  Not any complaint against the system or tech which works perfectly, just wondering why when I go live every system makes a new record for consecutive losses 😢 I just can’t catch a break it seems

  I guess better question is if it is better to ask until a string of losses before setting live, to increase odds of success – double posted by accident apologies

  Over-fitting (over-optimized) ?
  And do you backtest with Tick by Tick mode On ?

  There is so much to this that your experience is unavoidable, I’m sure we all get that.

  I’ve become so selective after live testing well over 100 systems now (yes I know, a junior), that I do wait for a pullback in equity curve or draw down to commence a new system for live testing with a single contract for up to 3 months. The only exception to this is if I’ve just changed a filter on a proven system because I found something better for my needs. Any more mods than that and it’s a new system and must pass all the usual tests ie. count test, limited data, 1:1, benchmark, incubation, system score and productivity expectations then live test and review.
