Back to trading 

Like most "trading became an obsession" after a period of time. Returns from trading started to become the scorecard. The measures of personal development as the results provided the motivation to keep going & the motivation to improve.


Mechanical Trading

The years of study, Backtesting ideas (running 5 computers - 24/7) - exporting those statistical results to a Monte Carlo simulation was a worthwhile exercise giving a raw indication if the trading idea had the potential (probability) of profitability. In hindsight, the effort developed into rewards (if only by the luck of timing). What was significant - the confidence that the results gave at the time.

This is one of my trading systems - it's a mature system traded over many years. At face value, a win rate of 40% looks a bit low but within the range of a Mechanical Trend Trading Strategy. Also, my Equity curve would certainly highlight the views that [USER=2975]@ducati916[/USER] recently made about the fluidity of markets & the changing sectors within that market. Markets are fluid & change with every heartbeat. The jaggedness of the curve would bear this out.

The ocean

Waves are forming every minute of every day, some days the waves are larger than others (that's a given) but if I was a surfer (which I'm not) I would pick my day to enjoy the pastime. Trading to me is no different.
