r/strategy

I've been developing and refining a Supply & Demand strategy for about 2 years, and I finally have a version that's showing promising results in backtesting.

The core idea is simple:

\- Determine HTF bias using Supply & Demand.

\- Wait for price to tap a valid HTF zone.

\- Drop to the lower timeframe for confirmation (market structure shift + imbalance/FVG).

\- Enter only after confirmation, aiming for around 3R or better.

I also use liquidity sweep

My question is:

Can a Supply & Demand strategy with a proven edge become completely useless over time because of changing market conditions?

I'm not talking about normal drawdowns. I mean, can market structure change enough that a strategy which worked for years no longer has an edge?

If you've experienced this, how did you know it was the strategy that stopped working rather than just variance or a losing streak?

I'd appreciate hearing from traders with several years of experience.

so we have fable 5 now and its creating amazing stuff. With the Conflict of Nation game, ( bear with me) the game idea and mnechanics are really good) but what annoyed me the most and why im not playing it anymore its the paying for credits.. its insane I played this game for 2 years, and over all I spend £2k on it.... its ridiculus. Sooo im wondering if anyone is working on something similar WW3 but just, pay for game and its free. if not well, I may look into it but probably it will be heck expensive with fable 5.

I've spent my career in consulting (Big 4, India offshore unit), and I'm now moving into an industry role as an AI strategist. Excited and a bit nervous.

The JD in plain terms is "use AI to improve internal processes," but I know the reality on the ground is different from how it reads on paper.

What I'm trying to get sharper on before I join:

• AI applied to real internal process improvement, not just generic GenAI demos
• How firms are actually driving adoption across teams, not just running pilots
• Where the real value is landing vs. the hype

I've got the basics down (prompting, RAG, the standard leadership AI certs), but I want to go a level deeper and stay current on where things are actually moving.

Looking for: courses, newsletters, communities, or good case studies on enterprise AI for internal operations. Any subreddits or forums worth following are also welcome. Just trying to learn and hit the ground running.

Hey everyone,

I'd love to get some advice from people who have been in this space longer than I have.

Over the past couple of years, I've designed GTM strategies and built outbound systems for B2B companies using Clay, n8n, GoHighLevel, and AI automation. I've worked on lead sourcing, enrichment, CRM automation, personalized outreach, and building workflows that support sales teams at scale.

I'm at the point where I want to level up, but I'm not sure what the highest leverage skill is from here.

If you were in my position, what would you focus on next? Is it becoming world-class at GTM engineering, diving deeper into AI agents, improving sales, or something else entirely?

I'd genuinely appreciate any advice, lessons, or mistakes you've learned along the way. Thanks in advance!

Hey folks, I’m at a senior L&D role and I’m wondering what’s the best way to design training strategy for the entire organisation, both behavioural as well as technical, in my case, for financial department of a pharmaceutical organisation. Your inputs would be much appreciated, thank you.

Pls feel free to share any resources / AI stuffs!

I have been looking for the best model for knowledge work, essentially. I know for a fact that these models are great at coding, but beyond coding which are the models that are great at:

• brainstorming
• thinking of strategies for business
• working with data

I am looking for a very smart model that can challenge my hypothesis and be like a thought partner for my work.

I do not want to promote anything. I have been working on the agency side as a head of strategy for almost 15 years. But lately I have been feeling a need to insert certain prompts in to my decks so that I can capture what decision-makers think of particular slides. For eg., On a case study slide I would like to ask 'Was this case study helpful for your project' or on a pricing slide 'How comfortable are you with this pricing structure' or on an idea slide 'Do you see any risks in taking this idea forward'?

Basically I would like capture signals with minimal friction. Now I did some research and did not find a software that actually does this. But my question is would you want this. Or do you think this is an overkill and not needed or wont really help.

I’ve been working on the digital side for the last 3 years, handling one of the biggest accounts at my agency.

The uncomfortable realization?

I’m good at accounts. I can manage relationships, keep things moving, coordinate with teams, understand client pressure, and make sure work gets delivered. I’m not just someone who forwards things from one side to another.

But when it comes to strategy, I feel completely lost.

Before this role, I always had a dedicated strategy team. I would sit in internal reviews, listen to the strategic thinking, and understand parts of it at a surface level. But if I’m being honest, the creative side always excited me more. The initial strategy work the thinking before the execution never fully clicked for me.

Now I’m at a new place, handling a major account, and strategy is a core part of my role.

I’m looking at GTMs, IMCs, social listening, content audits, digital strategies, campaign planning and it feels like I’ve suddenly been dropped into the deep end without knowing how to swim.

I’ve been using Claude and ChatGPT heavily, spending tokens and credits trying to make sense of things, build frameworks, and produce work. But the more I generate, the more I realize the problem isn’t the tool.

My boss put it perfectly:
\*\*“You enter shit, you get shit.”\*\*

And that hit hard because I think that’s exactly what’s happening. I don’t have enough clarity in my own thinking, so the AI output also ends up confused. Then I try to polish it, but the foundation is still weak.

A lot of people around me have pointed out that I jump too quickly into execution. I start thinking of formats, content ideas, posts, videos, phases, deliverables but I’m missing the real insight that should drive everything.

That’s the part I want to understand.

How do you actually think strategically before jumping into execution?

How do you approach digital strategy, social listening, GTMs, IMCs, and content audits in a way that makes sense?

How do you turn research into insight?

How do you know when an observation is actually useful and not just a random data point?

How do you use AI properly for strategy instead of just generating polished nonsense?

I don’t hate my job. In fact, I really want to get better at this. I want to become a stronger accounts person who can also contribute strategically instead of relying on others to connect the dots for me.

Right now, I just feel stuck, frustrated, and honestly embarrassed that after years in digital, I still struggle with this part.

If anyone here has been through this transition from accounts/client servicing into strategy I’d really appreciate guidance.

Resources, books, frameworks, practical processes, examples, courses, even your own way of thinking would help.

I’m not looking for shortcuts. I just need direction.
Because right now, I’m putting in the effort, but I don’t know if I’m learning the right things.

Are you ready for the new economy, or are you waiting to see what happens? For many local business owners, the new economy is scary, and they are not quite sure how to navigate it. Here is what you need to know right now!

Hi all,

First of all thank you for taking the time to read my post. Please read guys and girls need opinion.

Summary

i loved a girl who had a boyfriend i didn't know it initially and then i avoided she came to me once he left and i was happy she understood me. I have done a lot for her saved 20 lakhs for her, fallen at peoples feet, risked my job, etc.,

So she is hot with me when her boyfriend leaves her and cold with me when her boyfriend comes back in a span of 6 months this happens twice. Always possesive of me, i shouldn't speak to any girls even if she is a friend of mine.

So she came again sometime back saying love you maari posts and no DM just her post. I saw and was like finally she realised came to know her boyfriend left her again.

So basically it's betabuxxing.

So i don't want any fuck ups post marrying someone and if this happens in the next five years and not sure what to do so asking for your opinion.

Full story ​

So, I went abroad for studies and was worked there for sometime. During that period, I met a girl at work and kinda liked her a lot. To the point where just to make her laugh or smile i was ready to even die. I always felt the girl was pretty open honest and very loving in my opinion cause she used to care for me. I actually felt love for the first time in my life more than just physical attraction. I used to cook for her and take to office but never give it to her cause she initially had interest and then post it she kinda withdrew. She asked me twice (once infront of everyone) can we like Netflix and chill kinda way and i also tried to agree to it even though i am a virgin and even if it was a big risk for me cause if she leaves me i would be more heart broken. She used to give me her number and she itself texted first but after sometime she stopped talking (she stops talking to me when her boyfriend comes back) and I keep standing there like a joker didn't know what was happening all the time.

​

So i used to think of her every single second cause i always felt like a orphan and she was my everything to me in my mind. And she used to tell me indirectly she was in love with a guy and through following her accounts i found out he has cheated on like 4 times and by now it would be even more. Her boyfriend is in india. So she went to india and he has told her no marriage sp she was hurt. So i wanted to ensure that i take good care for her. So i saved up 20 lakhs plus to buy her a home there, cause she liked to stay there. I used to work very hard to gain that money. I have fallen in people feet for her, mind you i never go and even ask anyone for help i try to do everything myself.

​

So she restricted me from visiting her and i kinda withdrew from her cause it's not right nu. But whenever i withdrew she used to come to me like if i go in a car which she usually doesn't go she would be there and if i go to a canteen she would be there next to me, won't talk but mostly like a hot and cold kinda situation.

​

So during this time i was in complex trauma rombha painful ah irukum. Uyir mattum irukum. So i finally decided after 6 months of being around her i can't take anymore nu and since she was finding it difficult to see me and used to avoid. So i wanted to do something to ease it up for her. So i changed sites and went to a new site.

​

She used to ask my friends about me whether I'm single don't like it if i talk to a girl even as a friend. She used to lot of background checks. Many of my friends used to tell she is a bad influence and your a good person i even had lots of options. Like several European girls but with her my heart was at peace i felt like a connection of love from the past with her. Before leaving i wanted to give her sweets so i gave it to a manager and told to give it to a few people and also to her, and he had given it to her. I had bought this chocolate for her and did whatever i could for her risking everything i ever had.

​

Post me leaving to a new site she used to ask people from that site to check up on me and stuff, what am I doing whether I am talking to any girls or anything, which i didn't honestly like. But i ignored cause she hurt me a lot by avoiding me. So i finally left the country to come back to India.

​

Before leaving also i wanted to inform everyone who helped me during that time to tell them I'm leaving for India. And I wanted to just tell that I am leaving for India. So I just messaged her saying hi *name* i wanted her to speak back but she did not and around 11 pm she just blocked me after reading the text. I actually wanted to tell it as a friend mind you she always used to sit next to me ask me for Netflix and chill and stuff.

​

So heartbroken I left for India. And with the thought that once I leave the EU I will forget her altogether. Or at least try cause I don't have the money or physical or mental health to come back. For a month it was hard. Even while praying I used to see her and sometimes even to today if I see a girl in her similarity i pause for a few seconds to see if it's her raa maari. But nothing of that happened.

​

And then suddenly oneday I found her account became a public account and I went into her account and she created reels and deleted old posts. The new reals are like they are for me telling me to not stress and that she wouldn't leave and will be there with me for the rest of her life maari. And few more posts similarly. So i was like finally she understood me.

​

Then when I went into one of her posts i found out that during the time she was not talking to me and avoiding me she had brought her boyfriend to EU and they have again patched up and mind you the boyfriend cheats on her and deserts her as soon as he is done with her. He doesn't treat her with respect or love or care or affection. And again when he was leaving he broke up with her. Like he uses her like a fuckdoll.

​

I was like heart broken and think this pattern of cheating behind my back if it happens after a child or something it will be devastating for me and my mental health cause in a period of six months they break up twice and he says no marriage only casuals. And leaves her like she doesn't mean a thing.

​

all i wanted from her was a text message when i was leaving saying hi and I would have felt truly happy cause I am okay to understand she may or may not love me cause it's a very special feeling. But she didn't even treat me as a friend and it hurt me to the point where I couldn't eat for days and sleep as well. I was confined in my room and couldn't do anything ever. The last few days I was in the EU.

​

I want to know your opinion. If you are in my position what would you do.

- give her a second chance and try messaging her

- treat her as a friend and see how it goes

- run away from her and protect my mental health.

​

Please post your opinion in the poll. I know I messed up like loving her and going too much love for her. But want to know your opinions as i might not have a lot of logic in this situation. And need a third person perspective. Please help people.

​

And if you wanna shout at me for being a fool you can do that also but please don't use bad words thanks for your understanding.
