one practical tip for anyone tempted by a paid indicator: demand a measurable claim and a way to test it on demo first. if the seller cant give you a falsifiable statement and a trial, thats your answer. real tools survive scrutiny, marketing dies under it.

simple. slow. profitable.

logged both accounts for two weeks and the prop really is a point worse on average but my edge has the room, so im staying. feels good to decide on data instead of paranoia.

ecn broker, raw account. position size becomes the execution variable not account size.

know why your edge works before expanding. demo the new market 2-3 months. add one at a time. stop when preparation quality suffers.

data point: backtested my zone strategy across 2020-2025. annual edge was clearly trending down. 2020: 12% annualized edge above buy-hold. 2025: 4%. strategies decay. the answer isnt to abandon, its to evolve - add filters, add confluence, reduce trade frequency.

still on ic, no reason to switch
