Strategies

A strategy is a written rule for when you act, not a story you tell after the chart has moved.

Name the condition first. For example: rising swings, price at a zone you marked yesterday, and a session that is not empty. Then name the invalidation. Then the size.

If the rule was added after you saw the result, it is a memory, not a strategy. The article on backtests is the longer version of that warning.
