It's time to start a new thread :)

These are some of the things I look at when considering a trading system.
I would be interested in what other people look for especially if it is different from my list.

High Win% - needs to be higher than 50% for me, prefer at least 70%

Drawdowns - I started with a small account so it can't be too large right now

Trades per week -prefer 3 to 5, some trades go for over a week, at this point I would be too tempted modify the trade so I need shorter term trades.

Look at Trade System Website - some system websites are better than others but they have some good information

Stop Loss for the system - 300 pips is too much for me right now

Currency pairs- I do not like to use 2 different systems for the same currency pair

Trade history - 3 month and last month, a lot of systems just started in January so I like to compare equal performance times for the systems I am considering. I do check the longer time frames for systems I like. I want good long term performance.

PIPs per trade - I like at least 10 prefer more
