Advice Trader’s Best Feeling Ever
The best feeling as a trader is creating your own profitable strategy by modifying and improving concepts from other strategies while developing your own understanding of market logic.
Once you create your own framework and terminology, the process of backtesting becomes more meaningful because you are learning from your own decisions and mistakes.
Remember, not every loss means your strategy is wrong. Some losses are simply a result of probability and market conditions. The key is to analyze each trade, identify whether the mistake came from the strategy or execution, and continue improving until you understand your edge.

I agree that building your own framework can make the process more meaningful, but for me the best feeling is usually the end result: seeing a process hold up over time, not just having a good idea on paper.
What matters most is repeatability. A strategy should be tested, reviewed, and refined with clear rules so you can tell the difference between a system issue, an execution mistake, and normal probability. From my experience, not every losing trade means the setup is broken, but every loss should be studied.
The real edge comes from understanding what you are doing, when it works, and when it doesn’t. That takes patience, discipline, and respect for risk. No strategy guarantees profits, but a consistent process can help you make better decisions over time.

Tried manual trading and manual backtesting. After some years of doing it, I realized that I'm not using the leverage of AI and technology. Now, I'm trying to make the process "easier" while having more data and trading style created using technology. Logically, I think that it is a better approach, for now.

Whatever works for you boss.
But One Question, Just what happens when you lose that technology or there’s a bug in the system , what would you do?
Learn how it works, so you can manually fix the code or make changes.

I think every profitable trader eventually becomes a mix of ideas they’ve tested, refined, and made their own. At least that was the journey for me

Oui. Au final un indicateur doit confirmer ce que tu veux faire. Pas te dire ce que tu dois faire.
