Hi,
If you stay in trade for 30-40 min your average profit should be higher then figures you have posted. What kind of system is that, I mean what is based on ?

I've been tinkering around with a bunch of stuff not really putting anything together until now. So simply, yes this is the first "real" system I have put together...
 
With your avg. profit so close to your avg. loss (almost a 1:1 ratio), you'll want to see at least a 60% win rate, preferably 65%. You may also want to look at the effects of a mere 1 tick slippage on your results.
 
It's the short part of the system that is killing me:

Long 58.9% to 41.1% (w to l) with avg. p to l of 4.16 to 2.21
Short 46.2% to 53.8% (w to l) with avg. p to l of 2.24 to 2.67

finally max DD winners: 16.5 / losers 34.0.

Going to tweak some more...
