Who this is for — Anyone who accumulates trades without improving. The loop connects market action to verifiable method changes.
A feedback loop = execution → data → analysis → calibration → verification. Without a closed circuit, the same errors repeat forever with growing conviction.
In plain terms — Do → measure → change one thing → check if next week is better.
Four phases
| Phase | Activity |
|---|---|
| 1. Execution | Trades + journal + error tags |
| 2. Analysis | |
| 3. Calibration | |
| 4. Verification | Process metrics week after |
Loop rules
- One change per cycle when possible (clear cause-effect)
- Changes with markets closed
- If verification fails → rollback rule, new hypothesis
Typical mistake — Empty journal or skipped review → open loop, zero learning.
Example — Tag #Chasing costs −4R/month → rule «no market order until trigger candle close» → review +2 weeks: #Chasing −0.5R → fix validated.
Summary card
- Core: data → decision → test.
- Review freq: weekly minimum.
- Metric: target error in R ↓.
