Like Hanover said, you need to trust the system you are trading and have statistics about what to expect about the performance of your system. Is your problem the number of consecutive losers or the size of the drawdowns? Are you not able to ...

How do you cope with losing streaks?

Interesting portfolio result, the one thing that still concerns me is what would happen if all these instruments went in a draw dawn at the same time as you would then end up with a much larger draw dawn. That didn't happen in your backtest but ...
