I would contend that if you generated >30 trades in the up direction 
for a sufficiently long period 2 years or so, you would have 
confidence that the system does well in the up direction. Same for 
down and catch the sideways as it transitions.  Very unusual to find 
a great system up, down and sideways!!  If you have one, let me know.

If you are waiting for 1000 trades, you must trade very often.
