throw the crack pipe away, AAPL is NOTHING like NFLX. How do you compare the 2?

So you have a system that has back tested extremely but haven't traded it for any substantial period of time. You are thinking that the idea and execution of this idea will be so far beyond the cro magnons who currently have the money in this trading arena, that when you start relieving of them...
