Wow... I wish you good luck. You'll need it. You really cannot afford to be unlucky with such big positions (relative to your account size). You're taking the "gunslinger" approach. I just hope...

Some good points in that article. However I would caution against putting too much weight in back-testing. Back-testing is useful in weeding out systems that have flaws. But, when it comes to...

Getting Good
Institutional traders do strike out on their own, quite often in fact. And the best ones in the private sector go on to manage private pools of capital.

Pivots & Fibs in MT4
Fibs and pivots are not the same thing, however when these levels line up, that particular support/resistance level is that much more powerful. If I'm in a trade and I see a pivot and a Fib line up...
