Loved the Logic Behind It

As someone who loves data and numbers, I appreciated how the author explained the logic behind each trading strategy. It is not just a list of rules you actually understand why certain strategies work in certain situations. The breakdowns of probability, time decay, and risk/reward made a huge difference for me. Excellent for anyone who wants to dive a little deeper into the mechanics without getting overwhelmed.
