Having a fixed statistical calculation as opposed to a computationally heavy, probabilistic simulation is certainly a plus. I will have some...
Yes, that is what my intuition tells me. Hence, I don't want to consider each trade as independent and rather look at them as clustered events....
Thanks for all the valuable feedback so far. To answer Elf's last question first, this is one single strategy that has a few input parameters...
In the book "Trading Systems" by Urban Jaekle and Emilio Tomasini that is what they call Monte Carlo analysis (chapter 4.2). What do you consider...

Slippage eats up a bit of your profit in pips. An entry and exit 20 pips apart, at 2.5 pips slippage each gives you 15 pips profit. So double the...
I am confused?! How does one master the trader's mistakes if you are copy trading? It is basically a "black box" you can't see inside. You only...
