Hi 
Ira,

80% is 
an exceptionally high win %.  Have you ever calculated your Avg WinLoss 
ratio?  Most people with this win% are almost alway less than 1.  Can 
I also ask what is the avg number of trades per market per year?  I suspect 
from the charts you put up that they arent overly common or short term.

  question....what is a system??????In developing a system 
  you first have to set up the parameters that fit what you want to 
  accomplish.  I wanted a simple system that provided an Entry Price, 
  specific target prices for exit, a specific stop based upon the chart, the 
  ability to adjust it to my money management system, one that would work in all 
  time frames as well as on stocks, futures and indexes.  It had to have a 
  high probability of success.  Then I started to filter through everything 
  that I knew about the market, the indicators, other systems like Eliot and 
  Gann, until I found the things which fulfilled the parameters that I set 
  forth.  It also had to be simple to operate with a minimum of 
  parts.  There are only three parts and the utilization of multiple time 
  frames.  Each trade has an 80% probability of success.  Some who use 
  the system do better then that and others not so well.  It's like 
  everything else in trading. it is dependent upon the party that is using 
  it.  It is 80% mechanical and 20% discreational.  It is the 20% that 
  gets some.  I did not create anything new and wonderful.  Every part 
  of the system has been around for 50 years or more so I didn't reinvent the 
  wheel.  I just put the wheel together so that it operated best for 
  me.  Hope that this helps explain what I did and how I did it. Ira.

    When you say system Ira.....do you mean 
    something , a set of rules, that you developed? Or do you mean something 
    that you purchased from a software vendor, which I doubt, although I have 
    been using one for stocks. My basic question is...how did you ....or anyone 
    for that matter, learn to develop a "system"? <FONT
