I zeroed in on this one paragraph.  It's out of context, but what I want to
say about this is that when you say your "trading system can go wrong to
produce a losing trade" I don't like to think of it that way.  The system is
designed to have losing trades.  It's supposed to have x number of losers and
x amount of drawdowns.  And when I take a loss with a system that I have
confidence it, it means to me that I'm that much closer to my next bigger
winner.  Is this how others see systems trading?
