How do you develop your personal strategy?

I personally use different strategies.First I test the indicators on the demo chart and test the basics of entry and exit points for different conditions based on various indicators and then I convert them into a single indicator by programming and then I test it in the MetaTrader tester.After thorough reviews I convert my strategy into an Expert Advisor and continue testing again until I am completely satisfied then after final adjustments I run it on the demo account and then the rails.With this method I try to reduce human and emotional error to zero.It has been really fruitful for me.You also write your experiences of the trading process.

That’s a very structured and logical approach — I like how you’ve systematized everything to limit emotional interference. Automating through testing and converting strategies into EAs definitely brings consistency, especially when it’s backed by solid data and real understanding of conditions. I’ve been trading for several years now, and while I’ve experimented with automation too, I’ve found that staying involved manually helps me stay sharp. My focus over time has shifted more toward execution quality, journaling, and psychological stability. Early on, I underestimated how much mindset affects results — now I’d say it’s the core of everything.

Over the years I’ve narrowed things down to a handful of setups I know well, and I track each one closely: not just outcomes, but how well I stuck to my rules. It’s not perfect — still make errors — but the structure and awareness keep me grounded. The real edge, at least for me, has come from consistency, review, and being brutally honest with myself over time. Everyone’s path is a bit different, but hearing how others approach the process always adds perspective. Appreciate you sharing yours.
