That's what you should be doing. You will learn "things" trading with real money, even if small, that you won't get trading sim. Suggest you continue to trade small until you've gone through a "bad market" for you... that probably means a bear market of sorts. Ideally you'll get through it with the confidence that your method can "handle" such adversity. What's more likely is that you'll be saying, "thank goodness I wasn't trading bigger size". Like Mike Tyson said, "everybody has a plan until they get hit". You'll want to know whether or not you can "take a market punch" before you lever up.
The market has been so manipulated in recent years that there is perhaps an entire generation of traders who have never "taken a shot in the mouth". Best not be complacent, as "one is coming".
You should stop this bad practice. It only reinforces poor trading habit.
When testing a methodology in sim you want to exercise rigorous discipline. Otherwise, the effort is virtually worthless.

Sounds a lot like hate to me. Those numbers are based off of improvements made on a day by day basis and different strategies. Do you know how to trade Nadex?
