backtesting13 Apr 202600:39:31

Topics covered:

  • Like "free" commissions, you typically get what you pay for when it comes to market data
  • Choices come down to whether you need intraday data
  • Avoid overengineering - no premature optimization!

Should You Use Python for Backtesting?02 Feb 202600:35:51

We discuss:

  • Python is a great general-purpose language, but that's what makes it a bad choice for backtesting
  • Iterating on your strategies is the critical piece - anything that makes that more complex will make things more difficult
  • In a world of LLMs, the argument for using Python for everything makes less sense
  • Choose your tools based on profit potential, not because "I like Python and am good at it."

The ICE Method for Prioritizing Strategies22 Dec 202500:33:26

As traders gain experience, the problem shifts from not having enough ideas to having too many ideas competing for limited time and mental energy. Without a system, this abundance quickly becomes overwhelming and leads to paralysis or procrastination.

We discuss the ICE method - a simple scoring method to determine which ideas to work on first.

Portfolio Level Backtesting - Useful or Waste of Time?08 Dec 202500:48:59

Is Moving Your Stop To Breakeven a Mistake?24 Nov 202500:40:50

We discuss:

  • Similar to taking partial profits, moving a stop to breakeven is more about psychological comfort
  • Profitable trading requires tolerating discomfort, as difficult as that is at times
  • It seems like a simple idea to test, but it quickly adds significant complexity to a backtest
  • How to actually test this in a backtest

This is a great example of the platitudes you often hear from people who are good at talking about trading, but don't actually trade.

Next Steps When Your Strategy Fades17 Nov 202500:36:34
You Missed a Trade - Now What?10 Nov 202500:41:30

  • Your default should be to take the trade if it still matches your system
  • There's more information to decide on - what can you add to your backtest?
  • What are post-entry columns, and how can they help?
  • How deep thinking about the issue can help you create brand new strategies

Is Trading Gambling?13 Oct 202500:30:18

In this episode, we tackle this popular question. Dave polled several traders he coaches and got some surprising answers.

  • How much is trading like, say, poker, or something that is even more up to chance?
  • Even starting a business can be called gambling if defined purely as "risking money on uncertain outcomes."
  • Does having an edge make trading less like gambling?
  • In a casino, is the house "gambling" because it has a strong edge?
