Gringott's Bank - I applaud what you've tried to do with your trading.
Natural selection (for want of a better word) quickly weeds out the less than stellar psyche's from the market reasonably effectively. The majority of highly successful traders have gotten where they are through developing systems (approaches) which are right for them, and then in executing these systems, they have not wavered - they they do not doubt, second guess or change (which is often a recipe for disaster). What i see in your aproach is a genuine attempt to strengthen your own mental edge, and good on your for doing this. It's one of the most fundamental areas of investment in corporate leaders (my past life), so why not traders?
beachlife: I'm with Julia - if you've genuinely developed a system which models 100% annual return through thorough backtesting, then for goodness' sake, set aside part of your equity, and trade the bloody thing without question, to see how it performs in real time.
Seeking a benchmark from public comment in ASF is an academic exercise at best, and by the looks of many responses, might be calling the legitimacy of your OP into question, and/or drawing some criticism around the ego-factor. Most of the best traders in the world have systems generating long term CAGR of 30-50%, so why on earth wouldn't you look at this as a rudimentary comparison?
Peace out.
