Your problem would be: You don't fully know the stats success/lost ratio of your entries When you know more about it, you will be confident to take all entries.

Thats easily solved by applying the system to different seasons and blocks of times. Or is that what you do to fool yourself you have a profitable system?
Dr. It sounds as if you are doing very well with your trading, but you might be starting to let your emotions get to you. There's only three things that can happen when you place an order. * Your order is hit and you make money * Your order is hit and you lose money * Your order is missed Missed orders are a part of trading, if you are forecasting the next move correctly but missed it just because your order was not hit (especially by only one pip) this is not something that you should look at as being a negative. This is something that should be viewed in a positive light, you knew the next move and you did not lose money. This should be building your confidence not degrading it. Don't lose your patience, and stick to your risk parameters. Once you lose your patience and become anxious about your trading then you are asking for trouble.
