If I were you and was giving any serious thought to trading this system live, I would open up a spreadsheet and put every trade since 2004 on file. Put all your entries, stops, take profits all down. I'd be interested to see the average pip take per ...

I would say #2. If you take into account #1, then in theory, you should take into account ANY high, even those months back. Just my opinion, but I havn't read much of the Mouteki stuff.

Good question, but this question can only be 100% rhetorical in my opinion.

I'm not putting you down at all, I think mechanically backtesting it is the only way of logically trading it live. If you can make it not only mechanical, but sucessful, more power to you. I encourage you, sorry my post read the other way around.

I have a live CMS account as well. It has around $10 in it at the moment, and I wouldn't keep much more than that in it. Another "trick" that might help the CMS customers: if your platform shows that an order was sent and recieved, but no action was ...

Has anyone seen that Saturday Night Live episode with Debby the Downer? Feline AIDS is the number one killer of all domesticated cats. WHA WHA. LOL. If you havn't seen it, you need to.

Let me put this eloquently, if I may. Stop losses are like condoms. Some people don't need them, but they either A) are professionals, or B) make mistakes that cost a lot of money. Hope this helps.
