Hello

trading a mechanical system is like  entering a trade on your own,
you must have a plan  and stick to it,
if the system over time works well and you know you risk reward  BEFORE
entering into the trade,, AND have just  one filter to the mechanical system
that  still make you do what it says  but  betting with your head and not 
over your head. you will always be successful
having large DD  or  A streak of bad trades is part of ANY system
just because a system has them all of a sudden DOES not mean you abandon the 
system!
