One strategy or many: how many setups do you trade?

One setup, mastered, usually beats three, half-learned — but one setup also leaves you flat for long stretches. The balance between focus and diversification is personal and rarely deliberate.

How many do you run?

• the setups you trade and how they differ
• how you know which one to use when
• whether adding setups ever helped or just diluted

The expectancy guide argues for knowing each setup's real numbers.
