How much time have you wasted on systems?

If you were given a trading system that a trader proved had a 70% win rate, why would you need to test it 10,000 times? Apply a few filters to any price pattern and the win rate increases, only trade with the trend etc. I agree we have to test and ...

My 30 pips Daily and my 45% Weekly Journal

I totally agree, all you need is, high low close and a calculator. I just need to wean myself off of charts.

Is 90% of TA useless?

Good post and I should have read it before I replied to Ocean. I would also advise to forget pips and use percentages instead. Pip counts are meaningless. On a really good day I may make 80 or 90 pips in 5 or 6 trades equating to between 7% and 12% ...
