"Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particularly trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk. Variables such as the ability to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses as well as maintaining adequate liquidity are material points which can adversely affect actual real trading results."

30 Min Stochastics were in overbought territory and i felt they were going to continue... 15 Min Stochs signaled short and initially the EURUSD went my way, being up around 15 pips or so, but shortly thereafter they reversed. Bad news regarding the USD did me in today.
