Hi ,

  I just tried to write a program that attempts to put into words my
trading methology.
I just ran a backtest on 5 min bar chart . The test period is
2/12/98-today
(this is all the data I have).

 My problem is ...I don't know how these results compare to others.
Take a look :
   Net profit $32400
   % profitable 62%
    192 trades
    max drawdown $12850
   Return  252%

The only stop I use is end of day exit.When I optimize stops etc...the
results are much higher. 
Is using the optimize stops function just kidding myself( overfitting)??


I'm open to any comments.......thanks, Mitch
