what do you think are excelent numbers ( percent profitable --and average winner versus average loser (after slippage and commission)) for a trading system ??? the system should generate at least 200 trades every year THX for your views
I would suggest you look at the past couple of hundred trades and see what the largest gain/loss, total gain and average gain. If the system generated 2 es m3 points per trade, go for it. Not many systems do this well.
Best daytrading systems do not trade every day, 75%wins and 3% of exchange margin as a daily profit goal would be excellent. Walter
