You’ve just finished backtesting your trading system. Now what?

If you’re like most traders, you fall into the trap of endless tweaking—“just one more optimization,” “a little better drawdown,” “maybe a higher CAGR.” Sound familiar? I’ve been there too. But here’s the truth: perfecting your backtest often leads to overfitting, not better results.

In this video, I walk you through a completely different mindset that most traders miss. I’ll show you how to know when a system is actually ready to go live—and how that decision is more about portfolio-level improvement than perfection in a single strategy.

This approach frees you from perfectionism, speeds up your system development, and gets you trading faster—with more confidence and less stress.

🧠 You’ll learn:

• The biggest mistake traders make after backtesting

• Why you must avoid over-optimization (and how to stop)

• The real reason “good enough” is better than “perfect”

• How I make go/no-go decisions with trading systems

• The right way to allocate capital between strategies

• How to think at the portfolio level like a pro systematic trader
