write counter-argument. mandatory.

different game. cleaner game. lower returns.

not crazy at all, its often exactly right, but confirm the sample is big enough first. one profitable setup over three months could still be a lucky run if its only a handful of trades. if its dozens of trades across different conditions and consistently positive, then yes, concentrating on your one proven edge and cutting the rest is what professionals do. just make sure its real edge, not a short hot streak, before you bet everything on it.

structural reasons = worth tracking as confluence. data-mined patterns with no reason = noise. use as tiebreaker, not primary signal.

can confirm the unwelcome backtest from experience, i counted my go-to pattern and the real win rate was nowhere near my memory of it, though still slightly positive when paired with trend context. that count changed me from trading the pattern alone to using it only in alignment with the higher-timeframe direction, which is where its modest edge actually lived. counting didnt kill the pattern, it located the narrow condition where it was real.

admirals helped me transition from beginner to consistent trader their podcast and webinars were genuinely valuable. then i graduated to a better-tooled broker but i have fond memories

axiory ok for me. small size only.
