    ...if someone suggested a completely different system to what you accustomed to(you might use it for decades),but with the greater outcome?
     
  2. Dumping a proven method for one of greater potential would not be an option. There are too many intangibles surrounding this ‘system of greater potential’. The first of which is whether I would have the psychological make up to handle the new systems ups and drawdowns. The best I could do is allocate a small amount of capital to trading this ‘new’ system, log the results and evaluate whether this new system had potential using my trading plan.:D

  9. Nope, mine's been robust for over 12 years, I'm very comfortable with it and the winning percentage is high enough. I have absolutely no need to change anything.
