Mastering Python Backtesting for Trading Strategies
Backtesting is the quiet but indispensable work behind every trading strategy you've heard about. It is the process of replaying history, testing your ideas against past market data to see what might have worked and, just as importantly, what would not have. When I first started backtesting, I quickly realized it was as much a mental discipline as a technical one. There is a temptation to be seduced by smooth-looking equity curves or promising numbers, but beneath that surface lies a maze of pitfalls and biases.

The Risk Management Playbook
In late 2022, I watched a friend lose nearly half his trading account in a single month. He wasn’t reckless or uninformed. He had studied markets, obsessed over charts, and listened to countless investing podcasts. But there was one gap in his education that cost him dearly: risk management.

The 80/20 Rule: How Pareto's Principle Can Help You Work (and Save) Smarter
There’s a certain relief in realizing you don’t have to do everything. Not well, and not even at all. This is the quiet power behind the 80/20 Rule, also known as Pareto’s Principle—the idea that roughly 80% of outcomes come from 20% of efforts. It’s not a hard-and-fast law of nature, but more of a recurring pattern, one that turns up everywhere from Italian land ownership in the 19th century to modern-day software bugs and stock portfolios[1][2]. When I first learned about this principle, it felt more philosophical than practical. But over time, I’ve come to see it as one of the most useful filters for making decisions—especially when it comes to money and code, two areas where the to-do list can feel endless.

In this article, we’ll examine the daily habits, journaling techniques, and psychological practices of elite traders—and draw surprising parallels with athletes, chess grandmasters, and surgeons. This isn’t about mimicking rituals blindly. It’s about understanding how consistent behaviors sharpen performance under pressure.
