Forward testing through oanda and impressed so far. As with most methods, sticking to the plan during drawdown (which can be large with Hans123), takes strong discipline, but the performance stats are quite reassuring and from what i've seen so far the method's edge doesn't take long to kick back in. Hans recommends a 25k account to trade with full lots. His results since Mar 2005:zuke said:

If you do it.... you have got to commit fully... and like I said eralier in this thread... you have to have faith that it WILL turn around because he has had some pretty big drawdowns on the system... but he's like a bloddy robot, just keeps putting the trades in, sticks to the stops and he keeps racking the points up.....
Wtf is the Bunnygirl system ?
It's when you hop on the Big Baruch train (hop = bunny) then fell a complete t1t ( t1t = girl) for messing it up as no such beast exists.
It was a thread on Moneytec but trust me it doesn't work as it isn't really a system as all calls are subjective. i.e. you have to chose whether to take the trade or not!

Any advice on not being able to "pull the trigger" ?
Got 4 valid re-entries into the downtrend over past couple of days, of which possibly one would have failed, but 3 would have yielded profit.
( yesterdays volatility scared me from doing anything )
I have read Mark Douglas' book The Disciplined Trader, and he does describe people who may be good at having ideas and anlaysis, but bottle-out when it comes to actually trading. I fear I fall into that category.
