    advice on selling a strategy

    You might let "Futures Truth" check it out for you. There's probably a way you can keep the method confidential while they test it in real-time. They're a fairly well respected company that rates several systems. If it gets up there in the top 10, I'm sure you can sell quite a few...

    Trade Management, Stop Management, Exit Strategy

    Try to get a 3-1 ratio on your trades. It's as simple as that. Just as ELCubana says...if you can get 3 dollars for every dollar you risk, you can be wrong 7 out of 10 trades and still make money.

    Only a few setup's

    Sounds like you're evolving...ultimately you will reach that stage where your trading style fits your personality. Actually, I was just the opposite. The longer I traded, the more trades I made, until finally I found that place where I was happy.

    Average holding time for winning trades

    Scalping

    30 or 40 Cents! You're a long term investor, dude.:D Seriously though, it depends on where you get your information. Personally, I wouldn't consider you a scalper. I don't trade stocks, I trade the ES, but if a 1 cent move in a stock is considered a tick, then a...
