...when I mean tight I am talking 1.50 pts

Interesting that your trading system works with such a tight stop. The best I could do with trading systems (tested over the full 20 years of SP futures data) is to have a stop in the range of 6 to 8 points, and even with such a large stop the average net gain per trade is only 3 points after fees and slippage.

When I try stops less that 4 points, the trading fees and slippage overwelms any profit.
