  2. As I said, I trail the stop. I've only hit the max loss of 10 points twice. Usually it's 6-7 points loss.

    If I didn't trail the stop, my hit rate would probably increase to closer to 80% but I haven't tried it that way yet.

    I do in fact take commissions into account. And yes, the commissions are a significant fraction of the expenses for this system. I didn't say I liked it, I'm just trying out some concepts.

    The bigger question is what kind of fills I'll get using live ammo.

    What about when you have a late day reversal? Shorts caught with too little time to cover and have to cover the next day...
