  What is tax loss harvesting? Tax-loss harvesting is a practice of selling a security that has incurred a loss to help investors reduce or offset taxes on any capital gains income subject to taxation.

Known as back  testing this  practice allows you to apply your trading idea using historical data and determine if it is viable. Once a plan has been developed and back testing shows good results, the plan can be used in real trading. The key here is to stick to the plan. Taking trades outside of the trading plan, even if they turn out to be winners, is considered poor strategy.   Rule 2: Treat Trading Like a Business To be successful, you must approach trading as a full or part-time business, not as a hobby or a job.
