Trading strategy
Also known as: strategy, system, trading system
A trading strategy is a defined set of rules for entries, exits and risk that aims to produce a positive expectancy over many trades.
A complete strategy specifies entry conditions, exit rules (stop-loss and take-profit), position sizing and the markets and timeframes it applies to. Strategies are validated by backtesting and forward testing before risking capital.
