Soooo true Soultrader.

I was proud of all my backtesting and analysis, and pride comes before the fall. I made 12% in a week (on stocks), then lost it the next week as I was too uncertain (scared) to follow my system, when I didnt know if I would keep making money. A profitable system after commissions IS hard to find, and I dont believe people who say it isn't (all my testing has proved that out), but when you find one you are only half way there. Then the 'balls' and psych comes in.
