If any of you professionals would like to look over my strategy and critic me on my pros and cons I would greatly appreciate it. Im kind of new to trading and I need all the help I can get. Thanks

If you continue each and every month this way in 3 years time you will be rubbing shoulders with George Soros and he will be asking you for advise. But this is unlikely. You are making right decisions by cutting losses at 20% DD but it becomes unsustainable in a long term. You see the market from time to time likes to throw at you several consecutive losses at a time and your account then becomes decimated. What's the solution? First of all you have to rename your strategy: instead of MAX profit you should name it STABLE profit. The first thing what investors ask is what's the risk? Then you have to reduce your risk to 2% per basket of trades. Even if you have 5 consecutive losses your account will still be able to handle 10%DD and to recover in a long term. With 30% growth per year and 15%DD investors will be lining up to give you money.

OTHER THAN:
1. It is DEMO account
2. with only 3 weeks of track record and
3. statistically insignificant number of trades
IT IS A GOOD START!

What you mention is all correct. However, it is better to concentrate on the Monthly Profit : Max. DD ratio, as all strategies with a good Monthly Profit : Max. DD ratio are SCALABLE to the individual investors' risk tolerance.
At least that is what I do. I have investors with 0.5x, 1x and 2x risk settings on the same strategy which has a 2:1 Monthly Profit : Max. DD ratio.
