HP-b7ab has always been a whale I respect for one thing — his impeccable entries. Time and again, his shorts post staggering floating profits, often ranging from 50% to 200% within just five days. But there’s a catch: his exits are almost never perfect. He often leaves too much on the table, letting sizable gains slip away.

So I’m making a change. Instead of waiting for his exit signal, I’ll run my own: close at 88% profit or hold until the 5th day, whichever comes first. This tweak keeps the best part of his strategy — the entry — while removing its weakest link — the exit. The benefits are clear:

• Locking in high-probability gains before momentum fades

• Avoiding the trap of greed and indecision

• Standardizing exits for consistent, backtestable results

This isn’t just about improving results. It’s about evolving from passive follower to active optimizer. By refining rather than simply copying, I’m stepping into a space where my performance can potentially outshine the source I learned from.

The real test begins now — will my tinkered version outperform HP-b7ab? Time will tell. But one thing’s certain: I’m no longer just following; I’m strategizing.
