    100% wins are not required.

    The Grail is an evolving method with 75%+ win ratio over 1000 + trades per 200 days trading with a profit factor 5.0+ a recovery from any drawdown in less than 20 trades, and a maximum capital drawdown less than 5% from any equity high.

    It also has no losing months or weeks and rarely has a losing day.

    You will make millions for generations with those figures.

  2. My Holy Grail trades EOD makes 25%/year on average, with the worst year +15%. Max drawdown observed over a period of 100 years does not exceed 25%.

    For me there are two levels to the 'grail'. There's the 'outer santum' and the 'inner sanctum'.

    In the 'outer sanctum' are traders who understand how to create new profitable trading systems, recognise when old ones are failing, and understand how to manage portfolios of trading systems so that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. However 'outer sanctum' traders still have to work very hard at the continuous task of creating, replacing and managing trading systems.

    In the 'inner sanctum' are those traders who've also learnt how to automate the creation and management of trading systems. There are only a very few 'inner sanctum' grail traders. In fact it was regarding the 'inner sanctum' of 'grail traders' that it was once said "Many are called, but few are chosen!" :D

  4. The Grail is conceding that you have a better chance of being lucky than skillful.
