It is time for self analysis. I just closed the 400th trade for my system. All my closed trades have been positive. Total trades taken = 408, Closed 400 = All positive, 8 Open, 2 positive and 6 negative. I will wait for all these 8 open trades to reach a predetermined level before I will close them. There is approximately 55% growth since inception. The system requires limited monitoring. During times of draw down the author is still in control. I have had excellent results with this system. ---

I find max DD of 64.43% quite big. The draw down is of course caused by your decision never to close a trade with a a loss. ---

Your system has underperformed the S&P 500 while taking on massive risk. You can feel good about your 400 proftiably closed trades, but I would consider giving up the win percentage for a better overall profit. Consider some risk controls here - seriously, I am suggesting this to help you improve this system and get more subscribers.
