    I was visiting friend in Vegas, she plays Video poker, she played 2300 hands at $100 a hand in 5 hours, little wins like 4 of a kind and full house, but overall losses, then she got the Royal Flush paying 4800 to 1, made her year, but she plays almost everyday as a Business, she also has points each hand that goes on her card. Now, I could never play this as a business and yet it very much like day trading, you take trades and don't give them much time to take off or you make a tick most times, just waiting for trade to take off for two points to less, that is how day trading has evolved for me, a totally boring job, and one of number reasons went to automation, can't stand boring anything and too slow to trade number of markets. You do enough back testing, winning trades don't hang around long after you get in, no sense getting married to it.

    Really, Holy Grails don't come around too often and almost always by error, they will do losses but very few. And instead of doing great volume, you slide in enough so most people have no idea what you have, otherwise others will find way to shut you down. You keep your mouth shut and when people try to bait you, ignore them. Find happiness in your life, money really don't bring happiness but it does bring freedom to not be doing boring ass jobs. And never share it, others will ruin it, never be able to trust them and they compete against you, let them spend 30,000 hours programming and back testing, never manage other people's money, why make 20% when you can make 100%. Spend time in other areas of trading or weaknesses.

    damn, it past 1 am

    Those numbers and this chart is not possible, there is a minimum of entropy in any market that's impossible to avoid either your results are fake or you're going to blow up.
