quah,
i thought of 2 questions. if you don't want to get into what i'm asking, that's fine..cuz i know i tend to overthink things. anyway, here they are:
1)do you consider taking every trade each day to be a part of your system? for example, i noticed a few days you had some trades at the end of the day that you didn't take. since your system is very mechanical, do you think it's ok to skip any trade? or is it only ok as long as you didn't skip a trade based on a trading reason (example: dentist appointment)?
2)this leads me to my next question. say you trade this system for a few months and it works. now, since you keep track of your trade statistics, after a while you could find out which time period was your best and which was your worst. would you consider eliminating the worst time period? would you consider doubling the size of your statistical best? this brings up a major point. would the past statistics even have anything to do with future trades?
well, i know these are some big questions..but i think this stuff is interesting.

Nice. You are trading NQ, right?
ES, for me, has had a up and down day - 5 winners, 3 double whammy's.
NQ all winner except 1 double-whammy.

On the 27 september 2002 at 9:43 your trading log says you go long @ 845.50. I cannot see how this is possible on the stochastics, I have uploaded a screen to show what I mean:
