The Backtester
Most traders never statistically verify that their strategy makes money. They backtest three weeks of data, get a 70% win rate, and start trading real capital — only to discover it was noise, not edge. This phase teaches rigorous backtesting methodology: sample sizes, key metrics, Monte Carlo simulation, and how to interpret what your data is actually telling you.
Mind Over Market
Conquer the internal battles. Dealing with streaks, tilt, and the loneliness of the screens.
