1%\day average trading USD/CAD over the next year.
I appreciate that the 1% is a proposed average - but surely you need to give your method a decent chance by implementing it as often as possible. Also, I'm not sure I see the same long term trend as you: -

1%\day average trading USD/CAD over the next year.
Your actions make no sense. Instead of taking a small loss you've just sat on it for weeks hoping for an eventual retracement. According to the premise (and title) of this thread, you could have made that loss back in 4 days of active trading. Do you really think this trade will be up $2500... -
