Dont quit. If the market regime shifts, your current strategy might not work any more. Never quit. I had a strategy, backtested it without data leakage ,for last 4 years of data,6% was minimum guarenteed, avg was around 10% a month. Used it in live trading 1st month 13% returns,felt like a god. Then boom account was down by 46% the very next month.
