  5. LOL, I know how that works. I did it myself this past week. There is a fallacy that you can control your losses with stops. A stop, mental or hard, only controls the loss on that trade. Too small and you will get chewed up, too large and you are throwing good money after bad. Most systems I have backtested actually perform better with no stop losses but you can't trade a leveraged instrument like that. If you are a professional trader, your number one object always has to be not getting blown out.

    if you have available data to you run with the drawdown on that system that you're using my bet is that it's absolutely astronomical

    I have seen a hell of a lot of systems coming go over the years but I have never heard of any system professional institutional or individual that has ever been able to maintain that kind of a win ratio
