Video Transcript: I’m going to show you why your strategy feels like it stopped working, even when it actually still does, and why most traders fail because of this, no matter how good their strategy is. Because even a perfect strategy doesn’t work if you can’t execute it. Now, let me ask you something. Would you trade this strategy? As you can see, the equity is going up. Looks pretty good, right?
