Why I Separate Research From Live Trading

Research is where I experiment with ideas, test settings, and compare different approaches.

Live trading is where I execute the rules I've already decided to follow.

Mixing the two can lead to constant changes based on whatever happened in the last few candles.

I prefer to record new ideas during the session and evaluate them later.

If a change looks promising, I test it before making it part of my live process.

Curiosity is valuable, but experimentation needs boundaries when real money is at risk.
