I remembered when I started I was trending water for like 6 months. Pretty much I was learning and testing the whole time, then in November 2003, I ended up 50% profit in less than 3 weeks, I said to myself all these hard work finally paid off. I found something that work. Just about I set myself up for a killing, and what do you know, in Jan 04, I gave everything back plus some. And I been sliding even since. If you tell us you trade base on gut feeling, you are lucky, or the market bail you out all the time.
