Dave,

If I were trading my system and looking at your numbers, would consider the avg loss way too high. Wouldn't mind a <50% win as long as a decent percentage of the losers were $45 throwaways or 1/2 tick $108s, which should be pulling your avg loser figure down.

If you're trading for small gains, you have to master small losses first. Part of it is entry selection. Is 20 round trips/per week really the right number? If it isn't the rest of your numbers will be way off as the transaction costs will throw everything else out of whack.
