Well, I lost one, I guess. It hit my profit target, but I held the trade for so long that what I paid in interest cost me more than the trade won.

Unless you're backtesting the same thing I am and then you won't get enough trade opportunities. 200 Trades by Friday means 40 a day if you include Friday and 50/day if you don't. 4 years of data only gave me 40 trades,though the system is currently at 38 wins and 2 still open. I'll finish it up to current data and then go back over it again trying different money management. Jeremy,
