    Again, it depends on how the papertrading is done, though if you have figures on the percentage you mention, I'd like to look at them.

    I would say:

    paper trade failed ---> real trade must fail

    paper trade success ---> real trade may or may not success

    Maybe I chose a wrong time to start real trading? I made 4-8 points a day continuously since early Dec on a simulator. But this week I lost 2 points till now! If market did not change, I know there is only one problem.............

    That's a difficult question to answer without knowing the specifics of your strategy, preferably with charts showing your entries and exits.

    to control drawdown or go ahead to let probability work out?

    If your drawdown is more than was anticipated by your strategy, then you should probably stop real trading until you figure out what's wrong.
