Build Your Own Strategy
Entry • Exit • SL • Backtesting • Probability Thinking
This module teaches you how to create your own complete trading strategy from scratch. Instead of depending on tips or random setups, you will learn how to define entry rules, exit rules, stoploss logic, target system, and how to test your strategy using backtesting and forward testing. You will also learn probability thinking — the real secret behind consistent profitability.

ArthVed 9X Strategy Checklist Template
Use this checklist before you take any trade. This is your rulebook.
Lesson 1: What Makes a Strategy Profitable
A profitable strategy is not about prediction. It is about expectancy.
A strategy is profitable when it has a positive expectancy. Expectancy is a combination of win rate, risk reward, and discipline.
Profitability Pillars
- Clear entry rules
- Clear exit rules
- Controlled stoploss
- Positive expectancy
- Repeatability
Lesson 2: Define Entry Conditions
Entry conditions should be objective, not emotional.
A good entry rule must be measurable. If your entry depends on "feeling bullish", it is not a strategy.
Example Entry Conditions
- Price closes above resistance
- Breakout candle volume is higher than average
- Trend alignment with higher timeframe
- Retest confirmation
Lesson 3: Define Exit Conditions
Exit rules protect profit and prevent emotional holding.
Most traders lose money because they don't exit properly. They either exit too early in profit or hold too long in loss.
Exit Methods
- Fixed target exit
- Trailing stoploss exit
- Momentum weakness exit
- Time-based exit
Lesson 4: Define SL + Targets
Stoploss defines your risk. Target defines your system reward.
Stoploss must be placed at a logical level where your trade setup becomes invalid. Targets must be based on RR or key resistance/support.
Stoploss Types
- Below swing low / above swing high
- Structure-based invalidation
- ATR based dynamic SL
- Fixed point SL (only for scalping)
Lesson 5: Back Testing Basics
Backtesting means testing your strategy on past data.
Backtesting helps you validate whether your strategy has an edge. It also gives you realistic drawdown expectations.
Backtesting Steps
- Select timeframe and market type
- Test minimum 50-100 trades
- Record win rate and RR
- Calculate expectancy
- Note max drawdown period
Lesson 6: Forward Testing Basics
Forward testing is applying strategy in real market conditions.
Forward testing confirms whether the strategy works in live markets. It also tests your discipline and execution.
Forward Testing Rules
- Start with paper trading or small quantity
- Track 20-30 trades minimum
- Follow strategy exactly
- Journal each trade result
- Refine only after enough sample size
Lesson 7: Probability Thinking
Trading is a probability business, not a prediction business.
A professional trader thinks in terms of series of trades, not single trade. Losing trades are normal and part of the business.
Probability Mindset
- One trade does not define you
- Losing streaks are normal
- Edge plays out over 50+ trades
- Discipline matters more than prediction
Lesson 8: Strategy Checklist Template
A checklist turns trading into a professional process.
A strategy without checklist is incomplete. Checklist protects you from impulsive entries and emotional trades.
Checklist Must Include
- Trend confirmation
- Entry trigger confirmation
- Stoploss logic
- Target / exit method
- Position sizing
- Market condition filter
