5 years into this and the last 2 months were the best I’ve ever done. Crypto futures, intraday. Actually made real money for once.

Then last week the whole thing just stopped working. Not a bad day. It just died.

So I sat down and backtested it properly over a longer period instead of just the recent stretch that made me feel good, and yeah, the strategy is trash long term. I basically caught a good regime and thought I found something. That was hard to accept ngl.

The annoying part is my risk management and sizing are actually solid at this point. 5 years of getting punched in the face will do that. That’s the only reason I kept the profits instead of donating them back. So execution isn’t the problem for me. I just don’t have a real edge.

Anything above 30% win rate with 1:3 RR works for me. I don’t need high accuracy, I can sit through the losing streaks.

And I know no strategy works forever, I’m not looking for a holy grail. But that’s actually my main question. If something does hit that 30% / 1:3 mark, how are you guys adjusting it when the market changes season? Do you just turn it off in the wrong conditions, do you run some kind of volatility or trend filter before you take entries, do you keep entries the same and only change targets? Nobody talks about this part. Everyone shares the setup, nobody shares how they maintain it.

If anyone has something that’s held up across different market conditions, or even just how you think about adapting yours, please share. Doesn’t have to be exact entries. Even the logic for spotting a regime change before your equity curve tells you would help a lot.

Feel like I’m really close to it. This could genuinely change my life. Bless a man out 🙏
