Why should the trading system be simple?

Many people make the trading system very complicated because they believe that too many conditions can make the system more accurate and improve the winning rate.

In fact, the trading system had better be so simple that there is no need to think. Only in this way can we abandon the influence of subjective factors and make every transaction operate in strict accordance with the rules so as to make a profit.

When a person refers to too many factors, it is difficult to generate a pattern regularly. What if one of the conditions for admission is not met? Is it possible that a market that can trigger all its conditions does not exist? The fault tolerance of such a trading system is so poor that the slightest accident may cause the whole trading model to collapse.

If a set of trading system is not simple enough, it will have two big problems: one is that the conditions are vague, which is not conducive to execution; the other is that the fault tolerance is too poor.

No one has a way to predict the future market, it's all trial and error.

The core of the trading system is not the control of risk, but the control of profit.

So as long as the risk is controllable and has a certain probability advantage, such signals are worth a try.

People who can run simple strategies must have higher trading awareness, because it is easy to add conditions but difficult to give up conditions.

A simple strategy, as long as it is in line with the nature of the transaction in the core, has a slight advantage in probability, and can better face uncertainty, it is more likely to be more prominent in the future. This is why the trading system should be simple.
