So, I know you have been told that you need to back-test to master the market. But I will tell you this for free, While you backtest, understand that every bactested strategy is always correct.
The question is what happens in a real-time market?
Always ask Why.

Have you seen a strategy that fails during backtesting? kindly share.

Backtesting does not guarantee you a real-time success. Market can change unpredictably, so you have to see how it performs under live market conditions, where expect emotions, slippage, events comes into play.

That's true tho. You can do all of backtesting as much 1000 as you can but the moment there is a change in market, your backtest become invalid

I have not yet come across a strategy that fails during backtesting because usually it is adjusted to fit the historical data. But I have realized that if a strategy worked during backtesting, that does not guarantee that it would work on live trading.

In real-time markets, anything can happen that may lead to price fluctuations like unexpected news, change in market conditions, or even slippage. This can mess up any backtested strategy.
