How quick do you cut losers? (this can be answered in various ways) Do you take profit?

Wow. I guess this is the reason why the majority lose. You seem to think your curve fitted strategies will make money over time. Why do you think that they are losing money on every other market you test them on? These are the questions you need to ask yourself. When you developed your...

I would say it needs to perform well on the majority of markets. :)
