Quote from NoDoji:
Oh dear, that reminds me when I'd embarked on a complete "reset" of my trading and decided to trade really small while I actually learned to trade properly. Someone posted a reply to one of my small P/L reports, something to the effect of "what happened to days like this?" followed by a $3200 day I had in fall of 2008. What they failed to notice was the -18,000 day not long after that.
Surf, a robust system is based on the results of more than one trade. What happened in the combine the next day?
As much as we'd like to be able to have our brokers retain our winners and discard our losers, that doesn't seem to be an option under the "Configuration" tab
I agree with you. No question about it. That's a main reason any guru should take the combine, it prevents cherry picking and proves the person may actually be truthful. Refusing to take the combine, yet at the same time selling a stellar record--- that's the main issue that proves something isn't as it may seem.
Facts are I am a sloppy trade manager. Fortunately, I have hit enough home runs to be ahead of the game over time. But short term trade management is my weakness as I am over confident the position will come back. Even though I know better!
