    Days that wreck and liquidate Retail Ricks

    Those days are straight gambling.. look on forexfactory, they have one of the more useful economic calendars.

    I should be OK if I strictly practice PRM? Cut my losses and let my profits run, so net positive?

    Retail Ricks always think they are the exception.

    that is the final test.

    it should make sense,

    not some system or mumbo jumbo or black magic

    And we are all above average.:D

    Just finished trading this morning and need to correct the live trade statistics:

    I miss-counted the number of trades. The paper trade statistics remains the same and here are the updated live test results after three and a half weeks:

    Live:
    # of trading days: 17
    # of winning days: 12
    # of trades: 233
    % winning trades: 45.5%
    Average # of trades per day: 14
    Min # of trades in a day: 6
    Max # of trades in a day: 37
    Max drawdown in a single trade: $6.56 (on $1K per trade)
    Max drawdown in a day: $15.84 (on $1K per trade)
    Average profits per day: $5 (on $1K per trade), a free Big Mac
