Just going over my trades,and believe it or not everything is going as planned so far. Even though it started off strong, i new this system was more of a slow mover as in backtesting, with a strong equity curve. There was 2 periods in backtesting where it went back and forth for a period of 100 days before it could break the last high and stay above it. And the others a average of 50 days. But once it would break the last high it always managed to stay above it. So as I said in the begining this is going to be a slow process and i new it when i started this.All of u just starting out like me keep some type of journal so that u can go back and reflect on your thoughts, it will help u stay focused on the big picture.
