Why Systematic Trading Strategies Beat Stock Picking
A systematic trading strategy generates superior returns with minimal active trading time, in contrast to the time-intensive discretionary stock trading.

Weekly review: -5.89% ($SPY: -1.63%)
rough week with gaps up and down all over the place, a mine field of a trading week.
By definition it takes some time to adjust exposure (slowdown), next weeks will make or break for the month.

#SystematicTrading is all about backtesting and data, but the real lessons come from actual market exposure.
Fortunately I was not afraid to jump into live trading as soon as possible. Testing strategies in real life is the only way to truly know what works and what fails.
