Hi 
Yuki,

I 
realised, after I sent the post, that someone would comment about my statement 
regarding 2.0 being a high Sharpe ratio.   I decided to wait for the 
comment before adding to my statement.

Yes, 
you sure can have Sharpe ratios like the ones you talked about for individual 
trades.   I was referring to a long-term, large portfolio, thousands 
of trades, either backtest or real.   I think you might agree that a 
Sharpe ratio of 2.0 would be exceptionally good in those 
cases?
