    1. You stuck with the system no matter the drawdown

    2. You put the time in to make it.

    3. You take every signal that you need to.

    Awesome execution leads to awesome results in any edge.

  2. When you step up your size from 1 contract to 2 do you take a position of 2 contracts straight or do you take a position of 1 and then add to the position later?

    Thanks trackstar! I appreciate that. All the best to you.


    As for the questions about what I'm doing.... I really do appreciate your interest, but this just isn't about a specific strategy. It's about following a specific strategy. Does that make any sense? There's plenty of profitable ideas out there. This is about sticking to 1 and seeing what happens.

  9. As long as we have hope,
    we have direction,
    the energy to move,
    and the map to move by.
    We have a hundred alternatives,
    a thousand paths and infinity of dreams.
    Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go;
    Hopeless, we are lost forever.

    Hope is the anticipation of an event or an occurrence. Our own individual hopes are our own desires, or could be considered our wish for the future.
    Hope can give us a feeling of optimism when we are feeling discouraged. As Diogenes once said, "Hope is the dream of a waking man."

    Hope is one of the prime differences between successful people and those who can only see failure. Successful people have hope because they can clearly see their goals. People who only see failure have no hope because they see no light, they set no goals, and they see nothing accomplished.

    Successful people see alternatives and are willing to try different ways. People who only see failure are unable to see another way and give up to easily.

    With hope you are halfway to where you want to go; by setting your goals, and taking the action to achieve them, you will see your hope turn into your reality!

    Great that your sticking to it, thats commendable.

    Have you managed to programme a model that captures price action ?, if so, can I ask how, as I have been thinking of doing something similar but dont know where to begin, simple for me to programme indicators etc but Price action ... hmmm which language, platform etc ?

    thanks, HPT.
