In this webinar, veteran systematic trader Dave Mabe will walk through the most common—and costly – mistakes he’s seen over more than two decades of trading and working with other serious traders.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build an exit plan you can actually have confidence in
  • Use a trading journal to uncover what’s really driving your results
  • Avoid the common backtesting process that leads to curve fitting and wasted effort
  • Recognize when a profitable strategy needs to evolve
  • Build a process for continually finding and developing new edges
  • Learn from other traders without abandoning what already works for you

Whether you’re still trying to become consistently profitable or already trading successfully, you’ll come away with a framework for identifying the mistakes most likely to be holding you back – and a practical process for getting a little better every day.
