I am not a very good or experienced trader so take that into consideration when you hear my comments. Your win/loss ratio seems a bit high. The best trader that I know has only a 57% win/loss ratio. He only does trades that have a high risk/reward ratio like you do. He always trades with the trend. That way if he is wrong then the trend often does save him later. He doesn't have a tight stop. He probably isn't as good as you are in telling the short term trend. A few months ago he had a streak of 16 straight winners on the spoos. He is good in telling the trend. If he has a trade then he has to win each trade eventually if the trend doesn't change on him. Best Wishes, Bob
