Facing Reality
A robust trading program is built on the premise that you cannot
predict the specific market conditions you will encounter in your
actual trading. Robust trading accounts for this by building systems
that are robust because they are adaptable or simple and are not
specifically dependent on market conditions. A mature robust trading
program trades many different systems in many different markets
and is much more likely to perform consistently in the future
than is a program that trades a small number of systems that have
been highly tailored to a small number of markets.
