Do you Know Your Winning System?

by admin | Apr 10, 2025

DO YOU KNOW YOUR WINNING SYSTEM?

Because if you don’t… how can you expect to win?

Ever tried explaining your trading system and found yourself spiraling into a 15-minute rant with more jargon than a Wall Street cocktail party?

Yeah… that’s not a good sign.

A winning trading system should be so crystal-clear that you could explain it to your gran—and she’d nod along like she’s ready to pull the trigger on a EUR/USD long or a Gold short or a Dow Jones Futures Long.

So let’s flip the mirror on ourselves and get real for a moment…

Can you explain your trading system in one sentence?

Seriously—just one sentence.

If you can’t do that, there’s a good chance your system is either:

Think about it: every professional—whether they’re a surgeon, pilot or chef—knows exactly what they do and how they do it. Traders should be no different.

Let’s break it down:

🧠 The Power of the One-Sentence Rule

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” – Albert Einstein

Now swap “it” for “your trading system” and feel that sting of truth.

Your trading system should fit neatly into one sentence that tells you what, when, how and why you trade.

Examples:

Boom. That’s clarity. That’s power. That’s professional.

✍️ The Few Sentences Test

Okay, let’s stretch it out.

Now explain it in a few sentences. Give it some meat—but no fluff.

If you find yourself mumbling, hesitating, or saying “It depends” a hundred times—red flag.

You might be relying on luck, not a system.

And let’s be honest… luck isn’t a trading edge. It’s just a ticking bomb.

🎤 Can You Deliver an Elevator Pitch?

Now the grand finale.

One minute.

That’s how long you’ve got to pitch your trading system to another trader, investor, or coach—someone who knows the game and isn’t impressed by fluff.

Can you confidently, clearly, and concisely deliver your entire strategy in that time?

If not, don’t panic.

This is your wake-up call to get crystal clear on what you trade, why you trade it, and how you do it consistently.

Because when you can do this—you’ve got something good.

🎯 Why This Matters

Here’s the deal: Clarity is king.

If your system isn’t defined, it isn’t repeatable.

If it isn’t repeatable, it isn’t measurable.

And if it isn’t measurable—well, it ain’t a system.

It’s just wishful thinking in disguise.

Having a well-defined trading system:

Imagine knowing exactly what your next move is before the market even opens…

🧹 Let’s Simplify to Multiply

Most traders complicate things thinking more indicators = more accuracy.

But here’s the truth:

“Simple systems, executed consistently, outperform complex systems, executed emotionally.”

Let that sink in.

Your job is not to impress anyone with complexity.

Your job is to find a system that works—and master it with monk-like discipline.

🚀 Conclusion: Know It. Own It. Use It.

If you can clearly articulate your system in:

Then you have something solid.

You’ve moved from amateur to strategist.

Because remember this:

A trader with a plan will always outperform the trader with a gut feeling.

Can you explain your trading system in one sentence?

Seriously—just one sentence.

If you can’t do that, there’s a good chance your system is either:

Too complicated

Not clearly defined

Or worse… You don’t fully grasp it yet.

Think about it: every professional—whether they’re a surgeon, pilot or chef—knows exactly what they do and how they do it. Traders should be no different.

Let’s break it down:

🧠 The Power of the One-Sentence Rule

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” – Albert Einstein

Now swap “it” for “your trading system” and feel that sting of truth.

Your trading system should fit neatly into one sentence that tells you what, when, how and why you trade.

Examples:

“I trade breakouts on the 5-min chart using 2 moving averages and with a few strict risk management rules.”

“I follow a swing strategy based on breakout patterns and price crossing over two moving averages.”

Boom. That’s clarity. That’s power. That’s professional.

✍️ The Few Sentences Test

Okay, let’s stretch it out.

Now explain it in a few sentences. Give it some meat—but no fluff.

What’s your entry criteria?

How do you manage risk?

What tools or indicators do you use?

When do you get out?

If you find yourself mumbling, hesitating, or saying “It depends” a hundred times—red flag.

You might be relying on luck, not a system.

And let’s be honest… luck isn’t a trading edge. It’s just a ticking bomb.

Having a well-defined trading system:

Builds confidence

Creates discipline

Removes emotional bias

And gets you in and out of trades with laser precision
