Six reds in a row.
I remember the exact run. Years ago now. Six trades, six losses, same strategy, same rules, nothing changed.
By trade four I was convinced the strategy was dead. By trade six I'd basically written the eulogy in my head.
I bailed. Went and found something new by the following week, obviously.
Guess what happened to the strategy I dropped.
It kept working. I couldn't even tell you the exact numbers anymore, but it ran clean for years after that. That losing run wasn't the end of it. It was just... a losing run. The kind every single strategy has, including the good ones.
A losing run doesn't mean the strategy's broken. It means you're trading a real strategy, and real strategies have losing runs.
Here's the kitchen table version. If a strategy wins 60% of the time, that means it loses 40% of the time. And 40% doesn't spread itself out evenly, one loss every three trades like clockwork. It clumps. Sometimes six, seven, eight in a row, purely by chance, exactly like flipping a coin can give you six heads in a row even though it's 50/50.
Does that track?
The question was never "did I just lose six in a row."
It was "do I actually know what a normal losing run looks like for this strategy, before I hit one."
Most people don't. That's the actual gap. Not talent. Not discipline. Just... nobody ever showed them what normal looks like before they needed to know it.
That's exactly what this walks you through. It's called Lightspeed Stats, five years of data run against your exact entries and exits, so you know what normal looks like before you're stuck inside a losing run wondering if it's the end:
