>>"But to say that taking 15 trades is overtrading by the very fact that 15 is more than some amount (3 or 5 or 7) - nah, can't agree."<< I believe number does matter when you take into consideration the size of your trading capital. If 15 trades a day is normal or considered NOT overtrading, then it is reasonably to assume that your trading capital is substantial compared to everyday mom and pop operation. Otherwise, you will run out of ammunition before the statistic of your trading system turn in your favor. Thus, from this point-of-view, overtrading, as defined by how quickly your losses eat away your capital before your winning trades come to your rescue, can still apply even though you are following all your trading system's signals to the letter. In this regard, then in your own words, "If it's too many, well, may be criteria should be refined" to accommodate the size of our own trading capital. Balance is the operative word here. :-)
