Yeah this is kinda what I was looking for. But do you for example look at trading time? To see what times work best for the strategy, or if it perfoms during news releases etc or during low volatility periods. And do you have certain benchmarks for types of strategies?

Any results yet patty-boy?

NVP! Although I'm not willing to hijack the thread and/or do not know if you are willing to ask my questions as well, BUT, is there someplace where you have summarized the idea/concept behind your correlation strength meter? As in I know there is a high degree of interrelatedness in markets...

Hi Sun! Your performance is really good! Just keep it up and don't revenge trade, and I guess you will be alright! I will keep following this thread! Koen

Hi Sun! How are you doing now? Can you tell us a bit more about your recent performance, and if your target is still 25 pips a day? And are you trading full lots on a live account now, or mini lots and/or demo sometimes :) All the best ofcourse! Koen
