Sitting on a large losing trade(s). only 55% equity. Looks sketchy

Its been a hard slog, but I have finally recovered from July's bad trading and have cracked the 40% gain mark. The reason the system does not show the 40% is I deposited some extra funds in the account that I got through an IB cash back program - I still class this is as profit. what are your thoughts? Should trailing commissions based on a cash back program be counted as profits towards your trading?

mr euphoria,
why hide your balance? this is received by many as a deceptive practice.

If it makes you feel better than it is only a couple of hundred dollars. I am not here to sell a thing and it is a tool to use to analyse my own trading, not to generate dodged up results so i can onsell a system. So if it helps with your own inadequacies, then yes it is only a couple of hundred dollars

Month 1 of profitable trading. - " Finally I followed my trading plan."
Month 2 of profitable trading - " System seems stable. I think I got it."
Month 3 of profitable trading - " OK, this is getting easier. I'm on a roll."
Month 4 of profitable trading - " Trading plan is set in stone, but maybe I can decrease risk and improve the profitability of this system."

Thanks for responding. a couple of follow ups, Your trading holy grail has only been running for one month. After 2.5yrs how confident are you of it being successful long term?

Hi All,
Not really a holy grail at all. But I am wondering a few things.
1) How many people are searching for a 'holy grail'?
2) How long have you been searching for a 'holy grail' ?
3) If you found a 'holy grail' would you stop searching?
4) Have you any experience in trading manually and were/are you profitable?

Me Trading and learning the markets after 12 months of EA coding and testing and ultimately failure. I am back to basics and learning what I should have first. How to do it manually.

I have not performeda ten year backtest and I think I will run one next week when I get home to my own pc. I will say that the May 06-May07 did not produce results and in fact was a losing proposition. I did 'optimize' the EA over that 3 year period however, and at the time thought if it was profitable over one of the most volatile periods of financial history (maybe??) it would be fine. But I was surprised at the unprofitability prior to this period although still decided to test on a demo account. Cheers
