Hey specialfx, I don't know your particular situation, so take these comments as generalizations. The more complicated the "system" is, the less likely it is to be effective over the long run. It seems that simple, longer-term trading set-ups are more adaptable to varied market conditions. (I have yet to see a mechanical system, out of a box, that works year in and year out without significant periods of drawdown.) Can you lay out your basic approach without giving away your secret recipe? Maybe some of the seniors here can help you out.
In general, the majors have been a little quiet lately. I encourage you to check out the blogs on this site and see if your experiences of late are similar to theirs. Sometimes the thing to do is to do nothing. Best of luck in your trading…
