Ok thanks Wrbtrader, will do. :)

Sure, how do I do that?

A system that is "losing" its edge is a losing system, period. It was never a winning system to begin with, simple as that. Google for "top ten trading systems of all time" for example and see how some purely mechanical trading systems STAY profitable over the years, regardless of market...

Show us the proof!! Show us that markets behave differently over the years. Show us that, over the years, they cease to respond to trendlines and support and resistance levels, for example. I am talking about purely mechanical trading system with clearly defined rules, not subjective...

Would you rather start trading when your system has already lost $5000 (on paper only) or would prefer to trade your system immediately and risk losing $5000 at some point in time, $5000 being the maximum drawdown in this example? Think about it for a moment... :cool:

Sorry but markets do NOT change over the years, they go up, they go down and they go sideways, that's all they have been doing since day one, open any chart (even a 100 year old chart from the US stock market) and see for yourself. Sure, some years are more volatile than others, but we all...

Why? Do you have any supporting evidence to back up his statement D08? Thanks for your input.

And why is that Trader.Fighter?

Yep, possible triple bottom on the USD/CAD (around the 1.0410 area), so your trade might work, even though the Canadian dollar is usually extremely "lazy" during the Asian session.

Trader X has 10 back-tested and profitable trading systems. He knows the average and maximum drawdown of each system. He start paper-trading each system with live data and when one of the system reaches the average (or maximum) drawdown, he trades that particular system with real money...

Oh you want to bet on that horse again, eh? :) On Sundays I like to search for fake and phony breakouts, currently I am watching the New Zealand dollar and all its crosses, especially GBP/NZD, by far one of the wildest currency pairs. This sucker can move 75 pips against your position...

Absolutely, and they should rename their evil corporation as well : MOSATAN Now they are quietly buying all the seeds companies in the world and one day nobody would be able to plant anything without buying their genetically modified seeds from them. And soon owning/storing/using normal...

And soon Monsanto will control the entire food supply.... A must see video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VEZYQF9WlE

Sure, but try to day-trade the E-mini S&P 500 via a satellite internet connection in the center of Australia, for example, and we will talk some more about the 4 bars thing :p

So according to Bob, for every question we just have to answer : "Hey, just use Google!" Hmmm.... What a brilliant idea, why don't we all do that and forget all about forums.

Just keep in mind that if it's raining/snowing very hard, your satellite Internet connection could degrade dramatically or even drop completely, depending on your geographical location.

If only you could follow your own rules...

Here we go. The TV is not included though :p

I give up :confused:
