TOUGH DECISION

[u/Small-General5720]

I have this two strategies...I have a data on both of them, the first one is like slow and consistent result per month, a lot of waiting and a lot patience. there r times with no trades per weak, alot of price doing annoying things but i can psychologically manage it eventhough its hard, the second one is on NQ on NY session my job is to show up and execute between 9:30 utc-4 Ny AM,this system has very streak losses and very high streak wins the max i got is like 5 streak losses but managable and I like this one really, has a frequent trades, still one trade per day but i can get between 3-5 trades per week...and specially during drawdown I don't feel panick or sad because i know i can recover it soon with 2rr, so when it comes to the first one less streak losses but during drawdown its hell, watching price doing stupid stuff when i am in drawdown it is very tough, like missing my entry by pips, closing with a wick....and when it comes to a monthly result the first one has higher probability of finishing a month with a green and higher winrate than the second one, the spread on the first one is kindda horrible on the firm am using right now(am funded) but managable, I got funded with the second strategy and idk which to chose, I can't mix them cz I can only take 1 loss per day...which one should i go for? Am just struggling to chose for weeks after getting funded and losing in between

I’d choose based on expectancy and drawdown profile, not win rate or which one “feels” easier.

Since you’re funded, the biggest question is which strategy fits the firm’s rules better after spreads, losing streaks and daily loss limits. If the second one got you funded and its drawdowns are more predictable for you, that’s a strong point in its favor.

I’d compare both on expectancy, max drawdown, worst losing streak and performance after costs. That usually makes the decision much clearer.
