114 – How to quickly identify when an edge has gone

Last week we reviewed a technique Kevin Davey shared to measure the effectiveness of entries and exits using something he calls ‘the monkey test’.

This week we’re going to look at entries and exits from a slightly different angle:

  • How can we measure a trading edge after we’ve entered a trade,
  • Is it possible to identify when that edge has disappeared so we can consider exiting the trade rather than overstaying our welcome?

We pick up the conversation talking about validating trading strategies for robustness, take a listen!
