The Importance of Diversification and Predictability

Diversification and predictability are crucial factors for successful trading strategies. By applying a broad strategy and market diversification, traders can reduce risk and increase the predictability of their returns. It is important to develop strategies based on solid return drivers and apply them to every relevant market, even if they have experienced losses in the past. Traders should focus on building a portfolio that is balanced and diversified, as this can help to lower risk and achieve more consistent performance.
