”  nother thing i cant get my head around, why should any system “beat” any ETF/indicies… you dont KNOW that the ETF is going to be up 20%, but if you KNOW that theres a 90% chance that your system will be up 15% i would much rather use the system? also you can just add amount of contracts if you think the profits are too small? ” well all we do know is that index etfs beat these systems over the periods tested   . I am not trying to rain on your parade so dont get defensive . if you cant handle reality maybe trading isnt for you  . If you cant beat an index etf why would you bother actively trading is the question i ask  in return ?  I will refrain from posting again in your threads , good luck and trade well

Edit  couple those systems if you add many more contracts they will go to ruin  , its not that easy to just leverage up .  I can suggest you read a couple Howard Bandy books on quantitative trading , they will help you understand expectancy , probability curves and risk of ruin  .
