How many points per day do you get during papertrade

Quote from Jayford:

Everyone who paper trades before switching to real trading made money in the paper phase (or else why would they switch). How many then make money in the real world? Not many as a percentage.

Again, it depends on how the papertrading is done, though if you have figures on the percentage you mention, I'd like to look at them.

I would say:

paper trade failed ---> real trade must fail

paper trade success ---> real trade may or may not success
 
Maybe I chose a wrong time to start real trading? I made 4-8 points a day continuously since early Dec on a simulator. But this week I lost 2 points till now! If market did not change, I know there is only one problem.............

That's a difficult question to answer without knowing the specifics of your strategy, preferably with charts showing your entries and exits.

to control drawdown or go ahead to let probability work out?

If your drawdown is more than was anticipated by your strategy, then you should probably stop real trading until you figure out what's wrong.
