This is a great suggestion, I will do this with my next 100 trades and report back results early next week.

A person brings emotions and risk management, a model doesn't account for that.

Thanks a lot for this post, I was familiar with the expectancy model but not so much with the probability of ruin matrix. Seems like expectancy model is more for traders with consistent numbers month...

I apologize as I didn't word my original post correctly. It's one month of real time but about 3-4 months of trades. It's more like 4-5 trades per day.

I do understand that sim isn't the same as live but I do want to be profitable in sim before I even attempt to be profitable live. I know there's a big debate on whether sim is good or bad and the...

Thank you for your feedback.

I should re-word my original post. It's 1 month of real time, but about 3-4 months worth of data. So it's more of a 2.5-3% monthly ROI. Here's a P&L chart to show some...

It's something I'll have to give a lot more thought into, than I previously had. I like the fact that I can get ~2 weeks of learnings in one day during sim. Do you think it would be too much if I...

That makes a lot of sense. I've heard a lot about the psychological change so I've tried to mitigate that as much as possible but I haven't given much thought to the 'waiting' part.
