    You have grossed an average of 1 point per trade with a 10 point stop loss?
    With commissions you are worse than a 10 to 1 risk/reward ratio. What is the point of this journal exactly – to show what not to do?
    I know successful ES traders who scalp but would never use a 10 point stop, I know successful swing traders but they would never shoot for a 1 point profit.

    The 10 point stop loss is the most thr system will allow, but that is not to say every trade will wait for that stop to get hit. The stops are floating, not hard.

    The system was turned on live today.

    Let's see how it performs after a few months.
