Cultivating a rigorous trading habit for myself, if you want to do everything, you won't achieve anything. When doing wedge patterns, I said I wanted to make 10,000 wedge trades. By the time I reached the 10th trade, my insights deepened. In trading, 90% of the time is spent waiting; frequent trading inevitably leads to being killed by mathematics. I understand very well what trades I should not make, so sometimes it's normal for me to post trades without executing them.
If you don't understand that trading is a game against the smartest people in the world, you'll make all kinds of trades and still incur significant losses.
The average win-loss ratio for wedges is currently 2, with a mathematical expectation close to 0.2. Winning 4 out of 10 trades is already a good model; a win-loss ratio of 2 with a 40% probability already supports stable profits mathematically. I've achieved 4 profitable trades; there is a natural upper limit to the win rate for reversal trades, and combining it with a good trend background can improve the win rate a bit. Theoretically, high win rates and high win-loss ratios do not exist because your opponents are more astute than you regarding closing prices and are more meticulous about small mathematical advantages, possessing more data. Therefore, I have been continuously verifying the 70% breakout probability of wedge charts. A breakout does not guarantee reaching the target; perhaps a win-loss ratio of 70% with 1:1 is feasible, but trades with a win-loss ratio of several times at a 70% win rate basically don't exist; such trades are a dream.
I'm also learning and validating data while doing many things. The clear direction for stable profitability has always been to establish a positive expectation system. I believe that wedges are indeed a positive expectation system, but continuous verification is still needed. Winning 8 out of 20 trades with a win-loss ratio of 2 is a model for sustainable profitability.
