>>Did your system let you down or did you miss read the indicators

Neither -- unless one views the losing trades as a system failure -- which I don't. As I have stated many times, about half the trades on my system are losers -- but it is unusual to have hits as large as the ones that I took yesterday.

I know what you mean about the opportunities that you missed using the forks -- basically, I am convinced that until such time that one achieves the discipline that one trades every signal -- if that is what your system calls for -- one will not last in the futures game. After all, 90% of futures traders lose money -- so what is it that the remaining 10% do that is so different??
