Jasper,
There is no denying you're in a tough spot. However, there are people who have taken as long or longer before they started making money in the markets with reasonable consistency. That's neither encouragement nor discouragement. Just a fact to ponder. As for advice, there are people here who are far more qualified to dispense it than I am. However, I think it's fair to say that if you have a method that is presently not serving you well, then you should either modify it, test it on another market that may be more accommodating or drop it. Sometimes a fresh look from a different angle helps. Test it before you trade it. As you well know, just because it may test well does not mean it will necessarily trade well. But if it tests poorly, it would be a miracle if it makes any money. Most important, pay no attention to people who are ready to either dismiss you or otherwise define your fate at the drop of a hat. They may be right, and then again, they may be wrong -- just like a worthless indicator.
