32.33% average p.a. return in the last 5 years. 19.93% max drawdown. Very good IMO

I agree. Start with 2, 5, 10 min. time frames and see what you can get. There's so much noise in tickdata, I guess noise=trends at such a short time frame... plus slippage, commissions - you probably have no chance to win at this level. PS. I use old Celeron 333MHz for backtesting with 5min...

Now, T4A in EEE thread explains why you can't win in a random market. How can the markets be even tougher? Most people have worse than random outcomes due to psychological issues and poor risk management, IMO.

First of all, look at Efficient Market's conditions: 1] infinite number of traders 2] single trader's orders don't have any influence on price (so, the market has infinite volume) 3] every trader has the same investment time horizon, risk tolerance 4] there are no transaction and news costs...

The greatest job in the world! Nitro's signature nails it "BUT ABOVE ALL, YOU GOTTA DO SIZE" :D Average individual trader Joe deals with severe stress (especially when s/he doesn't have other income source) and ~maybe~ will earn $15 - 50k/year. Mr Crabel gets $40M - how lucky and -of course-...
