She reveals how she developed a unique trading system by spending years taking notes and backtesting to find a reliable pattern, including a specific pivot time. This episode is not financial advice, but a raw and honest look at the work, discipline, and passion required to find and master your own trading niche, even in the riskiest of market conditions.
