Ray......

How would this ever work?????????

 Even though you have a system with only one set-up that has a 67% winning
ratio.....the wins/losers come in streaks.  The 67% is derived over a number
of trades.  In effect, what Ryan is promoting is to "trade the system".  If
I have a system that has tested 67%
over 1000 trades, I could have had 670 winners in a row and 330 losers in a
row.

I have seen people test out a system that had only had 3 max. losers in a
row.....AFTER 3 losers they start to increase their position size, because
they feel the odds are greatly increased that a winner is
coming.....oops.....the winner comes, but after they are out of $$$$$$....
